That is not enabled. Same as in the previous software.it had to do with attaching photos to a direct message. Seth said there was an icon, bottom left of the reply. I posted a screenshot showing that there was no icon, bottom left.
Ok, what is the reasoning for having it disabled?That is not enabled. Same as in the previous software.

My recollection is that the original thought process way back when was that people come to the forum to share, learn, teach, and discuss. Sharing of images in public (once that ability was introduced) was to be part of all that. The sharing of images privately could, and can still, be accomplished in numerous ways outside of the forum. Additionally, whereas the admins and moderators don't have permissions to read or moderate what is said in the private messages, having the ability to attach images of any type of content is just another risk to the friendly, open, sharing culture that has enabled this forum to survive when so many others similar have disappeared.Ok, what is the reasoning for having it disabled?

Thanks for the comment.@mino , although Seth and I can't make any of the suggestions happen that you wrote due to the differences between mod vs admin I do want to understand you you were writing about in your request. There are many ways of reading the forum and here is what I did on the other version as well as this one:
In the old version, on the home page I would scroll down to the bottom of the page and there would be the lists on new posts. Everything including classifieds were there. I have no remembrances if I checked a box somewhere to not exclude anything.
On this version I click on What's New and then I am presented with the all the new posts.
Is that what you you saw and are also now seeing?Peter
It is possible to exclude a forum (node in XenForo talk) from the new posts view. Unfortunately, this must be done in the AdminCP and will affect all members. This is not a change I would appreciate.I am not sure if Xenforo even supports such configuration, so really a techie needs to look if even feasible ..
Thanks for the info, some good news then.It is possible to exclude a forum (node in XenForo talk) from the new posts view. Unfortunately, this must be done in the AdminCP and will affect all members. This is not a change I would appreciate.
