Attachments show as links because Literotica's attachment database is much larger than a typical vBulletin forum's attachment database and displaying every attachment puts a strain on the servers that slows down the whole site.

However, the latest version of vBulletin allows indirect image urls -- like references to the attachment database -- as arguments to the IMG tags and that is how attachments can be displayed in responses; if the origianl poster hotlinks the attachment into the body of the post, the attachment is displayed just as any other hotlinkable image and quoting the original poster, or hotlinking the attachment to the reply, will also display the attachment.

The same thing applies to avatars and profile/signature pictures:

click here: http://forum.literotica.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=29524696 and look at the tags around the url of your signature picture. The first set of tags-- the IMG tags -- hotlink the image, the second set the URL tags -- just make it a clickable link.
