Hi,

I've encountered this problem before. When I go through the 'manage extensions', I can choose a pic, but then everytime I try to upload it ... it fails to do so. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried so many times here to upload pics of my cats and have hardly ever been able to do so. I just got a new cat and would really like to share her pictures!

Thanks,
Keith

Most of us here use an image hosting site like Photobucket and upload our pics there, then link here.

I give up....everytime I try to do this I just get so frustrated. When I copied in the whole link from the online picture website...it opened up the whole screen instead of just the picture. There has to be an easier way to do this.

OK, maybe I can help. Or, perhaps not.

You have your photo on hour hosting site, such as Flickr or Photobucket. Display the picture on your screen. If you have a choice, choose about 640x480 for the size; that's one of the choices on Flickr. Right click on the photo. You should get a menu box. Choose "Copy Image Location," or whatever equivalent you have.

Then, in the message box here, click on the little icon above the message box that looks like a mountain with the sun above it. When the box opens, right click and paste the image location you saved in that box. Click "OK" and the URL of the photo will show in your message. When you Submit the message, you will see your message with the photo in it.
