Help On Posting Pics

[Gene]

When I try to post a photo it asks for a url. Can a pic simply be posted as an image from my photo files without a url? Somebody 'splain this to a technologically challenged old guy.

Welcome to the forums! here are a couple of pics to help you.

Totally overlooked that, thanks a heap!

Tried that, it said there was a problem uploading my image....

Hmm Pic must have been larger? Yes.

Try now and let me know

or email them to me at postmaster@alabamagunforum.com and I will post them or see what the error is.

[/URL][/IMG] OK, still will not accept "upload". When I try 'url' from photobucket it puts the thingy up there but does not give me the 'thumbnail or full image' choice you talk about.

When you upload to the forum you dont use photobucket.

You will click Upload a file, let it upload, click insert thumbnail and click post reply.

understand, it will do neither. I've tried the upload option and the url option separately and neither works for me

 

[RandallC]

what error does it give you?

"There was a problem uploading your file.

I just tried another pic on the 'favorite handgun' thread and it uploaded with no problem. Must be something about the Ruger pic, unless you've done some tweaking of the software in the last few minutes.
