All, can someone explain, in plain English, how to attach pictures to a posting? I have a few pictures from the Ocean City 2007 gathering that I want to share. I have them on my C drive in my PictureProject folder. Below is what I found on the help section on attaching documents and it's not exactly clear to me, at least tonight. Maybe I need to talk to Old Grand Dad or or my uncle Jack Daniels! thank you, Jerry (95 Bright Aqua Metallic)
Attaching Documents to a Post
mvnForum supports at several ways to attach files to a thread or post. The first is the ability to embed an image within the body of a post; the second is to attach a file, such as supporting documentation, to a post. The process is slightly different for each method: including images make a reference to an image that must already be on the internet and accessible via a URL; attached files are uploaded to the forum server which then relates the file(s) to the post. Users can then access the files from within the post context.
Add an image - while creating/editing a post, click the Image button in the top tool bar (scripting must be enabled for this to work - for most things in the forum to work). Enter the complete URL for the image and the image will be placed in the post when it is rendered. The code you see is mvnforum code for storing the reference in a database - it should not look like valid HTML.
Attach a file - while creating/editing a post, check the I would like to attach more files check box and commit the post by clicking the submit button at the bottom of the form (the button label depends on whether you are editing, creating or responding). When the post has been submitted, the forum provides a link to Go to file attachment. Click this link to access the file attachment form. Either enter the path on the local or remote computer where the file is stored or click the Browse button to search for the file and optionally enter a description for the file. You can choose to attach more files by checking the I would like to attach more files again at the bottom.
n.b. To attach files, you must have file attachment permissions; members of the Power User group and above have this permission and it can be set by selecting the Add Attach permission.
