 * Thanks Esmi, I’ll try the MU forum, didn’t twig to that one 🙂
 * Yeah Marty, wpmu+buddypress with a few plugins, it’s a wpmu dev custom install,
   so I’d assume it to be done properly, I’d not be game to do it myself 😛
 * I’d already put in an inquiry with the wordpress helpcentre guys to try their
   paid support when I read your offer, Marty, but I tried finding a contact for
   you anyway, but there’s no email on your profile. Might want to look at that,
   coz if these support guys don’t work out I’d be over like a shot. (Now that I’ve
   got them, I want to give them a fair chance, don’t like backing off from a deal
   like has been done to me all too often)
 * Hopefully, one way or another, some progress soon. It’s all a big learning curve
   eh? Tho’ it’d probably help if I wasn’t so slow, but then the tortoise won the
   race, right? Heheh.
 * My site is volutedtales.com, if you want to ever take a squiz, and you can grab
   me at [admin@volutedtales.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobsanders/replies/admin@volutedtales.com?output_format=md).
 * It’s intended to support my new ezines, (I’m a literary editor) four editions,
   each once a month, each with their own blog, and the buddypress stuff is just
   to encourage a small community around the zines of readers, fans, writers, artists,
   etc. I’m not after anything too fancy, just functional, hence they need to be
   able to use the basic features, like images, at least.
 * Thanks heaps guys. Appreciate it!
    Bob.

 * Hey Guys,
 * Yeah, I realise that the volunteer forums are problably not for this and apologise;
   put it down to a tired frustration rant at 3am :/
 * But, in my defence, I’ve already tried various jobs boards, without success, 
   and three previous topics I started here over the past month have garnered no
   replies at all, nada, so when writing that, I didn’t really have a serious belief
   that anyone would reply. My experiences with support, even paid support forums
   at wmpu dev, have not been helpful, any more than the jobs boards.
    Maybe I’ve
   just been unlucky, but it hasn’t filled me with a lot of confidence and was feeling
   really down about it.
 * Thanks for asking Othellobloke, but I’ve already listed details in my other threads,
   and I think it’s considered wrong to run a topic into different areas, if my 
   limited understanding of forum etiquette is right, and I’d better start doing
   it properly before I cheese anyone off, heheh, but they can be found in my profile
   links 🙂
 * Cheers, Bob.

 * Hi Esmi and Marty,
 * Already found that in docs, Esmi, but, like I said, it doesn’t match what I’m
   seeing or what the software is doing, so no go.
 * For instance, under the heading ‘Inserting Images’, the first instruction given
   is to click once on the image to open up a pop-up menua with selections. No such
   thing happens, no matter where I click on the image (the instructions don’t define
   if the image to be clicked is in the library, or in the pop-up opened after using
   the media icon, as Marty describes, but anywhere I click on an image, nothing
   happens at all).
 * Thaks Marty, I’ve already used the media pop-up you describe, tho there are differences;‘
   Media Library’ is labelled as ‘Gallery’, but same diff’ I guess, and I can use
   all the features just fine, but there is no ‘Insert into Post’. Just doesn’t 
   exist.
    There is a ‘Make Featured Image’, which I can use just fine, but once
   used it can not be used again, so it wont let me add more than one image to a
   post. When using a page rather than post, the ‘Make featured image’ option isn’t
   even there, and with no ‘Insert Image’ to click, there’s just no way to get a
   single image into a page, let alone several. This is what I mean about the things
   described in the docs just not matching what I’m seeing, so they’re not a lot
   of help.
 * Thanks for trying anyway, guys 🙂
    Bob.

 * Just looked at the following new post
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/return-not-working-with-images-in-editor?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/return-not-working-with-images-in-editor?replies=1)
 * The screenshot shows that there is a media icon present on the editor toolbar
   that’s missing on mine. Looks like a strip of film, between the ‘custom character’
   and ‘remove formatting’ icons. Is this the button I’m missing to be able to insert
   media?
    The other four media icons above the toolbar labelled upload/insert are
   all present and working fine.
 * Anyone have any ideas?
