Default Posting pictures works using copy and paste and not using the picture icon

Okay, so I noticed when I went to edit a post, that it would not let me add a photo to my edited post using the mountain/moon icon, but it let me copy and paste a photo right into the thread itself while in edit mode. Then I tried the copy/paste a photo into another thread and it worked without using the mountain/moon icon.

Also, while using the copy/paste method, it does not add the same exact photo back to the first page of my gallery. Which is awesome because some photos are in my album like 10 times, every time I re-post it.

Thought this may help some users who are having issues posting pictures.

Thanks Jon,that will hopefully help some. I think it was on this site that I discovered that, tried to explain it, but no where near as clear as yourself. I've just totally given up on using the "manage attachments" button, the "moon/mountain" thing, and the "paperclip". Don't know if IB is still looking at the problem or not.

Does it work for you using the method I described?

Yes it does, it's actually easier and faster than when I would do it using the manage attachment and moon/mountain thingys. My photo instantly appears now, rather than waiting and wondering. I haven't even tried the olde way once I discovered what you describe.
That photo was done in edit.
