Managed Attachments

There seems to be some confusion over uploading photos to this website. Whilst you can always get a 3rd party to host your photos, there is always this website's own facility. For people who haven't a clue, here's how it goes.

 

When starting a thread/post, use the go advanced option where, underneath the text window, will be additonal options. [see Add-Ops below]

 

You'll notice a button saying Manage Attachments. Click on this and you'll see a window [see Man-Att below] which allows you to browse your own PC, and upload a picture, text, document, etc.. Once you've uploaded the item, preview it using the Preview Post button, and if you're satisfied with it, submit the post. You'll end up with a clickable thumbnail, just like I have to explain this:

Managed attachments look a bit rubbish though compared to an actual picture. Having to click on links is more of a pain than being able to instantly see the pic. And in your example, you can't even see what it is in the thumbnails.

Didn't say it was the last wonder Scummer, but it is there for people who don't want to/can't use 3rd party hosts. The thumbnails, in this case mask the details. It wouldn't be the same in a picture.
