I know how to do it and have done it in the past...but now any time I try it just keeps showing the uploading file status forever. no idea how this has happened .....and Id have settled to my text posts had it not been the topic of the chocolate thread so any advice? tips on what I should do? thanks if it works then I might bribe the mod with some nice chocs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's all used up you can delete some from old posts or beg an admin to increase the space. One way to get around the attachment quotas is to open a gallery and link the photos into the post from your gallery rather than attaching them, or getting a flickr or other free photo storage account.

Totster Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 One other thing to check is that the image you are trying to upload is not larger than 2mb (thats the maximum file size allowed) totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) CDN, thanks for the tip...I checked and Ive used less than 1% of my allowance... 213kb from 48MB and tots the files arent any bigger than 2MB. I even tried copying a photo that had been uploaded by other member on to a thread and try to upload...still always the same result. I dont think its my internet speed either, since I can upload photos on to other sites (although not done in a while but its been done). Plus I was able to upload photos into my gallery on thaivisa. thanks for any further advice? From SBK: OK< Mig, I have just edited your post and added this smiley through the manage current attachments button: Any ideas guys? sbk Edited March 30, 2007 by sbk added smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 If you are using Internet Explorer, try with another browser, newest version of FireFox for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Might try one other thing, clear your cookies (not the chocolate ones) and your Internet cache - reload the page using CTRL F5 then try the upload again. I had that problem once before and this fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi Mig, I had the same problem as this, and I think it came after they upgraded the software?? Monty suggested it could be Fireox and to upgrade to 2.1, this worked for me. If you are not on 2.1 there is a thread somewhere else I shall search and post when I have found it. I reckon this will solve your problem. Moss Finn computer Expert Good Luck Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG16 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 ok have cleared cache etc.... so lets see....one more go at this...... PS. what I dont understand is...if I can upload pics onto gallery on thaivisa, then why not on to the threads ......hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 ok have cleared cache etc....so lets see....one more go at this...... PS. what I dont understand is...if I can upload pics onto gallery on thaivisa, then why not on to the threads ......hmmmmm i adjusted your account, try it again now - upload within a post and if that doesn't work try within a new blog. my gut feeling is it is a setting within your browser, if you have firefox then try with IE (to test, we know firefox is preferred) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 ok if this works...then this choc is for husky ughhhhh still no luck... will try again with IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chonabot Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Mig , have you tried hosting them on a site like Photobucket and then Inserting the image <url>.link ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 too complicated for my simple non-tech savvy head my solution might be to post them on the gallery and provide links so people from my chocolate thread can see what Im talking about oh well but its still baffling though.....someone must have an answer to this? oh wait...I still need to try IE..gee now where have I locked up my IE browser....

chonabot Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I must admit I never use the upload button except for the prem xl sheets. www.photobucket.com , open an account, upload your pics there, underneath each one is a http address. Copy and paste that into the [insert image] link above, takes no time at all. ps I like...................................................... hmm it does work after all....

Huski??? Seems ok (Reduced: 40% of original size). Sometimes I see a large image will be full size until full loaded into the window then it reduces and the reduction bar shows up.

Jai Dee Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 MiG16, the link in your post above leads to this URL: http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s180/ru...damArena044.jpg To display it in a post as an image instead of a link, you must add before the link and [/ i m g] after it.

MiG16 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 following Jaidee's suggestion I will try this now.... PS. alright i tried and this is what i got: THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed ok im willing to try all these fancy ways of posting a pic, but what I still DONT get is...why cant I do the simple upload? my question remains....if I can upload to the album...why not the thread? its obviously the same steps involved....so I am doing it right.........grrrrrrrrr and sighhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
