I am not too sure how this is supposed to work. As usual I am playing about with some of the new things one can do on this forum.
Let me know what you see (if anything)

So far as I can tell the option to upload an attachment means that you should be able to post pictures (or other things) directly from your PC without having to have them already on the web, as is the case with picturtes using the [img] function.

A drawback is the file name - but that's only a minor one.

EDIT: Ah, I see now I am told how many views the attachment has had. But surely this would be equal to the number of times the content is viewed? I will keep checking.

Did you attach it? It should look like this: The picture you've posted has an image code: Did you select 'Upload attachment' from below the reply box? You select it, choose a file from your PC, then click on Add the file. Place your mouse where you want to place it, then click on Place inline.
And there it should be.

I don't fully understand the stats. The topic has been viewed 56 times, yet the Woof! Woof! has been viewed 103 times.

Download driving instructions from Faro airport to Carvoeiro as a PDF file

Let's try some pdf. Here's a page from my magazine:

Brilliant!

Here's a one-pager I did earlier

I have some ideas about the use of attachments in FAQ. Watch THIS SPACE

Let's see how it handles a BIG picture (255k):
This is 255kb, the maximum is 256kb.

Here's a smaller picture: So, smaller ones 311 x 288 pixels for example fit fully, whereas 1,184 x 1,500 pixels don't.

This one is 800 x 600: The width seems OK, but it appears that 600 is too high to show an entire picture without having to scroll up.

I'd guess the max height to be 300 pixels. Therefore, to show a picture without scroll it needs to be within 600 x 300 . . . probably!

OK, let's see if 600 x 300 fits: Yep!

Now 800 x 300: OK, so I think this is the limit before scrolling. . . until someone else proves me wrong!

thnx michael
now it works
