I posted here earlier this week, and for some reason it was moved.....but it only makes sense to be here. I need help with posting attachements to my posts. I used to see an option to post an attachement, but now it's gone. Can someone tell me WHY?

Thanks.
Gwen

There is information here viewtopic.php?t=16024

If you are not seeing the option for attachments check to see that you are in a section that allows that to occur. There are only three sections for this "Show off your projects!", "Free Embroidery Designs!" and "iscellaneous Pictures" Attachments are not allowed in any other section and those buttons should not be available. You also must be signed on to post anywhere outside of the "Forum Support"

Hi Gwen

I looked at your other posts and I think the one was moved to general chat area as it was asking about attachements to e-mails.

Is this the one

when posts are moved on other forums I frequent they always leave a ghost so you can click on it and it takes you to where the post was moved and it says in the thread title - moved. It would be really nice if that was done here - would keep alot of feelings from being hurt, I do think, along with thinking your thread was deleted until you were to run across it again somewhere else. Just my opinion.

In most cases they are shadowed and in this exact case it was shadowed as you mentioned. Also, in all cases every member can click there ID link and go to the short profile page and click the "Find all posts by" link and find everything they ever posted no mater where it would be moved. They could also click the "View your posts" link on the main page to find their posts as well.

When I move a thread I have always left a shadow of the post so that the member is able to find it. I agree that it is a good practice to follow.

In this particular case a shawdow was left on the post and that is how I was able to find it. :lol:
