Tony, it must be telling you that the picture is too big. You'll have to make the picture a little smaller for it to work. I don't recall what the requirements are but I know if it's too big it will refuse it. David

Hi Tony, take a look at this link and see if it doesn't help ya
There is a set file size for images on the Message Board (they can be larger for the Gallery) it's 580 pixel Tall x 780 pixels Wide and a 72 picture resolution Posting Photos - Woodcarving Illustrated Message Board
Hope this helps,
Kathy

Tony they are both right. it sounds like you need to lower the pixels on your pictures. one picture is a file. and it has to be at least 780 or lower either way. no bigger. if you have adobe you can do it there . I keep a file just for this forum. and all the pictures that go into it, are already fixed to be able use hear. then when you go to attachments, then browse, then to your picture files. then to the picture you wont, then you can open it, and it will appear in the little box in the browser window, you can pick up to 5 this way. and then upload them, and wait and see if they all show up , under the browser bars, down lower. and if they do. then you can X out. and submit your messadg. if you need more help. just give me a jingle. you can also do this on your camera, but you will have to look at your minue to see how to lower the picture on you camera. hope I helped some. your friend Evie
