How do I post pics in the forums??? - Aquarium Advice

STARFYRE · 01-03-2007, 03:21 PM

I finally got my honey to download and size some pics for me so that I too can share my underwater pets with all of you. They are posted in my gallery, but I cannot figure out how to post them in the forums. Help please!

I'm going to move this to the Site Help/Feedback section

Or, when creating a new thread, go to the bottom of the page. You will see the "browse" button to choose your pic from your computer (don't forget the size limitations). Once you've selected your pic, click the attach button and then submit.

I tried in 3 different forums and this is what I keep getting...
"Sorry, but the maximum filesize for all attachments is reached. Please contact the Board Administrator if you have questions."
It says the max size is 250 kb. None of my pics exceed 125 kb. What's really goin on?

Isn't there a pixel size also? It's been so long since I've used AA for uploading pics. Upload the pics to a website like http://www.photolocker.net. Then just C&P the URL to the post.

The size isn't the problem. My biggest pic size is 120 kb. It says the max is 250kb. I got one to post in the identification forum. I tried to post the same exact pic in another thread and I got that message again. I can't find the urls. OH I am sooooooo frustrated.

You probably reached your total file size limit. You have 16 photos totaling 1.1MB so far.
