why do I always get the message "you must enter a post" when I try to enter Posts with Pictures?

I want to participate in the new mechlab but it is nearly impossible when i always get this anoying message.
I can see the preview post but I cannot post it.

How are you inserting the pictures into the post. Also, what browser are you using?

I'am using IE11
I tried to paste it, use the button paste.

That's the problem. You can't paste pictures in.

You need to have them hosted on the internet, since you need a URL. I recommend using IMGUR, to host your images. It's free.

then use the following code:

[img]the url of the picture[/img]

Here's a working example:



You can also click on the "image" on the post toolbar. It will give you a small field, paste the link in, and you're good to go.
