I read the FAQ and it said to use the attachment feature located at the bottom of the forum window but i can not seem to find that feature? Is it on the left side or right side? I think i'm going blind can somebody please help me?

In the General forum, the upload feature is not available. Linking to a hosted site is highly discouraged to avoid dead links. If you build a personal page, you can show an image from that in your post.

It has been suggested that members use photos sparingly in discussion threads (when a photo is really necessary) since it affects performance.

I tried to post in an image in a Forum discussion last week for the first time. I was accessing the Whaler Central site through AOL and the "attactment" feature did not appear. I had to access Whaler Central through Internet Explorer directly to have the "attachment" feature show up at the bottom of the page. Hope this helps.

One other tip here:
The attachment does not show up on the Quick Reply window at the bottom.
You must click on the "Reply" button and then you will see the attachment feature.

thanks for the help guys. I'm just trying to post some pictures of a boat i might buy but i wanted to get your guys' opinion first because i'm new to boating. I've been fishing for awhile in salt and fresh and know nothing about boats.

host them on Photobucket or Picasa and then paste the link in a thread seeking input.
