Because it's a way easier sometimes to use this function rather than that of inserting via link which I don't know how it works if I want to place an exact picture I want. Will it be possible?
It was a test of a "copy image" tool of a context menu (from e-net). Too bad it's impossible from computer.
WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?
Also, we're lucky we can insert images at all here, and you want the moon.

Am I? Didn't know, sorry.

"We"? "We" who?
you want the moon.
Are you serious? The name of the forum is "Feature requests and enhancements", right?
"Also", it's indeed strange to find such common tool absent.
ALL CAPS = SHOUTING ON THE INTERNET
"We" as in "everyone but you," I guess.
Most common tools are absent here, so yes I'm serious.
"We" as in "everyone but you" , I guess
Oh, you guess? Hm, got it. It could be difficult to conduct a statistic research, though.

...so it's time for software revision I think. Good luck with that!
What? I'm not the one requesting an update.
Okay kids....calm down.
Mavericks, what type of attachments are you wanting to post?
Star Wars Episode XXX: Erica Strikes Back
If you want Nice, go to France
Files with .jpeg tag (pics and the like, to put it simply).
I meant " to attach from the computer"
You can't do that. Upload to an image site and then link to it.
And quit complainin' because it's a lot of work to build a website from scratch and we can't have it all.

There are a lot of things I'd do if ot.com were a full-time occupation, but running a community is very difficult to turn into a profitable venture unless you have millions of page views per month. And even then, it's tough to find sponsors when a lot of your content exists within a legal grey area. I'm sure those of you who've been around for a while have noticed that the banner ads are gone, and what little income this site was generating went away with them.
I share everyone's pain. As a creative professional, it's normal for me to hate anything I design or build within a week of launching it. That just comes with the territory :) So you can imagine how I feel about forum software I designed and built 7 years ago. It's embarrassing, frankly. It's ugly, outdated, not mobile friendly, and hard to maintain.
I've been weighing my options as far as next steps, and none of them are quick or easy. Migrating to new software would be extremely painful and complicated. The software I've been working on (based on Node.js) is progressing slowly, but I have no timeframe for completion. Right now, I'm thinking the best approach is to introduce something barebones (basic post/reply functionality) and then build it up from there. The current software's framework has made incremental improvement difficult, but the modern framework I'm building should make it much easier to add functionality over time and improve performance substantially.
We'll see. This is definitely the year for a major change, whatever form it takes. This place has been languishing for too long. With the new trilogy coming, I'd like ot.com to be a destination for Star Wars fans, so it's time to figure something out and get it done.

How about donations? I'd gladly contribute a bit of scratch.

I'm hesitant to accept donations because I run this site under a registered business entity (LLC), so I report the income and get tax deductions for hosting and other expenses. I don't know what the implications would be.

I can accept them in your place. ;-)
I think the answer to the OP is that attaching files to the site would mean that Jay would be hosting those files on his server, which would quickly get out of hand and fill up whatever space he's allotted. That's the reason why you have to find pictures already on sites or upload them to a hosting service.
