pumpuiman Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I have been trying to post a picture from my "my pictures" folder to a thread on houses. It's a jpg. file. I put the file in the attachments box and hit upload...and it says "uploading" but just spins forever and never loads. Am I doing something wrong? I really dont have a clue about this stuff... any help would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opalhort Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I just gave it a try with a sample picture. It did not upload from the 'My Pictures" folder but did OK from a different folder on a different drive. No idea why. opalhort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douggie Style Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) If you could be so kind, can you add local images via the 'Insert image' button along the top or the 'attachments' at the bottom? If I try to use the 'Insert image' button, it always asks for a http:// location and does not upload any file on my local computer. cheers Edited December 24, 2006 by Douggie Style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to use the TV server to save the images and insert then need to use the "Browse" and "UPLOAD" buttons to get it here. Then click "Manage Current Attachements" and select the image to put the link into the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to find the smallest image you can, for example - right click on your avatar and select "Save image as" to save it on your computer. Then Browse that image and UPLOAD and see how it behaves. Here is a small 8k picture, just right click and save image and use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
