Problems with the painful procedure for placing pictures...

Ok, first question.. you are using the gallery for images? Not linking to remote sites or attaching images to a post, right??

That's correct: I'm speaking of images which I've placed in my Gallery Albums.

Second, where are you clicking on the image? I thought if you clicked on an image anywhere, it would do the lytebox effect. Where are you getting this "img" data to copy and can you post an example of this data?

If I open an Album, I can click on a thumbnail and get the lytebox effect. The is no "img" data displayed with this method. Although it no longer seems to work, originally, I could click on the lytebox image and "Copy" it, then paste it into my composition window.

What "Image Name" are you clicking on?

The "Image Name" appears under the thumbnail - it's the name which I've given to each particular photograph. If you click on this instead of the thumbnail, you get a regular (not lytebox) enlargement of the picture. What was identified as "Image Name" beneath the thumbnail is then called the "Image Title", although it's the same text as that which appears as "Image Name".
Beneath this is a box entitled "Image BB Code:" - in it appears "[album]###[/album]
And beneath that is a box entitled "Image-URL" - in it appears "http......" and ending in the "image id number, which is the same as the ### in the previous box.

Clicking on the data in the "Image BB Code" box causes it to be highlighted: you then click "Copy" and then "Paste" it into the composition window.
When posted, the image appears - sometimes all of it, other times with part of the right side missing. This seems to be independent of picture size, although I don't generally check picture "Properties" when posting - I figure that if I could manage to get it into the Gallery, it should be sized to also display correctly. I've recently started to make upload images even smaller (640x480), but that's no guarantee that part of the picture won't be missing. Clicking on any posted images seems to give the lytebox effect, and if the image is one that's missing its right side, the whole image is displayed in the lytebox.

I need to understand exactly what people are trying to do, because there seems to be an insane amount of confusion in this area. I think things are getting lost in communication.

That's certainly true, Pat. Here's what I see when I go to my Gallery:

[album]498[/album]

Clicking on "Structure Photos", I get this:
[album]497[/album]

If I click on the thumbnail at top left, I see this:
[album]496[/album]

If I hover over the "Image Name", it's highlighted, as shown here:
[album]495[/album]

If I click on the highlighted "Image Name", I get this enlargement, complete with the two boxes below the "Image Title":
[album]494[/album]

Clicking on the "Image BBcode" box highlights it, like this:
[album]499[/album]

then I hit "Copy", then "Paste" it into my post.

All of these screenshots were sized to 640x480 - we'll see if the full image posts or if we get the "condensed" version.

EDIT: I was composing this as Matt posted - on his screenshot, I can see the entire thing by using the scroll bars. On my pictures which are partially cut-off, there are no scroll bars but if you click on the partial image, it will be displayed, in its entirety, in a lytebox. I'll see if I can find an example to post here.
