Title: Cannot upload pictures
Post by: castro on May 12, 2006, 23:48

I cannot upload pictures in a msn forum post. My browser is firefox. The picture is a jpg. I browse, select the file and attach in the post. When I send the post, the text is ok but the picture is missing. Any ideas please.

Maybe the forum you are posting on doesn't allow images?  My advice would be to check the FAQs on the msn forum, or contact the forum administrators.  Just for information, the BBCode for images is:
 

Code: [Select]

[img]http://www.website.name/image.jpg[/img]
but sometimes the [img] tags are case sensitive, so try with upper and lower case.

The forum does allow images. I can send the image attached to an email.

Some forums have limits as to the size of images, in file size as well as image dimensions.  You could try reducing both to see if makes any difference, but, without wishing to seem unhelpful, your best bet is to ask on the forum which you are trying to post the image on, as we have no way of knowing the technicalities of other forums.

You could try posting the image on here, if you like, just to see if it works, providing it's nothing too outrageous.  ;)
