I'm not sure Joe. Maybe someone will help you. I just attach photo to my post.

I may not be good at explaining this but you have to downsize your Photos.
I downloaded free Irfanview and downsize my Photos to 640x 480. Then they will be accepted for Downloading. I don't know if this is the problem you are having but it was mine.

If you only shoot at 2 mp you shouldn't have to resize them. There is an option to add them if you scroll fown and look for a button that says manage attachment when you create a new thread or if you reply to someone you will need to choose go advanced and then scroll down and choose manage attachments. choose the browse buton to lovate the file on your comuter once upi have there is an upload button on the bottom of that window you have to press. Once they have uploaded after press the button post i they will show in the post.

Another option is to upload it to the forum's picture pages and copy the bb code into you post.

If you use an online picture storage website you can probably find a code for each picture you can type: [img]insert code here with no spaces[/img]

and that will insert the picture in the post. If you see large pictures in posts that how those got there using the [img]....[/img] method.

I hope that helps If you try the first and second option and that doesn't work it should give you an error code and let you know if it is too big of a file or not which I wouldn't see a 2 mp camera having files too large. My last camera was a 3 mp and they uploaded just fine Let me know if you need more help

in the image gallery
you really need to make sure you go to the nav bar at the top of the page click Orchid Photo Gallery then in the nav bar click upload
make sure you fill in all the windows before you click submit
if they do not upload I would recommend re-size the pics to slightly smaller size
