Re: File attachment problems

Presumably you're clicking on the Options tab, then clicking on 'File atachments, Add/update'? That's not what you need to do to insert images in a thread.

Your image needs to be uploaded into a photo hosting site (like flickr or photobucket), and then you need to insert a link to that image by clicking on the 'image' icon in the toolbar (if you're using the rich text editor) or (if you;re not using the rich text editor) by typing

<img src="URL to image" width="400"/>
