Eric,
Can we upload pictures in JPG format, to this board, from our computers? If so, I tried, and got the same invalid upload thingy. :lol:

Yep, worked for me. But I did notice that it will refuse to post if it is over 256K in size (which is pretty small in today's pic standards).

This pic has an uppercase JPG file extension. Once I browsed and attached it, then I had to click "Post inline" or something like that to get it to appear in the post.

Size limitations I can fix.... within reason. Generally 1024x768 pics are the biggest pics you want to upload here due to the sizes that some of the large mega-pixel pics can assume when put into a post. I got my heiney politely chewed early on in the history of the system because I was uploading really large pics, consequently I started reducing the sizes and everyone was then happy. Personally I either use 640x480 or 800x600.

Let me see what I can do, if it's a size problem we can work with it. Of course right now my track record with pics is pretty dismal since we still haven't got the old pics fixed yet... sigh....

EDIT 9:25 PM.... Check the system updates section for some actions I just took. Posting it there so I don't have to repeat the whole message.
