Posting attachments.

Whats up people. Someone just told me aabout these boards recently and I must say they rock. Only one problem. I am not allowed to post attachments! It says "you may not post attachments" under my forum rules... this is driving me nuts. What do I need to do? Anyone, anyone? Help would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the tight work everyone.

You can't post attachments. That was my idea, really. If we would allow attachments to be posted, it would totally kill the server (the bandwidth would increase dramatically and we would run out of space really fast). We do allow the administrators to post attachments, though.
So, what you need to do in order to post an image, is to upload it somewhere* and then link in the image in your post, just like this:
http://www.link.to/your/image.jpg

*) If you have your own website, use it and link the image. If you don't have your own site, make sure you don't choose the hosts which don't allow "hotlinking" (displaying a picture on another site). For example, Geocities won't work.


I hope this helps. If it doesn't...tell me! :)
