You can't add photos to Lookup boards.

Yes - thanks - pity...

The software in that case shouldn't suggest I can...

In fact I've found you can link to pictures on the Internet - check out this subsequent posting so I've resolved the situation and remain mystified as to the restriction...

The restriction is to prevent people who haven't read the Rootschat rules properly and don't realise they mustn't post copyright material to the website - which is more likely to happen on look-up boards.  It isn't an infallible barrier but we feel it helps those who might accidentally transgress.

Kind regards, Arranroots

But surely if they find they can't post in that particular forum they'll just upload to somewhere like Photobucket and link to there as I did.

If you really want to stop people posting copyright material you'll have to prevent them linking to images...

[Arranroots]

As I say, the solution isn't infallible.  It is meant as an elegant reminder which gives people pause for thought rather than an obstacle to be surmounted by the stubbornly persistent!

OK - I don't want to start an argument here but it's hardly an "elegant reminder" - it looks much more like broken software when encountered for the first time. If it was "elegant" it wouldn't say "Attach a photograph or image..."
