Not allowed to post images?

[MNMade]

Hi guys, was trying to post some pics of my new bike in one of the specific forums and at the bottom left side in the box it reads, " You MAY NOT post attachments."

Why am I not allowed? Seems odd.

No one is, except for certain limited circumstances like GPX tracks. It's a space saving thing on the servers, which are overworked. You need to host the pics somewhere else (Photobucket, Smugmug, Picasa) and then post links to them. There's a tutorial.

Thanks for the answer. Yeah I know I have to host 'em elsewhere. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that I didn't have permission to post them. But it seems to now given me it...I'm guessing new accounts must be active for a time frame before allowed to do so.
