What happened to "attachments"?
I just went to post a new thread in Games. The message required that I put an attachment on the message (a picture dumped into a Word doc), else nobody would believe what the message said. But when I went to add the attachment, I found that attachments are no longer part of the message structure. When did this happen and was it an oversight in your redo of the system yesterday, or on purpose?

Attachments is one of three major bugs we're still working to fix. Thanks for your patience!

Shh, don't tell anyone, but I think I might have just fixed them.

That's a web hosted image, not an attachment.

There is a thumbnail attachment at the bottom.

It's not possible to us to general a preview of BMP images -- only GIF and JPEG.

Dan's working on making them show up by preference rather than all thumbnail... now that you can upload them at all!

I was referring to the latter. A click on it expands it. What else?
