Can Attachments be done?

So I have a product created and someone wants to review it. How can they attach a file to thier review?

In VB, when you create a post, there's the additional options below your post new thread section that has the "Manage Attachments" where they can attach files.

I want reviewpost or vbulletin to handle the files, not just a link to an outside website such as the users site.

The reviews are for cameras and camera lenses and I want users to be able to attach sample images that they've taken with a particular camera and/or lens. I don't want them to put the images up via a link such as the img/img code since those locations may change over time and the sample images will be lost.

Am I missing something in the config?

Thanks,

Bryan

There is no attachment feature to reviews sorry.

uhg. So, there's no way to trick it into using VB's attachments by adding a little extra hack to the code?

No there is no way to do that as there is no feature to use attachments in our software.

Chuck - this would and should be a priority for new features for the software. I wanted to use RP for reviewing various items but found that I couldn't do what Amazon and many others have been doing - allowing users to attach the product manual. There are numerous reasons you'd want to have this feature and, considering you've already got PP handling so many file types, I'd think this is one you'd want to build in. Thanks for your consideration.
