Just small spelling mistake, I'm sure it's embed and not imbed.

The Image button method always seems to take a very long time, in comparison to the file attachments method which I always use.
 
Every time I try to upload from my files, it does not successfully attach. All it does is reach 100% and no files are shown after that.
 
What kind of file are you trying to upload & what is the size?

If you haven't already done so, zip up the file and try to attach it.
