So i've been working on something for the ideas and suggestions forum. i wrote it up in word, drew some stuff in paint, and now i want to post it. Honestly its not completely finished, but i have other things in my life that are eating my time, i'd rather get it out there than leave it to rot.

So how do i get stuff attached? i see the attachment system, but i cant get it to work properly. also, the box and buttons are freakishly small on my screen, can't really see what im clicking in the first place. I am using the latest firefox for my browser.

    When replying to my message you'll see the below box says Attachments. There will be a red x that says site message, just click the x. You should be able to see the upload buttons now. Keep in mind the maximum allowed is only 30kb.

    Better idea: Upload the picture to a file/image hosting site (I like either imgur.com or dropbox.com) then post the link or embedded picture in your post.

    This way you don't have to worry about any forum limitations/weirdness.
