	Attachments in private forums Put an end to popups!

The title speaks for itself. As it stands the 'attachments' button is disabled, and no teams are able to attach screenshots, graphics, etc to their private forums.

Can this be fixed sometime? Posting screenshots and graphics is crucial in communicating between those in the teams WITH PTW and those without it.

Thanks.

Just post it in a thread our here and place an image link in your post in there. It will show up in your post.

The rest of us will just ponder what it is out here..........

Interesting.

But there's no way of preventing anyone from the other teams from finding those attachments and using them. Team security is not something I want to give up...

But I agree, screenies in our private fora would be very helpful, not everyone has web space on which to post images

I know he was trying to trick me. I expect nothing less from Ghengis.

You CAN do an attachment at the CREATION of a new thread, but not in editting or replying. You can just spam the all kinds of new threads...

Thank you, that is at least something. I don't suppose we will spam our board each time we want to show a screenie, though.

However, I don't think other people can download your attachment. In our forum, Jack_www posted a save, and we can't download it...

I wonder, would this no-attachment business be a bug, or a decision of Markos?

Well, there is something to be said for not taking up server space when only a few people can view it. It's just that I don't like it

I'd rather not spam other threads with images that are necessary to the GS, and I'd rather not have those attachments available to those not on my team, unless for some strange reason our team decides to allow another team view it.

I am wondering too, is the attachments problem intentional or does it have more to do with server space here or etc.?
