[wp-hackers] Allow users to upload their own images - hook to use?

[Gregory Lancaster]

oh my god. thank you j.d.  I am [obviously] still learning PHP and I was
under the impression I was required to have the $_POST[] form handler.  I
literally spend hours fumble fuc**** around with this.  Well I feel like a
complete idiot.  Thank you so much for your help.
