Hi Janine, quickly rewrite forums. Here is the step by step guide:

1) Take /contacts/www/files.tcl and move it to forums
2) Change files.tcl so it associates the uploaded file with the message_id (e.g. using the parent_id, but I have a slight suspicion that a data link is better, as a message_id can have multiple children)
3) Change the message view to include in the display all uploaded files either using the parent_id or the data link.
4) Change the upload functionality from attachments to files.tcl
5) Pray someone else writes an upgrade
6) Wait for the file-attachment widget
