    How do you manage your attachments if it does not allow you to load them?

    Is this a know problem or is it just me?

    Here is a copy of the error message I get.

    Manage Attachments
    Upload Errors
    Terry Giblin DSE.jpg:
    Upload of file failed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Light in, light out.

    This is not a problem. Uploading of attachments has been disabled.

    So if I want to display an image on this web site I first have to upload it on, Bad Astronomy and Universe Today before I can post it here?

    You can upload images to your profile page, just make an album and add an image:

    Brief notes

    I presume, then, you're referring to personal images not available anywhere else on the web?

    The Bad Astronomy/Universe Today forum is password protected. I am uncertain how that will affect image display at Sciforums in terms of access (e.g., I cannot access the page you linked, as I am not a registered member of that forum).

    ImageShack, Photobucket, Flickr, or any number of such websites suffice:

    Or if you have a blog or other personal website, that should work as well:

    Any image that is generally accessible around the web in some form can be posted at Sciforums; the only real worry is copyright violation, and we've had little enough trouble on that score over the years.

    And, of course, there is the question of dimensions. Sometimes I use one or the other of my blogs to create a smaller version:

    "Upload failure" - Is it just me

    Why do I, always have to ask the really silly questions, like Why?

    If you don't mind silly me asking, seems like a good idea to me?
