I tried uploading a pic on the New products Forum and keep getting an Error Message...
It's always worked before and was using a JPG Image...


Any Suggestions??

You'll need to use a third party picture hosting site such as photobucket or flicker.

www.photobucket.com

Upload your images there and then paste the IMG tag back here in the forum and there you go! Easy peasy. You'll get more sells if you post a photo for sure.

It appears that you are supposed to be able to attach images in the New Products forum.

I've heard that it sometimes just doesn't work but might work for you the next day.

I've heard that you might have used up your allotment of attachments and can go to "manage attachments" and delete something and it will then let you add another attachment.

I suspect it would be wisest to use a third party image storage site like flickr, photobucket, imageshack, etc., like MoxZ said.

That way if LL decides to lose the attachments in the forum remodeling your images will still be readily accessible Plus, you can use the same url to advertise in sluniverse forums, etc.

Thanks for help

Set up a photobucket account and it worked great :)

Also Deleted all my uploaded attachments (Didn't know you could do that or needed to)

Had about 150 LOL

Thanks again to Resident Answers :)
