Why can't I post pictures?

Post by Decaff »

Can anyone help here, I have tried many times to upload a couple of photos but I get a message telling me the board has reached its limit and then notice that lots of other users are able to post photos??

Do I not have this option in my setup? If not, can i please have it?? Please?!

Very confused, please can a moderator help with this?
Many thanks
Decaff.

it could be the size of the picture , try opening it in paint and making it small or change it into jpeg file

I think there is problem with UKP at the moment as when I first tried to reply to this thread, I had the same message saying the Boards Resources has reached it's limit.

Perhaps the Mod's need to increase the resources or do some archiving.

As for posting picture, its best if you upload them to Photobucket, or one of the other free image hosting sites. That what I did with the Wood Gas Stove thread.

tigs - the photos are small enough for uploading, this was my original problem but now I get the same message as Devonian...

Devonian - I will try doing this, thank you.

I use photobucket which stores the picture. What you post is the link. If u delete the picture in photobucket it can't be seen in ur post any more. This frees up space on the site.
