Upload photos

I have three jpg files on my desktop that are under 16.0kb that I cannot upload in the manage attachments. I have tried to upload it using IE 9 and Firefox and get an "Upload of file failed" message each time. I have also tried converting them to bmp and gif and those don't work either.

Re: Upload photos

Images have to be uploaded to an image hosting site, such as Flickr, photobucket, Picasa, etc. Can't post direct from a local drive.
I use Flickr.
Once your pic is on the hosting site, you can right-click on it and "copy image url" and then paste it here, using the little toolbar icon above that looks like mountains and a ufo against a yellow sky.

Vin there is a "Manage Attachments" section below the submit reply button that includes this:

"Upload File from your Computer"

All of my BBQ pics in the "All night smoke" thread I have ever posted have been uploaded right from my own hard drive. Until now that is as it will not work.

Jon, will this be fixed or will we need to use photobucket, etc?
