I have that part sorted out now I think although I did not see any edit icon.
Another question how are Irv & Christell uploading their photos so they do not get the word " attachments "
above their page like I have.?

Here's what I do:
1. Resize the photo/layout to 600 pixels wide. Layouts usually need some selective sharpening after this.
2. Upload the photo to prestophoto.
3. Wait for prestophoto to process the photo, then navigate to the full size view. (For example,
http://www.prestophoto.com/photos/image/2651323/73931)
4. Point the mouse at the photo and right click. Choose "Copy image location" from the menu. This is in Firefox. Internet Explorer will be similar.
5. In a separate browser tab, navigate to the PCEC forum thread where I want to post, and click "POSTREPLY".
6. In the "Post a Reply" text box, right click and choose Paste. This will insert the image location from step 4. Note that this is not the same as the url. The image location for the url referenced in step 3 is
http://storage1.prestophoto.com/storage/user ... /large.jpg, for instance.
7. Drag the mouse to select the image location and then click the "Img" icon. This will place Img tags at the front and back of the image location.
8. Add text and formatting to taste.
9. Click preview to make sure all is right before submitting.
I figured this out by trial and error. It may not be the "approved" method.
