Hi there,

Due to severe back problems, I have not been allowed to do much computer work for the past few months, so I didn't visit the forum a lot, let alone edit any photo's. I'm getting much better, did some editing and wanted to put a photo up, but I can't seem to be able to upload any attachments to my posts anymore.
Anybody know what could be the problem?

Hi Jerry. As a contributor you need to link to your image which needs to be hosted elsewhere on the web. This has always been the rule on BPN but prior to the site upgrade contributors were able to upload images and it caused a little consternation to contributors who had got used to uploading when the rule was enforced. In the new post window you need to click on the little chainlink icon to point to where your image is hosted. Glad to hear you are improving and back in action.

load images for now at tinypic.com if needed....free and easy.
Then once a "BPN" member you can upload here as Tony noted
