Dear Forum Users,

As it seems some people have had trouble lately figuring out how to attach items to their posts, I am offering this quick overview.

If you ever have trouble attaching an item, feel free to e-mail me at moderator@lean.org for assistance.

When composing a message, click on the "Attach Files(s)" box at the bottom of the composing window. That will open an additional smaller window just for attachng the file.

Then you have to upload the file to your account: Click on the "Browse" button to browse for the file you want to attach (this opens another window, but it should be a familiar process). Select the file and hit "open" to select the file you want to attach. Once the file is selected, you still have to hit "Upload File" button in upper-right corner of the attach file window.

After you have uploaded the file to your account, the file should appear in the middle of the attach file window under the list of all files you have uploaded to your account. You still need to actually attach it to the message though.

To attach the file to your specific message, select the file name from the area in the middle of the window called "File Listing for [username]". Then hit the "Attach File" link in the botttom right hand corner of the window - that attaches your file to your post.

After that, the extra attach file window should close and you should be back to composing window.

Regards,
Jane
