What sort of attachment are you looking to add, picture link etc?

when you click add reply the text box that you type in, has the ability to insert items into the post. just hover the mouse over each icon.

Hope this helps
Regards,

Alan.

No. That only inserts am image or a link. I was thinking in terms of attaching, for example a zipped file or such. (As is common on other sites)

The attachment feature is not available in all areas of the forums. It is disabled by admin for security purposes except in certain areas.

File Attachments can only be added in the HijackThis Logs and Analysis, and Staff forums, which aren't accessible to the regular membership.
As Pandy said, this is done for security reasons.

It would be too easy, for someone to attach an infected file, that could be downloaded, and executed, before it was caught by the staff.
The danger, far outweighs, the benefits.

I don't believe you can, mmax.

I think either the Mods or Admins can, though.
