Hi All,

Can anyone help me please. It would be useful if I was able to attach photos to my posts from time to time especially when asking for advice with bike parts etc.

I have looked and I cannot find out how to add pics.....is it easy? if so can someone please explain how?

Thanks in advance.

    I have to say it would be useful having the ability to upload pictures directly. It would also stop hotlinking which I have noticed once or twice.

    I am sure phpBB has the function to allow this and probably can even be set up to limit sizes etc.

    I do not have a photobucket, flickr, etc account and am not about to set one up just so I can post the occasional picture here. It is a pity.
