Hi
Asked one of the admins but they never got back to me. How do I post a picture on the site?
Thanks in advance

If you want to post a picture just select the ADDITIONAL OPTIONS Choice under the message box.  You can add an attachment there. Only thing is that there is a size limit that the picture can be.  You can try adding it and if it is not accepted you can shrink it in any software package you have or even in Paint.
Good luck

If that does not work just let me know. I have a web host that I can post your image for a couple weeks where the size does not matter.

Then I will send you the link for posting here

There are tons of free 3rd party image hosting sites out there. One of my favorites is http://imageshack.us. The images won't "expire" and you are allowed to hotlink them (directly post them without the need to credit the site). They have a 1.5 MB file limit though.

You should try your web space provided by your Internet Service Provider. Many have web space. Contact them.

I am getting the following error message when trying to attach a small 22K file to my post:

"The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator."

Has anybody else experienced this problem today or tonight ?

The forum's web host probably has a space limit and the upload folder is set to reject uploads after a size is reached. When reached, it will display this message.

You could open an account at www.photobucket.com [it's free!], upload images to your photobucket account and use basic HTML code to post photos (or links to the photos) from photobucket to this site.

Once you've uploaded a picture to photobucket:

-tick the box that appears under the thumbnail of the image.
-click "Generate HTML and IMG Code".
-click on the text in the box under "IMG images for message boards".  It will automatically be copied.
-paste the "img" code into the body of your message on this forum.

If the resulting image comes out too large, instead of selecting the text in the "IMG images for message boards" box, select the text in the "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended" box.  Then whoever reads your message on this forum can view the full-size image by clicking on the thumbnail [like the $20 error note pictured below].

Fixed. The attachments folder ran out of space. I've cleared all attachments older than 90 days.

If anyone wants to post a picture with any kind of longevity, use ImageShack or PhotoBucket per above.
