Attaching images to your posts:
1. At the bottom of the post page you will find the "Upload attachment" tab.
2. Press the "Choose File" button and find your file. Then press the "Add the file" button to upload it.

3. If you want it to be seen as part of your post, place your cursor where you want it in your message, then scroll back down and click "Place inline."

4. Click "Preview" to be sure it's posting properly, and if you are happy, click "Submit".

Limitations: Max file size is 10MB and Max number of attachments per post is 10. (I recommend shrinking the file size before uploading... 10 is huge, but I don't want to restrict those who aren't sure how to do that.)
Limitations for private messaging is 1MB each and 2 posts.

Attaching videos:
1. Upload your video to a service such as youtube.
2. Make a note of the URL of your video. It'll look something like this:
3. The only part you need is the dQw4w9WgXcQ
4. Now take a look at the right end of the tool bar:

5. Click the "youtube" button and paste the "secret code" from your video inside the Youtube tags ... for me it looks like this [yootube]dQw4w9WgXcQ[/yootube]
(Note, I misspelled youtube to fool the tags.)
6. Click "Preview" to be sure it's playing properly and you're all set - just press submit!

Thanks for the info however when I reply to the current fall meeting post the :Upload Attachment " tab is not there nor is it there when I create a new post. :sad:
I suspect you have the magic power of attachments as it is available when i reply to this post ;)

Are you sure? I'm replying to you using your permission set and I have "upload attachment" tab at the bottom.

OK, update....
If I create a new topic in the general forum or the picture forum the upload tab is there :music-rockout:
I had tried in the members only forum and no upload tab is present :snooty:
I suspect this is by design.. :sad:
Thanks for all your help :banana-guitar:

Should be fixed now. Each forum has its own permissions - I changed it for the general board, but missed that little detail on the members only section.
