I've just upgraded the site to enable users to attach photographs and/or files to their posts.
I believe the option activated (which cost $1 per credit, 2 credits per month ) should cover us for 1 month and entitles us to a storage limit of 20MB (512k per file).
I am embarrassed to say that although I realise that the cost is minimal, unfortunately I have extremely meagre funds (I am unemployed and have no internet access at home after all) and therefore cannot promise to continue to offer the facility without a little help, so I suggest that we just consider this option as a test ok?
Anyway, what you need to do to add a pic to your post is simple. When you choose to make a post you will see a new field beneath the Subject field, marked "Attachment", with a "Browse" button at the right. Just click the Browse button to search your computer for an appropriate file to include and Bob's your uncle!
Please be aware that all files must be 512kb or less.
I'll give it a try in this post to check it!
Hopefully all will go well and we can discuss the future of the facility at a later date since I am unable to be online regularly. I shall try to reply to any comments as quickly as possible.
Good luck!

The initial 2 credits I purchased only lasted until the end of the month, not FOR 1 month from the date of purchase as I'd expected. I will add another 2 credits when I can but this won't be for more than 1 week at least. Anyhow, I hope you will all find some use for the option as I haven't seen any replies here in this thread which surprises me somewhat. I thought this would be an option that would prove quite popular. Time will tell I guess.
I'm told that if members wish to donate credits ($2 for the required 2 credits per month) they can, however... I have no idea how you would go about this.
Anyway watch this space, and let me know how you feel about having this option in the future.

I just discovered how you (the members) can donate credits to the forum if you'd like.
On the main page, scroll down to the bottom of the screen, and below the Google search bar you'll see the words "Click Here To Make This Board Ad-Free". Click there and you'll be taken to the Proboards Forum Credit Service page where any credits purchased will be assigned to this forum.
$2 per month for 2 credits buys the forum 20Mb of space for pics/attachments per month.
My thanks in advance to any member who donates any amount, however large or small.

I've just added another 2 credits to the site so Picture Posting (Attachments) is now reactivated!
This feature will be active until the endo of the calendar month unless another 2 credits are added so please make use of the function folks. ;D

I've paid this months (Sept) attachment fee so pics can be posted as usual.
