Image Upload in Forum post.

Can anyone help/advise re. attaching pics to a post in this forum?
I'm struggling with Blender texturing and on the basis that a picture's worth a thousand words when I'm looking for help, I tried to upload an image of my problem but got knocked back saying:

'There seems to have been a slight problem with the SL Forums database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.
An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.'

Not that I'm sceptical, but is that really the case and I'm just unlucky trying right now, or is it something more fundamental with my using WinXP and Mozilla Firefox?

Thanks for any help.

save your picture to a host (I use photobucket, it's free) and then get the url with image tags and paste it into the thread

The forums' system for posting photos has been borked since at least last summer. It has had a few good days, but has been giving that same error message most of the time. Ralektra is right. Use Photobucket or Flickr, or some other hosting system and then post the links.

Thanks, Rolig and Ralektra. Your advice has been implemented.
The texturing query will be posted shortly.
