Hi @dgriderjr
You didn’t answer this.
Did you try to reinstall your fonts? And restart your computer?
If you are on Window, I remember that there is an option to reset/correct fonts problem in the OS…(in Control Panel/Fonts/Fonts settings and Restore default fonts settings) (don’t know it this helps though)
To upload a picture you can just drag it into the post editor (the box where you enter the text of your posts). (It is all explained in the Forum Guide)
