A frequent cause of upload failures is the size of the picture file. For Sig pics the max size allowed is 500x250 or 97.7k for the file size, whichever is less.

Same here. How do you put a pic into the message?
A real pic, not an attachment.

  • First you need to upload the pic to a photo site like PhotoBucket.com
  • Once there, click on and copy whats labeled IMG Code. The line should start with [IMG] and end with [/IMG]
  • Paste the copied link into your post
The pasted line should look like the one below except for the red X's. The X's are only here in this example to make the code line visible.

[XIMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w167/charliebzz/Dragon%20-%20640x480%20Pics/4-Moonshine-IMG_0739.jpg[/IMGX]


And here the same thing is with the X's removed.

You can click the little button above the reply box () this will pop up a box to add the link to your picture that you have uploaded to a server (your own server or something like photobucket, etc.). Note that browser pop up blocking will have to be off for this site.

***If you are not seeing the button above the reply or post box you need to change a setting in your control panel. Go to UserCP > Edit Options > Message Editor Interface > change the drop down menu to Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing.
