thx bro...
coming back to the attachments... when'll want to post something new after writing the post instead od clicking 'post quick reply' use the other one - 'go advanced'...
later on under the box where you type all the stuff in 'additional options' table... there should ba a button 'manage attachments'... click it...
then after writing the message and uploading 3 or less attachments just submit the reply... the first attachment will show up automatically as the default thumbnail next to you thred in the forum menu...

hope that helps...
now get back to work!!

hehe...
