Please help. I can download the image from my computer, but then nothing. I can't drag it. I guess I just can't figure this out...
I can only get as far as uploading it. I can't figure out how to attach it.
TIA

Click on the Insert Inline option at the lower right of that window and you will see the IMG code on your post and when you then post the thread/reply, you will see it.
Here's the full how to-
Hit reply. Click Go Advanced below the screen where you can type. You will see an icon with a paperclip. Click on it.
Box will pop up. Click on Add Files, Select Files and another pop up box where you can select the file off your Desktop. Select your file and hit Upload. It should be in the bottom window of your picture viewer with a check in the little box. Hit insert inline and you will see and "ATTACH" in brackets with a number between them. Your image is there and will remain in your "library" next time you go to attach an image. Hit Submit Reply. HTH
I am trying to change my avatar but it keeps saying my file is too big. How can I change this. I didn't have this problem with my last picture? Thanks! amari
Are you trying to update your profile picture or avatar? We have both on here. The profile pic is what we see in the forums. The avatar is just an image on your individual profile page. How big and what kind of file is it?
The profile pic. I first tried just a pic from my computer iphoto which is what I used for the one I have on there now and it worked. Then I tried to put it on photobucket and thought I reduced the size but it still doesn't work?
Is it the megs or the physical size that it gives you an error about? Is it just a general error?
It sometimes says invalid file, sometimes says file too big. I am REALLY challenged with technology!
sometimes it just says upload of file failed.
What is the file type- what comes after the '.'? Is it a .jpg?
well, on photobucket there are jpg images, but then once you want to copy and share there are different options and I can't see anymore so I have tried them all, some of them end in jpg and some end in other things and none work. Same with just the image from my computer. I am probably making no sense to you!
I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to upload a photo for my profile pic from my computer which is a JPEG and under 73kb as is required, but everytime i try to save the changes it says 'upload of file failed'. Any help please?
You have a new pic, so did you figure it out?Quote:

You need to be uploading an Avatar for the image we all see in the forums under your username- you may also upload a profile pic but those stay within your user profile and people only see them when they view your profile page to read about you.
Let me know if you still have trouble.
