yeah, most things are in a beta state on steemit. But there are different frontends. If you use https://busy.org/ for example, at least drag and drop or copy and paste of images works. In https://steemit.com it didn't work for me.
I'm also still quite new on here. I started in January.
Thanks again.... logged into busy.org, assuming images are uploaded by making posts? Don't see another way to do that yet, I apologize in advance for bothering you if it's something simple, lol.
when you create a post in busy.org you can just drag and drop the image into the editor. It uploads automatically and inserts the the correct markup.
The same if you just take a picture in your clipboard (Ctrl+C) you can just paste (Ctrl+V) it in the editor and it also uploads automatically. At least yesterday this worked for me.
Thanks!
