I'm surprised we didn't already have a wishlist item for attachments for
forum posts! In fact, when we were discussing the new TinyMCE image
button (which lets you put your Mahara images into forum posts) I
assumed there was a wishlist item for file attachments as well:
https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=6221&offset=10

Well, I'm for this. It would be a medium-small bit of work. Requires
adding the image picker to the forum post screen (can copy the code for
that from the comments screen), and we'd need to add some data
structures in the database to keep track of which files are attached to
which forum posts. For images Mike Kelly got around the need for new
database structures by using a regex to look for a link to the image, in
the body of the forum post.
