Manage Attachments doesn't work

I'm being disallowed to manage attachments.

Options don't have attachments anymore. What's with that?
It has:

Attach Files
Valid file extensions: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png psd txt wmf zip

Hi Bob. You may have to change the format prior to upload.
If that doesn't work, try uploading them directly to the site in your profile albums.
Then you can use the bb code to copy and paste them in threads.
Good luck.
-Robert.

Robert,

Thanks for the 411. I'll try the upload to profile but I'm confused on how "to change the format".

I don't know that I changed any of my settings yet I am no longer able to "manage attachments". Yesterday or the day before I was able to see the "manage attachments" option but not today.

I don't want to have to do a two step process. Posting pics to profile then past into thread is not my preference right now. I would rather post pic directly into the thread in one step (like I was able to do yesterday).

I don't like change but it's been the cause of steady work for a long time.

Are you using the "go advanced" version when posting?
Another thing to try is logging off, and then back on again.

Robert,

It's funny. Logging off and then back on has fixed more problems than any other "fix". I've been using that line for over thirty years, working with computers.

Yes I was using "Go Advanced" feature.

Logging off.

See you later.

Haven't logged off yet.

Tried to see if deleting one of my attachments would allow me to add another one in its place. Good theory but it still doesn't let me manage attachments.

Really logging off now. Tomorrow will be here too soon.

How big are the pics? I have had trouble before if they are to big.
If they are I upload first then copy the bb code.
