I'm trying to post a picture and keep getting a screen saying that the page cannot be found. What am I doing wrong?

Doug C

When I go into the File Attachment feature at the bottom and "browse", I select the file I want .. then hit open and the box disappears. So I tried 'cut and paste' but got nothing but the page about cannot be found.. I'm a computer loser someone help me out. BTW, I searched archives but it was pathetic.

Read the FAQ (link at the very top of the page) first...
There's a tutorial there with pictures

Don't "preview" your post when posting pics, your attached pic will be lost

If that don't work, post again and we'll help you out

did you try the FAQ Section ?

the 'Browse/Attach' thing sounds like you did the right thing, so if it didn't work, it may be because the image was the wrong type (must be JPG or GIF) or was too big, must be < 300k

Man, this sucks I just posted my pictures over on the Pelican site with absolutely no problems but I cannot make it happen here on 914club! The only difference that I could see was that they have a button labled "unload picture now" or something like that. I have no idea why anything would be different between the two sites (settings wise). Could it have anything to do with "internet options" in the "tools" sections on my browser? Security settings or something?

because they are completely different sets of BBS software with absolutely nothing in common ?
that'd be my guess...

it won't have anything to do with your browser settings.

what - EXACTLY - is the file you are trying to attach - the full file name, its extension, and type.
exactly how big is it ?

need data ...

Doug, e-mail me the pic you're trying to upload and I'll try for you...

cheers,

Artecnika, I appreciate the help. The file is JPEG and the size is 1.37mb. It's located in my C drive under my documents (it's a PC). The name is pretty long something like :C/mydocuments/mypictures/etc/etc/etc/etc/914.01

Jeroen, I emailed you the pics.

Thanks!

Doug C

check this action
DOUGS CAR>>>NOT MINE!!!!

oh, BTW. i like the blue wheels

Now that is nice!

Question, please? What size wheels and what thickness spacers if any?

like i said in my original response - MUST BE < 300k ...

dooode. i copied his pics from pelican (hot link'd them).

that is DOUGS CAR

nevermind.

heh

OK, as AutotechnikA has pointed out (a couple of times) my pics are apparently too big. So, can I shrink them in my harddrive before trying to send them here? Surely, the camara isn't at fault. Surely, I don't have to change my PCs display settings.. BTW, I did appologize for being such a computer doofus didn't I, well if not - sorry!

Your photo software should have some kind of prepare for email feature or something similar that. Also people on this board have mentioned a program calle infraview (sp) I think it is a windows program, I'm more of a Mac guy so not sure about it.

By the way nice looking car, looks like you little one likes it as much as my son does.

download

irfanview and use it to scale the pics down.
