But Boards.ie: Mark had posted that you can do it now after 5 posts…

Can you try posting something with an image in a new thread in the Test forum please? Your image will need to be hosted elsewhere (unless you're using the Responsive site, which allows for images to be uploaded from your PC).

To post an image, you'll need the URL of the image itself.

by clicking on the second image and then clicking view image. Then select the text from the address bar and use that as your link when adding the image to Boards.

That results in
