Managing attachement/files

There is somethign really wrong with usability of this new UI.
I wanted to post an image in one of my post.I used attachment and uploaded file from my desktop and it worked fine.
Now when I am trying to post same image in another post ..When I click on Upload button it says that image is already posted. How can I post same image at 2 places.

one dumb way is to change the name of file and then upload it again. But there has to be other way too.

Re: Managing attachement/files

you can use the same attachment in many threads, PM or journals.

– use the [ATTACH] tag for that purpose.
– then add the attachment ID into it (which is a 3 or 4 digit number)
– close the tag useing [/ATTACH]

this is an attachment I uploaded, posted in another thread. Posting it here again using the attachment ID (which is 553 in this case)

How do I know what is the attachment id for my attachment.
Also , In your case it is just a link..Image doesnt show up in ur post.

Re: Managing attachement/files

ok..I have to check my old image’s url and get attachmentids from there.
why is it so complicated?
Old one was better.

Gizzy, can you please enact a separate rule that says a "Tiranga" can only be posted once in 2 months, or something.
