I want to include a picture in a new topic to illustrate a problem but the past option when creating a topic doesn't seem to allow pictures. Anyone know how this can be done if at all?

Post a link to the picture. the [img] tags are disabled on this forum. Oh, and if I'm not mistaken you need at least 5 posts before you can post links.

They may of changed it since the spam bots were becoming real people, thus they found a loophole to workaround that rule.

I may be wrong, so I think it is still 5 posts.

I think it's 10 posts and IIRC you must also be a member for a least a week before you can include links in your posts.
