I was at version 8 and it worked. I just upgraded to 12 and it still works.

So all is good with the paperclip world now?

FF has more users everyday and has features the others don't.

Great for pics and passwords for instance.

Should posting a photo be this difficult? It does not work on my system. Charlene was kind enough to try and walk me through it, even though I have been successful many times in the past in loading photos to this site. She has been successful in the past in uploading photos and spent some time with me walking me through it. She finally gave up because she couldn't find a way of doing it etiher. Something is wrong. There is no "Paper chip" nor "manage attachments" showing up and a box is checked with says "not allowed to load attachments". It should not be this hard....and I've seen many people(who are computer literate) complain before about this before.

Ok it does work, but it may be your browser or it may not be updated.

What kind of browser are you using how old is it.

Did you try going back to the old version of the forum?

Need more info if you want to resolve it.

I just checked on my old version of Safari (which is what I'm using now) and the 'manage attachments' is definitely there at the section called 'additional options', just below where I'm typing. I think that 'not allowed' message is usually for newcomers with less than 10 posts. You probably should PM the Admin. Sounds like a unique problem.

I don't thing that is the problem....I have many more than 10 posts.....I have been on TOTV for years and have had many posts and have been able to attached photos before without any problem. I have sent messages to the administrator and not received any help.

1. Click on post reply. (not quick reply)
2. In the gray area above the white message screen is a paper clip. Click on it and it will open a new window.
3. Enlarge that window.
4. Choose a picture from your computer. Hit Upload. Click out of that window.
5. Click on paper clip again and your file should be there. Click it.
6. Your picture will show once you submit your reply.

under the quick reply box is a Go Advanced button which should take you to the Reply to Thread box. above the message area should be 2 rows of icons. paperclip is between smiley face and undo/redo arrows.
