It would be very useful to be able to do so.

like with this picture that I wanted to attach as an answer to a problem, it is rather difficult to describe such an answer in words...

I find it really annoying that we are not able to post attachments in the Brain Teaser forum. Today I wanted to use the [ img ] ... [ / img ] method to post an image and found out that that also does not work there.

Is there a reason why this is not allowed in the Brain Teasers forum?

From what i know of,"[img]" tags are allowed only in the General Discussion subforum,as for attachments,lemme take a look.

If you have a picture, you could upload it to some image hosting site like Image Shack, and throw in the link.

Just attach the image. We don't allow inline images.

Maybe then and in most of the forums - but.
When you get a chance could you check the Thumbnail function in the brain teaser forum.
The attachments load OK, but users only see the file name not the thumbnail and clicking on it brings up an error (permissions). This only while logged in.

However logging out and returning to the post - the thumnails then show and clicking it brings up the full image as it should and as it does in other PF forums while still logged in.

I'm guessing this is not how you intend for this to work in brain teasers.

My guess is that the newly constructed forums allow the "[img]" tag.
...just an observation.

...just an observation.NO even simpler than that
Not an "inline" issue
Just a simple "jpg" attachment as in
http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=104877

It loads up simple and easy no problem.
USERS can even see the Thumbnail & click to pull up a full size version.
BUT ONLY if they are loged out and view as a non-user

if logged in they get errors.
you you can see the frustration in the posts.
But this problem viewing seems to be limited to just the brain teaser area, I'm sure I've seen the attachments work OK in other areas of PF.
