First Yahoo stops letting me link to my 5MB of photos (many of which are of my kitties), then it stops letting me Add any new ones (more photos of kitties) and now I realize I can't seem to attach photos!
I tried to attach a pic that isn't on Yahoo Photos. I hit "submit" and it sat there for 10 minutes. I stopped, went back to the thread, and it had posted, without the pic!!

So I'm gonna try again. If this shows up, then forget anythin ever happened

BTW, the image is a mere .3 of a MB (about 300 KB)

I think I may have realized the answer to some of my problems!
The image was exactly 392 kilabytes, which means 392000 bytes. I thought the limit was 33240 Kilabytes, which is far more reasonable then that number of bytes! That's 3 megabytes, which is a very, VERY large picture.

So mabye they arn't posting because it's to big?

So I opened a program to make it smaller. When I opened it, it told me that it's not really a jpg file some reason. So I re-sized it and made it a jpg file again without problems.
Yahoo dosn't accept anything besides jpg.

So just Maybe I can post this image again since I resized it (not in actual size, but in resolution so u can't tell), and maybe I can finnally add it to Yahoo.
But I still can't link to it.

So here goes my adorable picture once again!

Looks like you've figured it out, I can see your pic!

Anytime you have trouble w/ pics or anything else, there is a thread at the top of the page called "our super duper important threads". In there you will find a link to a post called "your computer questions answered". There is a ton of info there on all of these subjects, and lots of great questions too. Take a look there if you ever run into trouble!!
