How do I add attachments to forum replies?  Can it even be done?  

I've just had to post an image using an external URL, but I'm trying to avoid that at the moment as I'm in the middle of moving hosts.

When you click on the reply button you should see a button for add an attachment, click on there and everything should be self explanatory.

I've just managed to add a picture Pete.
Are you trying to upload something other than a picture? Could it be the file extention?

No, I don't get the option to add an attachment.

Someone from admin wil be along and have a look soon.
It may be down to rights if others can't do it as well.

Was your earlier pic accessed without adding an attachment?
The one of the camera on the goggles?

The pic with the goggles was added using the [ U R L ] tag, rather than an attachment.

Just make me a mod, that'll sort the problem.   :D

Does the attachment box come up on all of the other forums? Or is it just Websites?

Erm, certainly works in this one, see 4 posts up.   :D

Haven't tried in others (yet).

Just tried it - I get the Attachment button here and in The Bar, but not in Websites.

The permissions are set differently for a lot of the forums for various historical reasons ;-)

That answers that question then.  At least I know I'm not going mad.   :D
