      Noted.

      We have to hand edit some .php code and test to ensure the forum remains secure.

      Another thing to consider is bandwidth.

      Fantastic eye candy but if the people putting images up aren’t capable of or don’t bother reducing file size for the web it can use alot of resources. Not to mention very slow page load for dial up users.

      Having said that. Spinal Tap has a 45 gig/month transfer allowance which is heaps enough to include images at the moment. Work commenced.

      UPDATE:

      We are having trouble finding one small problem with the attachment mod.
      It will take longer to fix than expected.

      Meanwhile you can use the Img tag at the top off your Post Message screen and link to the image if it’s on the web. PM me if you need an image put up on the web.

      It works like this:

      Take your image URL address eg:
      http://www.streetsie.com/forum/templates/Solaris/images/forumlogo.jpg
      And type [img]before%20it%20and[/img] after it. Preview before you submit.

      You get this:

      maybe we could like make a page for all members to put up a pic of themselves so they can see what all the other members look like – if that doesnt sound like a stupid idea.

      It’s a good idea just sexpistol77 beat you to it.
      That’s why we set up the attachments feature so you can easily add images etc to your posts. Only registered members can see attachments.

      Is that what you mean repoman :?:
