[Moodle] Enabling students to upload graphics into forums

[Stephen Digby]

Yes... Links and image handling are the worst aspects of moodle.
In wiki's the link process provided by the HTML editor won't work at all as you have to use the [text|link] format a la wikipedia.
If you send a link direct to alocal file e.g. <a href "file///h:/fred.doc etc etc, the moodle interpreter alters it to http://h/fred
etc etc so that it doesn't find the folder or file.

Things will get better as moodle develops developer support ....

I've set up the Footy tipping forum as a social class and to keep it light and fun want to enable students to upload pictures in
their posts. 
When they attempt this they see a dialog like this which seems more hindrance than help.
