Is it possible to attach images to comments?
I have a forum I'm setting up using the built-in forum module. I have added a CCK image field to forum posts, but this only allows images on the INITIAL post in a thread.
Basically I would like someone to be able to say "look at my picture" and then someone could reply to that post (I assume in a comment) and say "Oh yeah, well look at this picture". So a thread might be "Your Favorite Vacation Pictures" and 50 people could each post a JPEG.
Does anybody know...
1. If you can add a CCK field to a comment? (this is my preference, since I'm doing this for the initial forum post and the settings would match)
2. If advanced forum allows for this?
3. A good way to make this happen that I haven't thought of?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Comment Upload
Without resorting to "comments as nodes" (which may have performance and compatibility implications to consider, you'd need to investigate), no you cannot add a CCK field to comments. The solution I would recommend (though yes this does make the UI a bit different unless you use attachments as well for the node) is http://drupal.org/project/comment_upload
I'd recommend augmenting it also with http://drupal.org/project/uploadpath to keep your files directory from getting out of hand.
Hope this helps.

That worked just fine, although it was tricky to find all of the options to administer. There's a lot more to do with this site, and a lot more to learn, but I'm just attacking it one step at a time.
