In summary, the toolbar button for inserting images may not be showing up due to browser compatibility, internet connection, or software glitches. If it is not visible, images can still be inserted through the "Insert" menu, keyboard shortcut, or by dragging and dropping. The toolbar can also be customized to include the insert image button. If the button is grayed out or disabled, it could be due to incorrect document selection or unsupported image format. To resize or edit the inserted image, it can be selected and handled or right-clicked for options such as cropping, rotating, or adding borders.

How come I can insert images (not attach) into my posts only sometimes? Sometimes I see the button on the toolbar and other times I do not. Also, fails to work when I can't see the toolbar button.
