For some reason, the link above thinks its a video. Were you uploading a photo or video?
I'm not sure what you are doing to know exactly where the process isn't working.
But I will tell you how I would do it (I do know that there are some glitches with the attachment system so doing it differently could be the problem you are encountering).
So, here is how I do it:
1. Go to manage attachments (using advanced editor). This opens the attachment dialog box. If for some reason this doesn't open, you may need to allow pop ups on your browser for CaptiveReefs.
2. Click on Add Files in the upper right hand corner of the attachment dialog box. This opens up a drop down box.
3. Then be sure "upload files from your computer" is clicked.
4. Then click "Browse".
5. Select the photo you want to upload.
6. Click "Upload".
At this point the image you uploaded will show up in the bottom of the attachment dialog box under the attachment dialog box. Just say done and it should appear below the message editor in attachments section. Alternatively you can select "insert inline" and it will place the image where your cursor is in the message editor.
Aside from this, the other thing to keep in mind is that images need to be resized to work on the web. If they are too large the system will not upload them. I'd recommend resizing your photos down to ~800x600px and also optimizing them so they aren't larger than 80KB. CR will take larger photos than that, but optimizing photos will help others view your threads better especially on mobile devices.
Lastly, another option is to use a photo hosting service like Photobucket to host your photos. Once the image is uploaded there, under the share settings you can find the URL for the image. At that point use the img bbcode to insert them into your post like this [img]url to image[/img].
It may be helpful to toggle the WYSIWYG editor mode (use the "A/A" button on the upper left hand corner of the advanced message editor) to switch between bbcode view and WYSIWYG view as you are composing your message.
