Is there a way to attach an image using just code? Such as:

[attach=C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Desktop\Screenshot.png]

If there isn't can it be created?

There isn't right now (That I know of)

Why would you want to anyway? You would have to type the directory Using the browse dialog is easier.

Because I use the quick reply box always, unless I need to attach a file. This way I wouldn't need to go to the reply form for anything.

There should be an extra button that says "Post with attatchment" which triggers a dialouge box

That would probably be better.

No, it's not possible. You need an actual form field (<input type="file">) to get a file from a user's hard drive, and the user must choose the file with that. Any other method could be a major security risk.

Then could you possibly create a form at the bottom of the quick reply box for us geeks?

Btw I like ur sig.

But then nobody would use the regular reply anymore, and the quick reply would be less quick/simple.

I dunno... maybe you should make a poll.

I think I will....

An "Attachments" field has been requested for the quick reply box a few times now, but WDZ is right, the ordinary reply page would be completely redundant if it was added.

I can't decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing though.  I suppose it would save a little bandwidth if nobody needed to use the ordinary reply page anymore, but I also suppose that the saving would be minimal and hardly noticed, making such a change a little...pointless.

Personally, I don't see any reason to change things.
