right - at the bottom of the screen, there's a bit that says Upload Attachment.

Next to the filename bit, click the button labelled Choose.
This should open up a window with your computer files on it. Choose the file and say open.
Then, put something in the comment bit. Then press submit.

I just did that, and it worked. If it doesn't post again and i'll ask the more techie members...*cough*John Headstrong*cough*...

Many thanks,will try that now

I tried what you suggested but no luck so any more advice would be gratefully accepted!

I've asked the other admin if they've got any idea why you can't upload.

What browser are you using?
Are you on a PC or a Mac?
Are you trying to upload from a hosting site (ie Flickr, Photobucket etc) or your computer?

What size of photo are you trying to upload?

[Millymollymandy]

Yes you will very probably have to reduce the size of your photos because they won't be accepted if they are too large.

What exactly does it say on your screen when you say that 'it doesn't work'?

[matowakan]

Many thanks for advice,not being especially a techie will try to answer them. I am on a laptop running vista.
I am uploading from pictures saved in my pictures or my documents.
will have to check the size done that it is 2.65.
Screen says it cannot upload the file or that there is an error in doing so

Ive had trouble as well so i upload this as a test.
Would not upload and said the file is too big.

[Millymollymandy]

You need to reduce the size of your photos - I have to do this every time. Do you have any software that will do that (graphics, paint type programs)?

[matowakan]

I have taken advice and cropped the piccy with paint.I have loaded it up and it is on the site as an attachment which you have to open.
Is this the ususal way or should it just come up as others I have seen.
what a nightmare!!!!

[Millymollymandy]

I've found that they need to be really reduced to come up as photos on the screen, so sometimes for better resolution it is better to leave the photos a bit bigger and we just click to look at them.

I actually managed to post a pic of my marrow in the bath about making marrow rum but i cropped it and then using re-jpg? reduced the size too much and it looks all pickcelly, u cant win 1 extream to another.
