I've searched for the answer to this, but I'm either a tool (highly probable), or the answer I'm looking for is not there.
I'm trying to post pics in a post, but it keeps giving me an error message. The error message doesn't specify what is wrong. I'm scaling the pic down to the required dimensions, and even smaller, but to no avail?! Any ideas? I've never posted a pic before, so that's not the problem. C'mon, I want to get the full RideMonkey forum experience. Thanks in advance.

What kind of file is it? A jpg or gif? Do you know what the dimensions and file size are?

Easy!

1. Get a photobucket.com account like Stinker said.

2. Upload photo


3. Copy and Paste IMG Code

I know I can do it the Photobucket way, but why should I have to? All the other forums I belong to, I'm able to upload pics all the time, the regular way...not using a 3rd party place. Any reason why the attachments thing on here isn't working? Thanks.

Not all forums are set up the same way. I used to be able to attach files, now I get an error when uploading the image. Maybe that feature is reserved for those who donate? Maybe it's disabled? Maybe it's simply broken? *shrug* It just takes an extra 15 seconds and an extra Tab open to up the file to PB anyway. I'm not always in such a rush so PB it is!

I am having trouble uploading photos too! I have been trying for the last two days and it keeps saying file failed. I've made the file smaller then the requirements.....Has anyone found an answer to this problem besides photobucket?

Oops, sorry I missed this. I'll take a look and see what I can figure out.

seems to work for me. Can you copy and paste the error message you are getting? You didn't specify what the size of the file you are trying to upload is.

The error message is: "Upload Error...Upload of file failed."
The size of the pic is 85kb, 600x399 pixels. Any ideas?!

P.S. I just tried to upload one again, and no luck.

FYI, I tried uploading several images from local and url, all failed. I tried from my PB acct, smilies from here, images from other websites, and stuff from my PC that I know would work.

last message
Code:
