OT: How to insert pictures in forum posts? at DVinfo.net

Okay, I've read the FAQ and it says that the administrator may allow you to use the attach feature to insert images into forum posts...do I need to get permission to do that? There is no Manage Attachments button at the bottom of the post composition page...or do they really prefer we just put a clickable link to the image stored elsewhere?

PM Chris Hurd, and ask for capability. I m not sure what criteria is.... maybe longevity, etc....

Hi Nathan. Your profile indicates that you don't yet have permission to post attachements. IIRC, this privilege begins 30 days following Chris' approval of your account. So you will probably find that it starts working soon.

I'll ask Chris to clarify this when he has a moment.

Okay, thanks! I can always post images to my website and link to those as I've been doing, but occasionally it would be nice just to put a small image into a forum post for others to quick view...not an issue, it's all good. :o)
