What I do is hit the Browse button, which pops up a file selection window. I use that to select the file to upload. Can be any kind of file, as long as it's smaller than 3 MB.

it is a jpg and it is only 1mb. It just doesn't take it for some reason.

You have to have the picture on the Internet somewhere, not just your hard drive. Add the picture as an attachment to a post and then you can display it.

Try opening it up in PaintShop or whatever graphic software you use and reduce the image quality, then save it again. A 1mb picture is way too large for someone with a dial-up connection.This pic is only 36k, and it's still relatively sharp.

as a dialup modem user, I know that there have been some really large pictures uploaded, well beyond 300K (that's why I have them turned off)

Before Genvibe had the "file attachment" feature, I had to post pics on my personal web space with my internet provider, then pull them from there, but I just do the "file attachment" deal now.

Don't mind me, I'm just trying it out myself to see if it works or not.

I had the forum do that to me once...I tried to attach a PDF and it just wouldn't take it, but it was only a meg...It's temperamental sometimes...If you want, I'll host it for you on my server and send you the link...just e-mail me at the address in my profile and attach the file...

I think he was trying to post a pic in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5977 and it looks like ihe did it, now just needs to edit the post to correct the inline from C:Documents to put http://forums.genvibe.com/zerofile/2146/redlinejpg.bmp between the [IMG][/IMG] tags, like Although, I must point out that a bmp makes for a big file. Here it is as a jpeg, 40K instead of 518K.

Pretty crafty

Does your ISP allow you to have any webspace? You need to setup your webspace first, then you must upload the image file to your webspace using an FTP program, like Bulletproof. Then you need to link the image file from your webspace to this web board. For example, if you were with Rogers ISP and your username was Robdog and the filename was 'robdog.jpg' you would need to type between the [IMG] [IMG] the following.http://members.rogers.com/Robdog/robdog.jpg .Then the picture would show up on the board.

Want to give yourself a headache???? Right click on the above image and "set as background". Makes really annoying wallpaper.
