To make URLs convert to live links or post file attachments, remember to include your keyword, the # mark, and your password in the Name box. Otherwise, these features don't work automagically.We do not use cookies to keep track of you or your computer, so that's why it is necessary to use the above tripcode method to log in on any occasion when you want to use the extra features.
During the most recent board cleanup, it finally dawned on me that some folks were having trouble posting pictures because they were forgetting to use their tripcode when writing their message. Others forgot to use it when posting links, which otherwise would have been displayed in clickable form. It's also possible that one or two may have misspelled their password, which currently has the same effect as not using one at all. I may be able to code the software to be more aware of the possibility of misspellings, but if you neglect to use the tripcode at all, there's no workaround for that.
Also bear in mind the file size limits. If you try to send an oversize file to the board, it simply gets dropped. There's currently no workaround for that, either, though when I finally implement changes to permit editing of posts by Authenticated Authors, that will probably give you a second chance to attach a reduced-size version.
