Default CP Forum question

{{not sure where else to post this}}

So yesterday I wanted to post a picture, and read the blurb about doing so. However, when I go to do that I notice at the bottom of the page it says:

You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may not post attachments
You may edit your posts

Three of them make sense, but the attachment one does not...cannot every subscribed member post attachments?

I don't think CP uses attachments at all. They're a pretty big resource hog to upload pics to cp servers. Just use the bbcode to post pics.

Yeah, I just upload the image to imgur and then use the bbcode as btimbit states above to display the image.

Ah - K -- thanks; totally makes sense. Also prevents stupid stuff (malware etc) from showing up. I'll open up an imgur account.

Don't even think you need an account to use imgur

Yeah there's lots of free options out there to host images and other files, no reason to host them on CP's servers, so no one has permissions to attach a file to a post.

I've tried following those steps and the image doesn't show up but my imgur link does.
Does it take a while? First time image poster over here!

You need the actual image address with the .jpg, .gif, .png (etc) extension on it, not the link to the imgur.com page. The easiest way to get that is to right click on the image and "Copy image address". Then, put that inside the [img] tags.
