How to make a post with attachment(s)

[Joe_Chan]

One of the nice thing forum is that you can attach file(s) to a post (including replies). This way, you can actually reference things to a specific file if it's a local files. (you can also link to any standard URL as well).

To attached a file to a post, after (or during) editing your content:

1. Scroll just passed the text entry box that you're writing in and you will see an "Attachments" tab

2. Click on "Attachments" tab and then click on 'Add Files', you can then locate the file on your local machine to attach to the post.

Step 3 and 4 are optional steps so that you can placed the attached file(s) "in-line".

3. You can then have the option to place the attached file(s) "in-line". Where "in-line" would be where the 'editing cursor' inside the text entry box. 1st image here shows where to click and 2nd shows what happens after you click on 'place in-line'.
