    attaching previous photos?

    Is there was an easy way to include a previously posted photo into a new thread?

    I just tried and couldn't find a way. I wanted to include an photo I uploaded a month ago and I couldn't find a way to include it except to paste a link to it.

    Jeff, the only way I know how to do that is to take the original image and modify it, ever so slightly. For instance, resize it by a couple pixels or something similar. Then rename it. For example, go from "picture.jpg" to "picture2.jpg". You should then be able to upload it to your new post/thread OK.

    But.. that would just take up space.

    The best way is to open the old post, right click on the picture and "Save Link As" or "Copy Shortcut".
    Then, you can press the "Insert Image" button and paste the link into the new post.

    Uhhhhh...Yeah. That'll work, too!

    Hey Aaron, maybe you should make that process a sticky or something in the Support Forum???
