WTF...now what!

First i couldn't download pictures......... 'too big', but with some help got that fixed. Now when i try to attach files........ nothing happens, it won't work.
Any ideas. It say's that i can attach at the bottom of my page.

 

wrong format?

try google..... it works wonders........

 

just an observation, but it seems like your avatar and the frowney face in the title are at odds with your nick

now for some help...i always just upload my pics to www.imagestation.com and then use the image button in the post border with the URL of the pic from there. it automatically resizes them and is totally free. really makes thigns easy!

 

When I first started to post pics, I had that same problem. I had to save the pics .jpg.

 

they're probably the wrong size.
if you havent already, get a photobucket account...
makes life WAAAAAAYYYYeasier!

(i'll be by tomorrow)

 

I have the same problem but at the bottom of each thread where it says thread tools I get the damn red x in a box.....and when I post it doesn't even give the option of adding pics???

 

Go to Photobucket, get an account and forget about the rest. It really doesn't get any easier than copy/paste. You don't necessarily have to resize this way (depends). Before I post a pic in a thread, I use the "preview" function to make sure the pic is the appropriate size. Seriously, get a photobucket account.

Here's what ya do.
1. Create an account with photobucket. (it's free and easy)
2. Load pictures in said photobucket account.
3. When you look at the pics in photobucket there will be 3 boxes under the pic.
4. You will see a box with IMG in it at both ends.
5. Select that address, right click on it, copy it to the clipboard.
6. Come back here to your post. (I like to do the photobucket thing in a seperate window.)
7. Find where you want to put the pic, right click again and paste the address into the post.
8. Viola, you have a picture.
Try that and see what you get.

And do what Mootz said about previewing the post.

 

don't remember which, but one of those two suck completely as they have a time limit and all you get a week or mo or Yr later is something like a "pic no longer avail. or moved" page on the post. you see it all the time here ,frustrating as hell mo's later looking for a pic , even easier is to send to a HAMB'r to resize for ya ,I'll do it

 

- don't use this, free crap is sometimes still crap,Being new I am going over all the old posts as time allows to "get the goodies" info, and I see that damn thing a LOT.

 

You see that box because the user moved or deleted the pic, not because photobucket did. I have been using photobucket for years now and have not lost a single pic.

 

I haven't been able to post any pics for a few weeks now. Something changed. I used to click on the post reply box and then go to the manage attachments box to add my pics. The manage attachments box is no longer there. WTF, over! I have a attach files box but when I try to click on it nothing happens and I don't seem to have any other options. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Kiwi Kev, try this button.


Paste your photo URL in the window, hit OK

See if that works,

 

did'nt know that part CR, uploads are still working tho ,pictures have to be cropped or resized to 4x7" max or less

 

Why do I get a lot of red Xs instead of pictures in many posts? Is there a firewall or some settings in my computer blocking some of the pictures. Some posts with pictures show up just fine. Others and even some E-mail pictures are blocked and the red Xs are all that I get. Can someone help me correct this problem?

 

I'm on internet explorer now and everything seems to be working good. It's even working at normal speed. Back on AOL it had slowed down to a snails pace. Sometime this weekend I'll post some pics of my louver press project. Thanks Ryan and others who pulled me out of the ditch and got me back on the highway!

 

I did the photobucket account and uploaded my pic. Now how do I get that pic on the HAMB.
