You're welcome.

You don't need to wrap quotes in step 4. Just leave the attachment showing at the end of the post and add BB code to attachment URL in text box. However, your way does eliminate the duplication of image in post and image in attachment. I never thought of that option. The quote box around the image does look nice.

In some forums, if the attachment isn't used at the end of the post, the link to the attachment is no longer active. So, it's best to do it like tripelo does, using just the BB code for the URL and leaving the attachment in place. As a bonus, you get an image counter by the attachment link that tells you how many times the image was shown, and anyone can download your image just by clicking on the attachment link.

The only reason I mentioned quote is to see what another person has done in his text box so that his attachment would show in post. Just click on the Quote button at the lower right corner of his post. This is what tripelo's text box would look like:
