Attachment problem

Why is it that when I go to post an sttachment(picture) to a message, if it has been already attached to another posting it is not allowed?
This is a major pain!
 
Big time.

To get around it, I have been uploading to photobucket then copying the thumb code. Is a pain but works
 
Just change the file name of the photo you're trying to upload. The forum software prevents multiple postings of the same photo over and over again. That was being abused by some members so we made a change. Sorry for any inconvenience. Just rename your photo and post it.
Warning: Any abuse of this will result in deletion of the photo and an infraction issued to the poster. We recieved a number of complaints about multiple posting of the same photos so we had to take action. Thanks for understanding.

I had tried that in the past but no go. Will try a few others.
 
ok i upload a photo for a certain post,and say two weeks later i come up with some other crazy scheme to do to my bike,and want to use the same photo that ive already uploaded.how do i use that already uploaded photo again on my new post?without useing links,there kinda scary to use,id rather have the thumbnail?
 
i just upload them again after renaming them. say if first time i used bike.jpg i rename the picture
bike2.jpg that was easiest for me.
 
thanks Paul :),,,
I have been trying to post in the ezm contest thread and got discouraged by not beeing able to use pics I had uploaded in another thread
 
i think it would be more user friendly if the pics were just left out of quotes, that seemed to be the problem, everyone was quoting post with pics and all the pics were posted over and over. if it just left them out of a quote you could still

I agree, whenever I quote someone with a photo I remove the photo. Kinda ridiculous to have the same photo posted over and over especially on the same thread.

That was one of the first things that I tried, no luck. If it works for others I must still be doing something wrong!
