    get someone young to look over your shoulder when you're trying to post a picture?

    Usually the problem is that the picture is to "large", so you need to "resize" it. Which can be a challenge for those who are not good with computers.

    Having issues myself on a regular post. Make sure when you sign in you check the little box that says "Keep me signed in". That helped me through it.

    When you "upload a file" using a computer, it gives you an option to insert the images as a thumbnail, or full image. You want "full image". You should be able to edit the post, and either delete the image and upload it again as full size, or just select to have it be full size.

    I have been having trouble of and on also. My work around has been to put the picture on my wallpaper over in the upper right corner. Then when I hit the attach icon, I drag and drop it in the window. A pain, but it's my best. This one did not require that. But it is a 17 year old girl and I will never have another pretty girl with a STS picture. 11826012_876782349035949_640628671167792305_n.jpg

    have same problem off 'n' on when posting pics. for me I have to restart my computer for pics to work. also, depends on system that you are using and where in that system are your pics stored and does that location allow resizing. still do not understand the drag and drop process. RichFox - Thanks for posting inspirational pic.

    I've always been able to figure out a way to get the pictures up, but I'm a computer whiz. I started messing with digital images 20 years ago.

    Yes, it is rocket surgery. Don't expect it to be easy.
     
  10. Flatmotor: I get the error message the first time I try to upload an image each day. Once I X out of the Hamb and reload it, it seems to work OK, It's a pain but I keep doing it. Tim (if you have more trouble PM me and I'll give you my cell number and walk you through it if necessary)
