Why can I post pics to gallery, but not a thread

stump54 · 01-21-2009

I've been trying to add pictures to a thread, with no luck. When I preview the thread, no pictures shows were the thumbnail should be. It indicates something was attached, but no picture. When I tried to upload to the gallery, I had no problem. I have tried both, uploading from my PC, and using a hosting site.

I've added pictures in the past, but it's been so long I don't recall the process. Actually, it seems pretty simple now, but no luck.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary!

I am wondering if your pictures are too large... can you give me a file size on those?

The pictures I've tried to upload to a thread was already uploaded into my gallery (pic #16 "66 fastback). The stats there say it's 5.4mb. I don't understand why I can upload one place and not the other.

Anything above 1 meg will not load.... the one that did upload was probably an "accident"... you have to file size them down, they are too high resolution for AFM & websites in general to work efficiently...

Here's a thread on sizing them down...

Post back so we know if it helped!!

Is 54.5KB the same as 5.4MB? Properties says: 54.4KB.

No much smaller, that should work... have you tried one at a time? Can you email one to me to test and see if I can upload? PM me, I'll give you my email address....
