OK, if this is the wrong forum I apologize beforehand but is anyone a picture posting guru here? I have been trying to post pictures of my old Valiant. I get to the "post thread" page and I use the tool bar for "attachments". When I get to the attachments page I "browse" from my computer as none of my pix are posted on a website/url.
Fine, I browse, find my picture, click to move it to the attachment page and wait, wait, wait, then I get the message "upload error jpeg upload failed." Happens everytime. I was able to post some pix of the boat and my son about a year ago with no problem. I don't know, perhaps I'm getting senior and losing brain cells. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks! :confused:

There are many photo upload sites to choose from. Photbucket seems to be the most popular. I have always used tiny pic and it works great. Just upload the photo, grab the url for forums and paste into message.

First, I'm so sorry about posting this incorrectly initally. Second, THANK YOU ALL for your help!!! I went to Photobucket and after playing around I got squared away. Thanks again, I don't feel like such an internet ignoramus! Here is a sample. (This is my engine cover after cleaning/sanding/painting etc.)...

If you don't want to use photobucket, the forum has a size limit for .jpeg's at 146.5 KB. Use a photo editor like microsoft's generic photo program to re-size to those low limits.
