Then you come back to this thread and click Insert Image. Delete anything out then paste in the URL (might be a right click function) then click OK.
You should then see that URL encased by image tags. Now post the post.
The image should now be in the post.
I can't replicate that issue with IE because it has never happened on the 3 versions I've used. It might be a Windows 8 issue? It's poor having to open that to do things like this because you already have IE open surely to be using the forum? Or are you using a strip down browser of some kind hence needing to open a proper browser to do these functions?
It is what it is, Dave. It's only a couple of clicks more to change it from a hyperlink to a displayed image.

Did some searching around about what you mentioned.
The reason you are getting a prompt to use the desktop IE is because Windows 8 included a "Metro" version as well as a full IE version. It's basically a stripped down program and obviously it doesn't handle certain functions you need.
If opening the desktop version at this point allows you to finish the process, that's all good. If you don't want those messages, use the desktop version when surfing. If it doesn't bother you the rest of the time, it's obviously no issue for you.
I'm glad I went straight from Vista to 10. Windows 8 was always very buggy and the design wasn't the best.
