Screenshot Question

I was having a hard time trying to find a screenshot policy for these forums so Im posting my questions about it here. Recently I tried to post a screenshot as a reply to "What did you fly today" topic in the screenshot forum. I dragged my screenshot in and wrote a few lines under it explaining what it was about etc...but when I tried to post it kept telling me your post is too short. However, when I posted the exact same content as a NEW TOPIC in the screenshot forum it posted without any issue. Any help/explanation so I know how to do things correct would be appreciated.

I dragged the image from my open folder into the browser and I was also surprised that worked. It started showing full size in the reply area where you type text just like Im doing right now. Both times it told me my post is too short. I was using Windows 7 & Firefox. Then, I said oh heck with it and tried to start a new topic but I think when I did the new topic I might have done the attach method instead of the drag method. Its not a big deal certainly not worth losing sleep over but I don't post screenshots often so I thought Im doing something wrong. Maybe I'll post a few more as time goes on and get the hang of it.

I dont think its actually attaching...

 

.. confirmed. the screenshot gets "uploaded" too quickly. I just dragged-and-dropped a 12 Mb JPEG - it instantly appeared, Impossible. I submitted - dialog showed up instantly as well.

 

It would "appear" to me that the image is there, but I'm pretty sure that the forum board cant see it/doent see it/sees something like a locall URL like file:///mydrive./some/fie/on/my/desktop.jpg . which, of course, only I could see. (you guys cant see my desktop, eh?)
