Actually, it's not a new feature, it's been there the whole time. However, after some intense research, we finally believe we learned why (after 18 years) some people had issues finding the feature to simply add photos to a post.

It's NOT available if you are just using the Quick Reply at the bottom of the thread page. The feature is only available in the standard Reply form, or if creating a new thread. Additionally, while the phrase "Attach a file after posting" seemed obvious to some, it didn't include the word "photo". 

So, I just completed three modifications to help folks out for the next 18 years.

  1. Changed the label of the "reply" button to read "Advanced Reply"
  2. Changed the text to add attachments from "Attach file after posting" to "Attach a photo or file after posting."
  3. Added an info heading to the Quick Reply box to let folks know to use the Advanced Reply option to access enhanced posting features including adding photos.
Enjoy

I never had a problem posting photos, but I’m glad to see an active topic other than that darn IPQ.

It always worked fine for me.
Just a humble little Colorado get together.
I miss the car, still have the guitars.

Based on my experience with other forums, OFC isn't alone. It's very common on many, if not most forums, for posters to comment that they have photos but can't figure out how to post them.

Hopefully your changes will work as expected.

Just a heads-up, you must be logged in to see pictures posted this way. Guests, such as people finding the site via google search, will not see them.
