attached to a previous message? I want to put up a new message and attach to it an attachment that I'd uploaded on a previous date. I don't see anywhere in the "manage attachment" window that allows you to browse your previously uploaded attachments.

In the User CP you can look at all your attachments. Look at the left, all the way at the bottom under Misc.

Yeah, I've got that, but there's no where to take one of these images and re-attach it to a new message. I've tried viewing the URL, copying and pasting that into a new message, but all I get is a link, not the image. I've also tried pasting that URL into the "Insert Image" dialog box, but that only produces a link also. I want to be able to take a previous image and have it show up as a thumbnail, just like when you originally attach an images.

Here's what you get when you simply copy-n-paste the url. You get a link:

Here's what you get when you use the Insert Image feature. You also only get a link:


Its no big deal, I just thought that through the "Manage Attachments" feature, you should be able to attach a previously uploaded image.

Yes, but for some reason, you only get a link to the image, not a thumbnail of the image or the image itself.

Here's what you get when you put the tags around it

your forum setup is probably defaulted this so people like PN don't leech your bandwidth.

j/k about PN, he's a good guy, but others would probably link to RM attachments off-site. You might not care tho.
