Will save the repeated quests for advice on how to upload.
This is not any kind of new innovation. On this forum software VBulletin the option is called manage attachments on the MM forum using phpBB3 the option is called upload attachment. They have their upload file limit set at the default 2Mb whereas this forum has it set at a low Kb. It's just a matter of how much traffic there is on the forum and how much storage space is available. That is a matter for the forum owners.

So in answer to your question the function is already there just set at a different upload size.

In phpBB the picture is inserted in the post, in Vbulletin the picture is uploaded to a storage area and a thumbnail link is inserted in the post.
