 * for me the pictures are getting attached pretty well but when I try to open the
   images it gives the message as :
    Error 404 – Not Found
 * Sorry, the page that you are looking for does not exist.
    I have permalinks to:/%
   monthnum%/%category%/%postname%/ how can I solve this issue. I have set attachments
   to open up in a page. if the page is accessed via the attachment id it’s accessible
   but from direct attach link it’s not opening up 🙁
 * when I set attachment to open up via file in attachment it shows up but when 
   set to open up in page it says this 404 error message

 * no haven’t tried as there are more than 500 posts so can’t change it now as it
   will screw up, my blog links are already in various sites and forums as advertisements
   and direct links.
    I have tried to check out this way: uploaded file made it 
   as open up in a page, took the code for this and posted in a html page and when
   I checked it, it opens up well with the thumbnail link to the full image link,
   but the same link doesn’t open up in blog, giving 404 error message

 * ATM this is a bug of WordPress, you can use:
    `?attachment_id=(int)` You can 
   use the attribute rel from the form: `rel='attachment wp-att-(int)'`
 * Hope will be useful.
