Posting Diagrams Multiple Times: Is it Possible?

In summary, the speaker is seeking advice on how to repost diagrams related to the twin paradox on a forum without violating rules or causing inconvenience. They have tried posting a link and attaching the file using a previous reference, but neither method seems to work. They wonder if there is a way to upload the file once and use it in multiple posts. Another person suggests including the diagrams as images, which the speaker agrees would work for their purpose.

I've got a few diagrams (on the twin paradox), that I'd like to repost occasionally. It seems that if I just post a link, people are less likely to look at them.

PF, however, complains that I've already uploaded the file. I can tweak it a bit, and re-upload it, but that seems anti-social (as in trying to get around the rules), as well as being annoying to do.

Finding the attach point reference from a previous post and putting that into the attachment list doesn't seem to work either, at least not the way I tried to do it.

I.e. I can post a link in the forums, like https://www.physicsforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37080&stc=1&d=1310342900

or even

https://www.physicsforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37080&stc=1&d=1310342900"

But I can't attach it, at least not with that reference using "upload file from URL".

Is there some trick I'm missing on how to upload something once, and have it referred to and displayed in multiple posts? Or isn't it technically possible.

I just included it as an image. Would that work for what you have in mind?

Exactly what I wanted to do - thanks!
