As crazy as it may seem this issue plagued me for a day and half. Now I am kicking myself. I saw many other threads where this was unanswered so I thought I would post what I found.

I am running FireBoard 1.0.4 Stable and 1.1 of CB on a Joomla 1.5 fresh install.

I was having trouble attaching images and files to posts in the forum. I thought it was my fbfiles permissions but that was not the issue at all.

What was happening is that I would attach an imgae and hit submit, the thread would show up with a redX image. You could right click and see the path of the image going to fbfiles/images/imagename.jpg but nothing would show up and when used my ftp program to look in the folder the image was not there.

What was wrong is that there is another step in the process....IN ORDER FOR THE UPLOADER TO FINISH UPLOADING THE IMAGE, YOU MUST CLICK THE (IMG) BUTTON that is to the RIGHT OF the BROWSE BUTTON.

This will put a simple tag in your textbox as a place holder.....there is not url or anything else, its just . NOW when you submit your thread, the image wil be uploaded into the fbfiles directory and will display in the thread.

This extra step is not a standard practice and is why I missed it, and I am sure others have missed it as well because they can't attach images or get their images to appear.

Its not the permissions of the folder, you just need to make sure that you click that button after you have browsed and found the image your going to upload. Everything should work fine. At least it did for me.

Anyways I hope that helps someone who might be struggling with the problem.
