Oops, i missed this question
Well, it is because I didn't want one person walking on another's thread. And if you get a line of pictures going on a forum page, the dial up users suffer greatly and cannot enjoy the posts. Over 40% of the surfers are still on dialup.
By limited the attachments to the thread starter, it helps keep the forum faster and more accessable to all.
But of course, if everyone wants it the other way, I am open to your wants and wishes.
