Step 3

Once the image is in your Media Manager, click on it to insert into your question.
The image should appear in-line at the spot where your cursor was positioned when you opened the Media Manager.
iFixit images show up in 4:3 format. Most modern cameras capture in 3:2 or 16:9, which will require a crop. If you change your capturing preferences when taking pictures to 4:3, you won’t need to crop them in the Media Manager.

I can believe, but must, that iFixit has made uploading images this difficult rather than they way it used to be done! What a bunch of putzes.
