When you attach a picture, you have to click the "Submit" button that's UNDER the Additional Options section. If you click the one above, it ignores your attachment.

If that's not it, then you gotta be more specific :)

TBH, I don't know how to link to existing files in your user CP.

You can pull up the image in your Manage Attachments section of the CP, and right click, then click properties and copy and paste that address, but it won't appear as an image in your post, it'll appear as a link that people have to click on to view it.

Oh. Then you're just screwed :p

You're way over your image quota, and you need to delete a lot of your previous posts/images in order to post more.

http://www.imagemotel.com - upload it there and use their link to post it here.

I don't know what o-foto is, but assuming its an image hosting service, you can do the same thing.

A lot of hosting services will watermark your images or won't allow external linking... Imagemotel allows external linking with no watermark and no bandwidth cap. Now, who really knows how long the image will be on the server, but mine from a month ago are still there so that's all that really matters.

The tag is what you use ([ IMG ]http://www.blah.com/yourpicture.jpg[ /IMG ]) but last I knew you couldn't use it with the RM links because RM doesn't link to a file with an extension, it links to [url]http://www.ridemonkey.com/specialPHPdohicky?attachment=12345[/url] ...

No, it'll be gone.

Yeah, I saw a couple of the shots you took with it. Good stuff :thumb:

A coworker just picked up a G5 and I got to fondle it for an hour or so during lunch - had only tried the G3 before. Nice camera.
