Attachment question
I just put up a new thread where I wanted to re-use an existing attachment.
I know how to browse my attachments via User CP. I know how to get the URL of the chosen attachment but ...
I wanted to show the attachment as an attachment, not as a raw link or an image. How do you do this? The attachment window wouldn't upload the from the attachment's URL (surprise, surprise) and I couldn't find anything to code the URL as an attachment into the post.
This is the thread http://woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/...536#post541536
I want that thumping great big piccy as an attachment.

Drag it to your desktop, change the name of the pic, then upload it again.
That's my work around. (which is why I occasionallly run pics inline - I'm too lazy to do it!)
But I'm watching with eager anticipation. Wongo can do it I know he can.
Cheers,

OK now I am under some real pressure. Well that is a way but it is a programmer's way.:-
You create and image, make it 20% big, create a link to the image. When click on, a new window opens up with the same image.
Confused??

Do this and replace "[", "]" with "<", ">" :-
[a href='ADDRESS OF PICTURE' target='_blank'][image src=''ADDRESS OF PICTURE' height='20%' width='20%' border=0][/a]

Thanks boys. I was aware of both of them but was hoping to save some of Neil's bandwidth by reusing existing files. I guess I'm after a third option in the attachments window - 'upload from your computer', 'upload from a URL', and 'use an existing attachment'.

here's where Al tells me that already exists :rolleyes:
