trying to upload a pic - and failed

[colinw1]

I was trying to upload a pic onto the site - but kept getting the "upload failed" error.

Must admit - this way seems to be better that the old method of uplaoding them to a third party "holding tank" - then linking to them....

Hi Colin
I think that you pictures might be too big for the forum to load.
Sprocket posted a good Set of Instructions on how to post pictures successfully.

I wondered at the time - but as there's a re size option - I figured I could re size the pic once I'd uploaded it.

Cheers

What I tend to do is post the direct link from Photobucket on this website
I then after posting click on the link and copy and paste the pic under the edit button
It works every time
