    Photo Gripe

    I"m fed up with trying to post pictures on this forum. Up until now, every attempt I"ve made to upload a jpeg photo file winds up giving me an upload error of some sort or another. I then wind up using tedious other avenues, which includes bothering other people who could probably do better things with their time.
    Am I the only person who has this trouble?
    I"ve been working with a PC, and iMac, and I"m always running into dead ends that frustrate me no matter what operating system I use.
    I"m not the most adept with a computer, but following the simple instructions given is not working out.
    Would someone please post detailed instructions that might help?
    I"d be happy to share the latest in the line of TLC guns with you, but if this keeps up, I"m going over to pbn!
    Sorry

    use jayloo, right click, then properties, copy the "formatted for forums" or whatever its called, then use the [img] tags around that link

    they stopped image hosting to save bandwith, because more bandwidth= more $$$


    /imageshack.us works too
    //dont go to PBN!!!

        1. goto www.imageshack.us
        2. click browse button
        3. find pic to host and click open
        4. select options, I.E. resize to 640 x 480 for message boards
        5. click host it
        6. use very bottom url for linking to image.

                      For everybody supporting photobucket, give imageshack a shot. You don't HAVE to make an account in order to upload stuff, but it's very easy to maintain one as well to keep all your images together. Imageshack's hosting is superior to photobucket's, which won't display images after a (fairly low) bandwidth threshold is exceeded. I can't see any advantages to using photobucket over imageshack.

                      e: Maghog, Mescalito's instructions were exactly right and quite simple. Might want to consider that if photobucket's not working out for you. Or if you'd like, e-mail me the images at [email protected] and I can take care of the hosting and how to post here for you.

                          I just sent someone the shots, so if we are lucky, they might still get up here tonight.
                          Through all the frustration, it's really nice to see so many of you ready to help me out.
                          Thanks a lot guys.

                              The forum is pretty mch on auto-pilot. I have said that they need to take the file attachment option out many times and no one has done it. There are a ton of things that need done and have not been.
