Problem posting pics

Nope, not seen that before. Have you posted pictures here in the past?

Hi Andrew, thanks for your speedy reply.
No I haven't tried posting pics here before.
The dialog box that comes up is coming from your server and not the standard windows message.
I could post you a screenshot but . . . .

Hi gang!

Trying to post a small pic in the "my system" topic and I keep gettin the message "You do not have permission to upload or link to files. Please contact your system administrator".

Now I am my own system admin and i have contacted myself and I have no idea.
Anyone on the WHF site seen this before?
I'm running Windows Seven RTM and haven't seen this problem before . . . . could it be your servers?

You do no you cant upload pics directly to the site dont you? You need to use a hosting site such as flikr or photobucket,then use the insert/edit images button on the toolbar(looks like a tree) and cut and paste your image url's into the pop up box that appears.

ahhhh!

Thanks you two!
But when I select the edit function, say on this message, then compose, then options, then file attatchment add/update it's then the error dialogue pops up . . . . that's where the confusion popped up as well.
I see the tree thing now, thanks . . . .

Does anybody know where pjpro's thread is that tells you how to post pictures.

I've seen it before but must remember to send it to my inbox or print it off for future reference.

To upload photos - First of all you need to ensure the photos are hosted somewhere such as Flickr. www.flickr.com (Free site) Once this is done you can start to post pictures. Personally I use Firefox but I assume it will be similar for Explorer.

You will need to get the address location of your picture so (using Flickr) click on the photo you want to upload. Once this is done you will need to right click and select 'properties'. You will then be presented with a small box of data and the top line will say Location. Copy the URL listed opposite this.

When you post there should be a tool bar available under the message header. Located on this is an icon of a picture of a tree. Click on this and it will bring up a little box. The top line will say Image URL. Paste the URL you previously copied here. Then set the Image Alignment. Once this is done the dimensions of your image should be shown. You may need to resize the image if it is too large (more than 400 pixels) as this really peeves of the Mods! Then just click on 'Insert' and job done!!

Hoping this works

 

Nope it didn't.  I am using firefox on an Imac.

I posted the URL (http://s684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/barnsleydave_2009/?action=view&...) into the image/url box

Typed "test" in the image description

Set alignment to top. Although i really don't know what that does.

and set dimensions to 400 x 400. left everything else as blank

I'll try again. This time just putting url and leaving everything else as blank

 

 

Will investigate after I've put the shopping away...

It's the link you used from your image... you used the im-email link,when you need to use the direct link.

This one
