How can I upload a picture from my hard drive and embed it in a post?

I am anonymous because I cannot login to my account. Either I've gotten my password wrong a dozen times, typed my email in wrong half a dozen times, or something's wrong (wikidot has screwed up or my account has been hacked).

You can't actually embed pictures with posts. But, in the top right-hand corner of all posts is a "Forum Attachments" link. This link will bring your window down to the bottom where you can click another link to "add a file".

Once a file is added, right-click the file to copy the url address ("copy link" or "copy shortcut" in different browsers) and paste it in the following code:

[[image URL]]

The code I use in my forum signatures is the following:

[[image http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/local--files/home/tibasicdevsig4.png alt="TI-Basic Developer" link="http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com"]]

This links to the site portal page when it's clicked, and displays "TI-Basic Developer" when you hover your mouse over it.

in the top right-hand corner of all posts is a "Forum Attachments" link

Can't you see it? It is beneath the heading of each post (right side, top of page).

Wow. That sucks about your account. I think there's a picture upload thing in one of icons when you're uploading a post. I don't know much
more than that. I've never personally uploaded one. You should send James kanjo, Weregoose, Socks, or another experienced wikidotter a
Personal Messsss… Oh. I forgot. You can't log in. I'll personal message Weregoose about that. He'll probably be able to fix that. I think he's a
site administrator. Hopefully, your unfortunate situation will be rectified.

(p.s. I see that James has explained the picture thing, while I was typing.)

Actually, I would assume his account is fixed since he posted a message an hour ago.

I don't know which forums are which, but if you edit in the admin manager, then you can make it where anonymous people can post.

Be sure you are not logged in, and hit reply to this message.

yes. My account's fixed. I think this was a coincidental mess-up by both me and my Firefox profile. I had forgotten I hadn't changed my Wikidot password, because I have Firefox remember it. Then I used another profile, where my pass wasn't remembered. Strange thing is, though, that when I got back on to my profile, it showed a hexadecimal password, and not my real one. I finally remembered my old one by using a password revealer.

Oh, BTW, it really sucks that Wikidot doesn't support passwords over 20 characters long. The one I want to use is about 40.

Wow, thats, a long password.

It's actually a pass phrase. The base sentence is ~32 characters long, plus a unique phrase that identifies the site I'm on.
