I can't attach an image

[Lou]

Franck,

I'm trying to attach an image - it's only 3K in size. I saved it as a .gif.

I can Browse to it in the "Attach file" box below, but when I press the "Submit message" button, the file address just gets wiped out of the box. I tried saving it as a .jpg too, but the same thing happened.

As you can see, I can upload avatars fine, using your browse method - it's just attaching images won't work for me! :sad:

[Franck]

I am not sure why it won't work... Which part of the forum have you tried to post it in?
Could you try to post it in this thread, and if it fails, email it to me as an attachment, and I will try it from my end...

I tried again - it still won't attach. It's the one I just posted as an IMG at the bottom of

It's really weird, Franck.

Ok, I'll give it a go!

Hopefully, here is your picture as an attachment:

Hopefully, here is your picture as an attachment: Yep, worked first time here... I am at a loss as to why it would not work :sad: maybe the path got corrupted!

Nope - still can't do it! Maybe it's a bug with my browser. Ahhh well. Thanks for trying. :nice:

[Lou]

I'd saved it directly on my C: folder, so it wasn't that. Don't worry - it's not something I do with alarming regularity! :wink:

I've never been able to do this either from my own PC. I can attach an image that's on another web site, but not from my own machine.

But I can upload an avatar from my machine...

[DavidB]

I'm just going to try again & see what happens...

[DavidB]

Can anyone else see that? I can see it fine on my PC.

When I've tried before, I previewed the posting, and it didn't work when I finally submitted it. This sime I just posted the message...

Finally I got around to getting my (non digital camera) photos done from the Comp. However I can't attach files for some reason!

[Dancing Veela]

The files were too big :wink:

Aha - I was having problems too... but the answer was lurking in this thread! Thanks!

It only worked when I posted the message directly - i.e. without previewing the message first (I'm not game to try going and editing the message as well.)
