stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Upload them to somewhere like Imageshack or Imgur. Alternatively, if they're already on the internet somewhere, enclose the URL of the image in [IMG][/IMG] tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippineSaint Posted 3 January, 2013 Author Share Posted 3 January, 2013 Fair enough but why does the FAQ not say that but tells you that attachments can be added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 The FAQ is the default vBulletin-issued set of questions and answers based on everything being left completely open. We've never done that for a number of reasons, the main one being security. Uploading files to the server leaves us open to someone uploading something suspicious and causing problems for the site.

PhilippineSaint Posted 3 January, 2013 Author Share Posted 3 January, 2013 So don't you think you should change the standard spiel to one that is relevant to this site or can't that be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 It's never been a problem before. It's something that could be done at some point, but having spent my entire New Years Eve cleaning up after a hacker, it's quite low down my list of priorities, I'm afraid.
