Cannot post a picture.

In the past I could click on the 4th icon in the 4th block, 2nd line above this message block (Screen) and upload a pic from my hard drive.

Now I get error message stating: the file name.JPG this is not a valid image file.

What has happened?

I've never been able to get that method to work. Instead, I upload my photo to Photobucket.com, then copy the "direct link" for the photo. In the message, paste the link between [img] and [/img] with no spaces. This forum will interpret the link and display the photo.

For example:

[im g]http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh7/Moscheutos/IMGP3230_zps110d7b0b.jpg[/im g]

gives



in you take out the space in between the "m" and "g."

I used photobucket its pia but it works.

I went similar issues on iBoats forum. I just successfully posted pics here from my confuser - after one fail. What worked was reducing the .jpg's size to below 270 KB. ...don't know the limit here on this forum, but that size will give a nice pic.

I've got Photoshop which makes resizing a snap. Else you can email the image to yourself and select the smallest size, save and post.

I use the Photoshop "Save for Web" application and get the images down to !5-30 KB without much loss in quality. I store all my forum photos on this site.
