Error - Uploading Images

Post by spartan64 »

Well I don't think it's an error but for some reason I cannot upload images to posts & messages. Tried all sorts of formats including bmp, jpg, png, tiff, gif. But when I try uploading an image a message pops up saying "This extension is not allowed".
What I think that causes this problem is that there is a limit to the image size, but somehow shows the wrong message. I was trying to upload screen captures when this problem occurred.

Are you talking about adding an attachment?

It works... that is the png version which is 50kbs. The jpg version is 1.3mbs!
Why would it say that the extension is not supported rather than saying file size is too large?

Use www.photobucket.com or something to upload the image to then you can use the

[-img] direct URL link from photobucket.com[-/img] (with out the -'s) to show the image here on the forums, its what I do when I want to upload something.

You may need to re-size but photobucket has inbuilt features for that.
