You can't upload an actual document, image, or file to the forum specifically. You can copy and paste text. You can link to the file, document, image, etc. but it first needs to be uploaded/stored on the internet(somesite/yoursite) first.
If you want to link to a document or file first upload it somewhere like:
yoursite.com/documents/document1.doc
Then in the forum you can create a link to it like
Download the document1.doc now
Highlight that text with your mouse and click on the "Insert/Edit Link" (looks like a chain link) 2 icons to the left of the anchor.
Then when the new window opens you enter
Link url: http://www.yoursite.com/documents/document1.doc
save changes.
This creates a link. When people click on "Download the document.doc now" They can either go to it or right click save as to there local computer.
For an image you can insert this into the forum, but it first needs to be uploaded somewhere again to something like:
yoursite.com/images/image1.jpg
Then click on the tree looking icon just to the right of the anchor. Enter:
image url: http://www.yoursite.com/image/image1.jpg
save changes.
Then you can use tinymce editor to align it center or whatever else you want.
In some of the popup windows you can also enter a description, title, etc.
If you have a good understanding of html. You can use the html button in the editor to enter the same info using html instead such as <a href=" http://www.mysite.com/documents/document1.doc " title=" document1 ">Download the document1.doc now</a>
Images would be <img src=" yoursite.com/image/image1.jpg " alt=" image1 ">
(note I did put spaces (=" )yoursite to get this text to display right in the forum without reading as html. You would really have no space between the quotation mark and yoursite.com, etc.
At any rate the file, picture, document, etc. has to reside somewhere. Something like an image can be one you uploaded with your dolphin image gallery. Just link to the actual location of the file.
Hope that helps a little and I didn't ramble on too much.
