Are you really having trouble or just thinking you have hit the limits in what you can achieve in your present setting?

Choose the 'More Reply Options' button. At the bottom you will be able to use the uploader to select a file (one at a time) and upload it. Once you do that, select the 'Attach" button for that image file. Then you can repeat the process to add more photos to the posting. Once you have them all selected, uploaded and attached, add them into the post in the order you want them to appear, after that maybe use the preview button to make sure they look as you wish. and finally post the message with the images. This may seem a bit much at first, but once you try it, the process is fairly straight-forward and helps you from accidentally posting the wrong images.
