Either way I think if you finish the post, post it, tell me which one it is I can then attach the pics to it then you can re-edit to put the pics in the right place within.

Mark, The problem appears to be that if a post is prepared complete with uploaded photos and then is saved as a draft on the forum, all the photos are lost.
This could well be a PHP feature as exactly the same happens on UKW.
As Andy has found, there is a warning message presented before agree to saving as draft but I feel this is an undesirable outcome but we might be stuck with it.
Once you have established if there is or is not a fix, I can update the instructions appropriately.

Yep I fully understand the issue Bob, it's just that Roger mentioned saving it to Wordpad, which makes me think he didn't actually save it as a Draft but assumed that copying the forum post text, along with attachment references, out to Wordpad, would be enough to keep the pics intact.
That's what I'm trying to understand, whether there is an existing thread to attach the orphaned pics to or whether he has saved it all out to Wordpad and is yet to post the actual new thread.
Either way I don't think it matters as I can attach the orphaned pics to any thread I want by adding in the last few digits in the thread URL including the last 'p'.
And in terms of is there 'a fix', nope, this appears to be expected behaviour however undesirable.
