This may be right or wrong.
Firstly, prepare the image file on your computer. Use something like Irfanview to crop it to size. Save it as a jpg, not a png because for some reason some computers corrupt png files.
Now edit the article you want to add the picture to.
Down the bottom under
Quick Upload there is a button
Choose File
Use it to find the image file on your computer.
Now go to the rectangular box by
GetFile.aspx?File=/ and type in a single lower case name of a folder that already exists, eg
floor. This will be the destination folder.
Hit the
Upload/Refresh
button just above it.
This loads your image file up onto the server in the right folder.
Now decide where to put your image, click on the green image button on the toolbar above the editing box. Decide which positioning option you want and enter a title for the picture. Now go to the third box and find your picture using
pick file. Then go back up to the second box and
browse to find it again. I haven't got the faintest idea why that is necessary.
The code inserted should look like this
[imageauto|example|{UP}gregpics/smath_user_func2.png|gregpics/smath_user_func2.png]
and despite it being a png file it looks like this

making your own folder
Click on
File Management at the bottom centre of the page and create your own folder, again I strongly suggest you use a lowercase name with no punctuation. Then you can keep all your images in one place.
