how do you post a pic

concretejungle · 12-01-03, 01:39 PM

o.k. what's the deal? I've tried to drag and drop, i've tried to copy and past, i've tried the little button "insert Image" and i can't get the picture saved on my desktop to get into this window. ???[img][/img] I just get this [img] thing.

what's the pic size and format?

90k max file size, 600x800 max pixel dimensions (or thereabouts)

must be jpg or gif formats too

concretejungle · 12-01-03, 01:48 PM

they are .jpg and are 40kb.

woody · 12-01-03, 01:52 PM

hhhmmm....are you at home or work? I know a few people have firewall issues when in the office...I get that all the time with Yahoo and file transfers....

concretejungle · 12-01-03, 01:56 PM

yea, i'm at work. I know we have a firewall that doesn't allow pictures in unless they are zipped. But they allow pics to be sent out.

I have to concur Woody ...

I've successfully found my way around most of the nuances of this software

, but I still run into times , for instance , when I cannot include a pic from my HD . I always follow the parameters [ file-size/type ] .

I have , on a modest number of occassions , given up altogether .

This place might be haunted ya know

Or is that just Junk's Mommas past coming back ....... [glow=red,200,3000]

my guess is that since the forum software needs to effectively read your desktop to retreive the file, your firewall is resisting. You either A> need to make friends with another lister to post images, B> do it from home only, or C> find outside photohosting for images.

Wish I had an easier solution...

woody · 12-01-03, 02:11 PM
