It's never been possible under the new forums for non-admin staff to post attachments. However, I believe it's still possible on the Blogs page unless they've changed it.

Main reason I believe is space-related, as it would require a lot of space to host any uploaded files.

The accepted work-around for not being able to post attachments to posts in the forum is to post the item you want to attach in a hosting site (Dropbox is one), and then post a link to the dropbox item. The reasoning behind not allowing attachments is that this prevents someone from attaching malware to a forum post, that then affects other people's computers.
