Title: Attachments

Dumb question, but I don't seem to be able to find the answer: how do I attach an image to my post?

I can select the file with the "choose a file" button, but if I then preview, there is no image. I assume there is a second step to embed the attached image???
Maybe the answer could be added to the "New Forum Tips" locked thread...

Attached pics don't show up when you preview but will be uploaded when you actually post.

Ok, small attachments (frame of a comic) worked fine.

Attempting to attach a photo resulted in a blank screen after hitting "post", with no trace of text or photo remaining once the smoke cleared.
This is due to the size restrictions perfaps? I was easily inside the file-size restriction, but maybe not the pixel limit...

It would be nice to have an automatic re-size option if that is the case, to save having to do a 1-off re-size on any image I was to post.

Try again with new sizes and see what happens.  I'll talk over whether there is a way to do what you suggest.  We may limited by the forum software itself.

The d'oh is contagious, I am having a hard time posting, with 1.6 and 1.8 MB files.

1.44MB with 4k x 6k pixels is a no-no...

Ok, same image resized to 1000 x 665, 366kB
