What are you trying to attach, only certain types of files are allowed?
eg .jpg .png or .gif

Click the "Browse" button next to the "New Attachment" box below your post
Select your file with your file selector that pops up
Click OK on your file selector
Click "Add Attachment" button
Then click Post Reply button

Might be something to do with this stated above the attachment window?:

You are currently using N/A of your allocated attachment usage (Unlimited) [View My Attachments]

Maybe I don't have the user rights to be able to upload???

The same happened to me so I had to use a third party host.

I'm unable to add attachments too. TheWatcher's asked the forum admin to have a look into this problem.

"You are currently using N/A of your allocated attachment usage (Unlimited) [View My Attachments]" - this just means that you've not uploaded any attachments to date and isn't indicative of the problem. My attachment window states "You are currently using 1.44 MB of your allocated attachment usage (Unlimited) [View My Attachments]", yet I still can't upload.


EDIT : This issue has now been fixed. Attachments can be uploaded as per normal

@blueboy
its much easyer if you use a 3rd party host like imagebam or shack.
just sign up for a free account and away you go. just follow the on screen instructions. copy the links for thumbs and add them to your post.
that way you dont get huge pix slowing down the forum.

Getting message saying my video is not supported by this forum so cannot post.

You can't upload a video as an attachment, you'll need to use a host for it.
There are lots of free sites that you can use, depending on what it is you want to upload will determine which is best.

wont bother , never used them or not sure how, thanks
