How to post a pic in thread
 

I cant find the 'Manage Attachments'.. Do I need to donate, get a star, to get this feature to appear?

How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

Host your pictures on photobucket or flikr and post them. Much easier to manage that way too.

the forum rules specifically states that I should be able to....I noticed at the very bottom of page it says I may not post attachments. do i need to donate to do this?

tried to do it off facebook, didn't work. don't have other accounts at those places. would like to just do it without doing photobucket or fllikr uless i have to.

i should add this:
I certainly don't mind donating cause this site takes money to run and is an awesome service for us. also if I do need to donate, then it should say so under that help topic.

thanks
