For some reason, I can't post attachments. It says "You May Not Post Attachments".

What do I have to do to fix this? Went into User CP and there does not seem to be any way to reconfigure it to allow me to be able to do so.

Thanks!

Right, all those are on, except for attachments. Blah.

So, what does that mean? My photos are all on another service obviously, on Flickr, or on my computer at my office or home. If I want to attach something to a post here, do I just copy the URL into the post?

Excuse my stupidity. I've never had to do this before :)

What you need is the url to your image and just bracket it in the img code [img]

Also if you´re linking from Flichr... go to `all sizes` on your pic to get the right URL :)

Elora, it sounds like you want to imbed images rather then post attachments.

You can do that by typing in the following but you need to replace the ( ) with [ ] brackets.

(IMG)Put image url here (/IMG)

Also if you go into the User CP (Control Panel), select Edit Options, go to the bottom under Misc. Options and select Enhanced Options. This will give you a few more buttons you can click in the post editor incliding one for images.

Ron! The Enhanced Options was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for your help!
