I'm guessing Alex has disabled this function. He may have concerns over folks uploading tons of images into the database, which will bog down the site dramatically. That's one of the problems with vBulletin's attachment feature. Any posted attachments go into the same database as the posts. Obviously a large jpg is way more space/bandwidth hungry than a few lines of text, which means the database would grow to a huge size very rapidly, making everything else very slow. Diskspace and bandwidth particularly are at a premium. You can post 1000's of messages in the space taken up by a few hi res images.

But it may be something else entirely
