    This is really too much. Why can't I post images in bbPress? I am about ready to give up and go back to pphpBB, even though I don't like it. Instructions said to upload plugin to my-plugins directory, which doesn't exist. I created it, but it didn't work anyway, backticks or no backticks. Why should we need a plugin just to post an image?

  2. You need a plugin to post images because bbpress out of the box is very lightweight. Many forums don't want or need images, so that functionality comes in the form of a plugin. For example, the largest bbPress installation ( http://wordpress.org/support/ ) doesn't allow images.

    If you post a link to your forum and possibly a little better description of what you are doing, what happens, and what you expected to happen, maybe someone can help you.

    I can confirm the AllowImages PlugIn does work.

    What I'm missing from your report above is the activation of the PlugIn that is required to make it ... well ... active. To do so, you will have to navigate to admin section, select the right-most menu in the bar and activate the PlugIn there.

    I think this process is described in the docs very well already.

    Sorry for the whining, people. I was tired & it was late. It is possible I forgot to, um, activate the plugin.
