Attaching a file to a posting

Hobart · 2003-03-10 14:55:17

How do I attach a file to a post? Thanks in advance. Just to clarify I see the "Attach File" option at the end of every new posting but that does not seem to upload a file from your hard drive??

Are you sure? Maybe you were trying to upload an invalid file type. The valid types are gif, jpg, png, txt, zip, bmp and jpeg.

hey, can you tell me how to put more than one attachment in your post, if possible, or do you have to use a separate post of each attachment? thanks
