Can't upload pics here

[SenorNikonMan]

I haven't been able to attach pics to my posts here since yesterday. Everytime I go to do so, I get "This page cannot be displayed". I had no problems before. Is anybody else having this problem or is it just me?

Well that certainly answers my question. O.K., let me try it again.

Hey, it worked! Why can't I do that in the Nature and Wildife forum? I guess I'll go try it there again.

BTW, as long as I'm on the subject of posting pics here, how do you add text below a pic on here? I've seen others do it but since the pic does not show up in the preview window I don't know how. For example if I wanted to make a comment about the spider pic but have it show up below the pic. How would I do that?

Let us know if it doesn't work in the Nature & Wildlife forum; but since you got an image posted here it should work anywhere on the site.

I think the only way to have images put at certain places with text above and below is to host the images somewhere else, and then link the images from that hosting site. Photobucket.com has free accounts and works very well for this. you'd upload the image to Photobucket (or any other) and then copy the Image Tag. Place that where you want the image to show up, and you're all set. The nice thing about Photobucket is that they come up with the HTML code for the Image Tag, and all you have to do is left-click on it and it will be copied to your clipboard. Basically, your post would look something like this:

text text text blah blah blah

[IMG].......{/IMG} (this is the HTML code that you'd get at Photobucket)
And then the caption goes here...

more text text text blah blah blah

If you try to upload all five photos at once, I always have the upload fail. But if I only unload one at a time I have no problems.

I've been trying to upload three at once for several days now in the Nature and Wildlife forum and it fails ever time. It goes straight to the "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" message.
