An '''attachment''' is a file or image attributed to a [[post]]. Commonly, attachments are used when the file or image is directly related to the post and the user has no way to put the file online elsewhere. Each post can have multiple attachments, as defined by the [[Administrator]].
Attachments are documents or images attributed to a post. Attachments are stored as files within the [[forum]] website. They give [[member]]s a place to store important files for as long as they are needed.
