Can't Upload A Pic


I'm getting an "upload failed" every time I go to upload a pic. It shows the image on my profile, but doesn't show up when I post. Anyone else experience this issue?

Re: Can't Upload A Pic


Tom, I have had problems loading pics for what seems like forever. Then someone on here advised me to upload to Photobucket.com first, then load to here. Works like a charm for me.

Good Luck
Dave

Just tried that and it didn't work . Maybe I'm grabbing the wrong URL?

You may be beyond the posting size limits allowed. I always post the pic on a photo hosting site just like david suggests. It comes out much better.

Don't you need something like 15 post before you can post an attachment?

Re: Can't Upload A Pic


I personally never use any upload features that any forums have. I have always used either photobucket or http://tinypic.com/ to post images. And also as others have stated you probably tried to post an image before you had 15 posts.

That's the thing about being on super double top-secret probation; no one's allowed to tell you that you're on it, let alone why.

Nah, he's yankin' yer chain.
