Attaching a File to Your Post:
You can attach word processor documents (.doc, .wpd, .rtf, .txt file-types ONLY) and image files to your posts. Below the region where you type your message for a post, there is a field for attaching files.

Figure 1: Attaching a File
Click on the Browse button, navigate to your file on your computer, and select it. This will enter the file's location into the text box. When done, click on the Submit button to send your post with your attached file. When you are done, you will be taken back to the thread.

Viewing or Downloading an Attached File:
In a post with an attached file, click on the attachment's name to open it directly, as shown below.

Figure 2: How to view an attached file
The attachment will now open in your web browser's window. To return to the post, click the "back" button from your web browser.

If you'd like to download the file instead, right-click the attachment name and select Save Target As (it may also say Save Link As, depending on your browser), as shown below.

Figure 3: How to save an attached file
The Save As window will pop up. Navigate to a location on your computer where you would like to save the attached file and click the Save button.
