Hello everyone.. just curious if there are any forum administrators around lately. I've been having an issue posting any pics.. this happened once before several months back and Ed told me that someone had not given me permission in the settings to post pics.. he changed it and it worked great for awhile. Now again, no luck. I emailed the administrators about this over a week ago, but haven't heard a thing.

Yes sir.... I click on "attachments", then add files... when I go to open the files I see the gree progress bar do it's thing and then a small yellow triangle appears at the far right. When I go to "preview" the post, none of the pics are there. Beats me.

Craig.. thought about that also... when I couldn't get them to post i went back and resized them..... perhaps I didn't size them low enough? What's the max size?

okay, the problem has to have something to do with the pictures themself. I grabbed an old pic of one of my cars and it loaded fine... then tried to post a pic I took of my boat the other day, and it won't post... and it is actually smaller than the pic of my car that did post. Pic that didn't post was taken with my android cell phone.. I've used it for pics in the past and no issue.. but I h ave no idea why I'm having issues with it now.. any of you young tech savy guys got an idea what it is and how to fix it, I would sure love to know. thanks in advance

Hey, ROLAND.

I am NOT an IT guy, but... I recommend you check the file type of the different pictures. Generally, jpg and png are what you want to use. IF your phone did an update, or if it pooted sideways, your default file type may have changed.

It may be worth looking at just to rule it out. Good luck!

TWB... thank you for the info.. that makes sense because the pictures I took on my phone wouldn't post here, but the picture of my car above was taken with a camera, not my phone. Something must have changed with in my phone because I've posted pics from the phone many times... Now I got to learn how to find out what type of file's being created and how to change it. Thanks again twb.. appreciate it my friend. Have a great weekend.
