Trying to upload images as attachments

[wiseant]

Hi - hope this is the correct forum

I can't seem to upload any images from my computer as attachments

I have read through
"Attachments and Images
How do I attach a file to a post?"

I have tried various formats gif, jpeg, bmp - all of these were 200 kb or less and I tried with resolutions of 800x600, 640x480, 320x240, and 240x180

I keep getting "This is not a valid image file"

Previously I was able to upload a small text file and I did a test whereby I was able to upload a 200 kb rar file

Any suggestions?

TIA

What happens when you try to upload the images to another hoster, e.g. imgur.com (http://imgur.com)?

Hi Inspector.Gadget

I was able to upload a couple of images to http://imageshack.us
e.g.
"Here's a link to 34.gif and 144.gif"
http://imageshack.us/g/214/28102179.gif/

so the linked images worked - [although I wasn't aware that imageshack had so many pop-ups]

Anyway I just want to upload a few gif/jpg/bmp/png that are less than 200 kb

If you register a basic account with imageshack.us, you shouldn't get pop-ups or ads.

Once you've done that, each image will have a forum link to allow you to place the image into your post like this:

Hi CWR03
Thanks for the info - I'll have to look into this
