Attachments are now disabled. They consume huge amounts of disk space and slow things down.   If you wish to post an image, it's trivial to do so via imgur and other services. They let you post huge images, often without any (reasonable) size limits

For example:

1. Go to https://imgur.com
2. Click the New Post button
3. Paste your image into your browser window
4. Right click on the image URL
5. Paste the image URL into the message you are posting on the HFU, in between IMG tags.
6. You're done!

imgur appears to have changed things since Chris wrote this. The flow is slightly different now so I'm going to update below:

• https://imgur.com
• Click on green "New post" button.
• Either drag and drop an image or upload it from your computer as shown.
• With it uploaded to imgur.com, mouse over the image to the three dots in the upper right corner. Click on that area, you will see an option named "get share options".
• You will see an option called "BBC Code (Forums)". Click on the green "Copy Link" button to the right of it.
• Go back to your HF Undergeround post. Paste the code you just copied from imgur straight into your post. No need to use the "insert image" or "insert hyperlink" buttons because they are already inserted for you.
• Complete.
