Forum:Can't upload

Hi admins! I'm a noob, but I have searched all over for any articles to do with images or uploading before posting this. So, I am hoping you can help me.

I thought I'd start out by browsing the bounty hunter articles, and I decided to upload an image of Zutton (it's requested in his article). I clicked on the upload button, but I am getting the following error:

"The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups Sysops, staff, Janitors, Helpers."

Are new users not allowed to upload images? Or is there something else I've overlooked? Thanks!
