... read faq ... search messages ... :-)

* You can't attach, because that would eat server bandwidth.
* To post images you don't use HTML gibberish, you use the 'IMG' button in the post screen. It will cue you for a location for your image. Fill that in and it should work. It does put some html-gibberish-like stuff in the text of your post, that's called vB Code and it's how the server will know where to put the image.
* You need to host your own images on some server somewhere to be able to post them here. This may or may not cost you money to hire hosting. You have to ftp stuff there yourself.
* If the IMG button is not there, you need to switch on 'vB Code' in your User CP Options screen. That's located on the top of the page.

PS. I'm no mod or admin or anything so if you have continuing problems please post either in the Help section (prefered) or in the Lounge section with these questions. I hope to have helped you out here.

Good luck and hope to see some art soon!
