I cannot get a single image to upload to my post. I have done it once before with no problem, but it won't work again. The sad part is that I am a computer geek... nerd... I mean enthusiast. Yeah, that's it. Enthusiast. LOL

I've made sure the pic is small enough. < 102400 bytes file size.

I know where it is.

It is of the correct file type.

When I browse and attach the file, it doesn't show up in the preview. If I post it anyway, in hopes that it is there, it doesn't show up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried attaching one to this.... nothing!

That's a beauty you're standing next to. It looks great! Where is Georgetown? I'm in the DFW area. Will keep an eye out for you as I roam around Texas.

Everyone has a slightlty different way of explaining how to load photos. Maybe if you try a different set of "instructions" it may help. Try this thread. My 5/5/03 post has "Attaching Photos to a post or thread...in 4 easy steps", it might help.

Good luck!

Thanks. I read all of those posts and instructions first. This has really got me stumped, as I know it is so simple. I even tried it through Netscape to see if that would make a difference. Same problem.

Maybe I should take a break and go sit out in the AS to clear my head... then try again.

thanks for the complement Tin Hut, Georgetown is on 1-35 about 35 miles north of Austin. Maybe this spring or summer we Texans can organize a vintage outing.

Sometimes it is a good thing if you can't attach a pix like I did last night that was so wrong

I too am a 'computer pro' and it took me about six tries to get my misinformation posted. I forgot to go down to the bottom and use the attach file dialog.

I was using the IMG button at the top.

great web site, and I love the clean white and stainless look of your new interior. Great job. Mike

I too had problems attaching pics because they were too big a file. I got a message that indicated they need to be 10kb or less. So I resized and voila! it worked.

Try to post a 62' A/S

Sneakinup · 11-10-2003, 01:37 PM

Last try...

It only works if I use the IMG vB Code and link it to a pic on a web page. The Attach File--Browse method just won't work! I've exhausted what little mental capacity I have left!!!!

In your message I saw a little blue icon with a question mark symbol. So I dragged and dropped it on my Mac Desktop. From there I could double-click and see the picture in the Preview application. I'll give it a try here. First I'll put the file back up that I downloaded and secondly I'll try your file after "laundering" it through iPhoto.

This is the original downloaded post by Sneakinup:

Sneakinup,

I think your file is good. What steps I took was simply to click on the "Choose File" button, then select the file (The chosen name shows up next to the Chose File button) and then "Submit Reply". I did not select "Preview Reply". Preview Reply does not seem to work when I attach a picture.

Davydd · 11-10-2003, 07:25 PM

After I reposted Sneakinup's file, the little blue icon I first saw in Sneakinup's message turned into his picture.

Sneakinup · 11-10-2003, 07:25 PM

Thanks for trying it out. I saved the file you laundered, and tried to attach it... still no go.

I'm thinking that there is some setting that is keeping my system from uploading properly. I haven't found it yet.

I use Corel Photo Paint to doctor up my photos, so I know they are within the "legal limits."
