How to attach a file to a post.
1. Start a post or reply to one.
2. Type the name of the file you want to attach:
3. Highlight name of file to attach and click on the Hyperlink icon in the toolbar
4. Click on the Camera Icon
5. Click on the Browse button at the bottom of the upload window.
6. Navigate to the file you want to attach and then click Save
7. You will see the file listed in the upload window. Click the Upload button.
8. Click the Browse Tab at the top and find the file you uploaded and then click on it.
9. Set Target to open in the link in the same window (prompts the user to download the file). Put something in the Title window then click Insert.
You fill will now be attached and the text you selected in the beginning should now be blue to indicate that it is clickable.
It should be noted that an upgrade to the forum software was made available soon after this one went into production. We wanted to give it a short period of time before upgrading (you know the drill). File uploading has been greatly improved from what I can see, meaning the multiple steps required currently will be temporary at best. 🙂
That is great to know. Looking forward to that.
How do you remove a file that's been uploaded by mistake?

I don't believe you can delete the file out of the File Manager. You would just have to upload the correct file and remember not to use the incorrect file.
If you have it already linked in a post, just backspace out the text that you set the link to use.
Does anyone else have much trouble uploading files as I do...seems to lock up and I have to restart the upload?
I haven't had an issue uploading anything yet. But I haven't uploaded anything very large yet either.

Thanks! I had been wondering on how to do this.
