I have had it pointed out by a member that when looking through the forums FAQ that the answer to the question.
"Can I post images?" This is the reply
'Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. https://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).'
As we aren't able to edit these FAQs I think it is quite important that Forumotion update this. I am putting this in other rather than a suggestion as I believe it is something that has just been overlooked. We have servimg, so this info should be there on our forums. I will put some sort of guide on my forum, but if members look at the FAQs it will still give conflicting info.
I don't think outdated info on a forum gives a good impression.
Thanks
