We cannot do attachments here with the forum email system. We have to exchange private email addresses to send any attachments.

If you are wanting to share reports there is a way to post them here on the forum if you want to do that.

In the private message area, you can either exchange email addresses to send files, or if you have an account for a cloud service such as Dropbox, you can put the file there and give the person a download link in your PM. I do that now for providing Intellipap files to folks who ask.

On the main forum, to put a file like a copy of your therapy report, you first need to save the report as an image file. Then put the image onto a photo site like Photobucket, Picasa, or Flickr where you can then grab the image location URL. Past the URL in the forum reply edit box, highlight it and then click IMG button above the edit box. Once you are done, click Preview to be sure it worked properly, then Submit to publish.
Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.

You've got to upload the file to a place like photobucket or www tinypic com . Once you've done the upload, they'll have converted the file to an 'img' code for forums like this. The code will be look something like [img]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/img] and you want to paste that whole img code into your reply. Before you submit the reply, do a 'preview' just to make sure it worked ok and that you can see the file image in the forum. I use tinypic and it works great.
Thinking of quitting CPAP?

No problem, here's the first thing to do when you quit:


Advanced funeral planning. When you give up CPAP, you'll probably need it.
