If I try to upload a photo that I have previously used on another thread I get an error message that says that photo has already been used and where it has been used. How do I use that photo again in a new post?

Peter,
You can link/show your pictures already posted by adding the picture using the "Insert Image" button (little yellow one with the mountain in it):

Go to the original picture, click on the picture to get the full size version, right click, copy the URL, and then insert that URL in the new thread using the "Image" button.

I will be here if you have trouble:)

I came here looking for an answer to this same question. This looks like a functional workaround, but still isn't the same. Is there is a way to repost an image that doesn't force it to load inline and full size? It just seems like a waste of bandwidth when the board is already setup for thumbnailing images, and has already generated the thumbnail.

Testing Aaron's old suggestion of using tag below
[attach]98724

Doesn't seem to work the way he said =P

Can post inline like Dewey suggested:
http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=98724&d=1224143927
but that leaves us with a giant image inline.

Why does the board act like this?

Sorry guys... that's the only way I know how to do it.:(

Dewey, can't you just rename the picture and then repost it? I don't recall ever doing it but I think the name is the identifier of the picture.

I go to the existing post/picture, right click and copy the URL as described. I then highlight a word in my post/reply and use the "Insert Link" feature (the little globe with the chain links on it) to attach the picture's URL to some related text in the post.

For example here's the picture (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=98724&d=1224143927)from Scott's post.

Got o UserCP > Attachments
Click Show Thumbnails
Highlight and copy the thumbnail of the picture you want

http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=91083&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1213988820 (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=91083&d=1213988820)

and paste it into the message you are composing. No image tag required.
