Garrett, To display an image within a forum message that image must first be uploaded to a web server. However, with the exception of the Photoshop Lounge Basement, it is much preferred for users to place a LINK to the file in question, rather than have the image automatically displayed in the Browser, where a user can decide whether or not to view There are two reasons for this: 1) For those on dial-up connections, some who pay by the minute for connection, 'embedding' the image increases the download time considerably. 2) Those who access via a Newsreader will be unable to see the content, and will be unable to view the image. To link to a PDF, you would upload the PDF to your webspace (server) and then type: <a href="http://www.yourwebservername.com/your_path_to_file/filename.pdf">Click here for link to PDF</a> (You could just type http://www.yourwebservername.com/your_path_to_file/filename.pdf but long URL's will break the forum message formatting)
