A new post attachment feature has been enabled for all users.

When you are in reply mode you can attach up to 5 images (JPG, GIF and PNG are allowed).

It'll be especially useful in threads where you want to attach/share images by uploading them from your computer rather than linking to some other sites which may remove the images or not permit hotlinking. I envisage this being most useful in the game type threads. :)

Please report any issues or post feedback in this thread.

Enjoy.  :)

So your server will host the uploaded images?

Yes.

To be honest I also did it for people like yourself so that you don't get images blocked from whatever censors providing people actually use this feature.

That's very kind of you! ;)

Plenty of space on there then?

Hmm. I just went to use this and I can't find an Attach button anywhere in the Reply window?

Am I missing something? Cache/cookie clearance required perhaps?

Yep.

I only have: "Notify me of replies/Return to this topic/Don't use smileys" check boxes down there.

Hmmmm... Weird.

I just checked the permissions and everyone should have access to upload as well. :/

Good. Was a permissions issue. If it doesn't work in a specific area of the forum let me know.

Don't you have the 'additional options' link under the text area when you reply? If you click on it there should be an option there to attach files.

 :lol: I was fumbling my way around the permissions and I forgot to enable it for moderators. So normal users have been able to do it but the evil moderators like you weren't.  :facepalm:
