G'day
I am having trouble uploading an image onto this site. I am able to browse to it and click the upload button. Not much happens and the okay button remained greyed out. Some sort of user restriction or am I being uncommonly thick about this?
Thanks in advance
Glenn

Glen, you need to have 25 posts before the image upload to the server kicks in. Until then you have to host images on a third party site (photobucket.com is a goodie) and cut and past the URL of the image into the image box. ------------- Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water. |

Thanks muchly - i thought it had to be something like that. (The IT guy in me would mutter about poor error handling in the application but that is just being picky  ). I guess you will all have to do without some pics of a unusual fishin yak.....

| Capt solution is to post more worthless topics like the majority on (not me of course, everything I say has credibility) here do, this way you will build up the extra post required. |

Thanks Tzer!. Stand by while I write a loop that sends Post 1 through 25 with a random subject line . Never mind. Rules have reasons (don't they?). This one just makes it hard to make a contribution to a site that gives me a lot of pleasure and information.

Glenn Try this site for getting the URL you require to post. Streets ahead of Photobucket http://www.imageshack.us/ - http://www.imageshack.us/ |

Thanks Bushpig, but there is seldom a free lunch on the internet and I would prefer not to attract more spam and malware that I already do (also I figure if I keep saying inflamtory things like that I will get to 25 posts before the day is out! ) |

| flickr.com is best for pictures. And no spam and no malware. Just web hosting of your images for free. |

| Seems you don't even have to register to post images so you may be right - its very hard to be sure. |
