Attachments

[#1]

Quite frequently we see new users posting with images that they have uploaded to bitbucket or similar - because they haven't found the option to attach images in Additional Options.
I wonder if changing it to:
Additional Options and Attachments...
might help more people find it?

[#2]

It might - or might not  - but definitely worth a try 

[#3]

Could someone from Plusnet make a comment please.
There's been more people posting images that they've uploaded elsewhere in the last few days. A moderator thought it was worth a try.

[#4]

...and so did another as some of the images uploaded to sites and linked to in a post are unreadable without resorting to 'CTRL +'

[#5]

Not a bad suggestion Jelv, I'll see if I can find out how easy it would be to make that change.

[#6]

We *should* be able to do this after we've made the forum layout changes within the next couple of weeks.

[#7]

This change was made today along with the other forum style updates.

Great - we'll be watching to see whether people are still uploading images elsewhere - hopefully they'll see this and won't.

looks Ok

I sometimes upload images elsewhere where I want things  displayed inline with my post content. Well I say elsewhere but I still tend to upload the images to the Community servers

Agreed, there are occasions when displaying images in-line is appropriate. But we do see a lot of posts where an attached image would be far more suitable - if only because of the automatic thumbnail.

and one of our original moans is that a lot of inline posts are so small its impossible to read anything, I often post photo's in line but I think always post screen shots of text as attachments
