We have turned on a feature that requires that at least 1 attachment be made to the first post in a thread when posted in this forum.

You can still link to your works from your own hosting, embedding the images throughout.

However, we just ask that you attach 1 single image minimum to the first post in the thread.

The first image you upload will show as a thumbnail when browsing the thread list on the forums.

If you want to update your "featured image" that shows in the thread list - just delete all attachments, and reupload a new one, first one being the one you want shown.

This allows folks to see what they are clicking on from the forum list, and ensures that if your personal image hosting account gets closed or temp suspended, we have at least a small reference to what you were talking about.

Thanks!
