Howdy, I think this has been asked before but I couldn't find the post or answers. I'm not able to upload updated pictures to my profile. Is this something someone can correct? I sent Brent an email this morning but I'm sure he is busy and will get to it when he can.
Thanks
Tom
I hope you can get this straightened out.
If you do, please post back here how it happened since I can't either. I have no idea why although I've mentioned it in a few posts over the last few months. Just correlating information, it might be because both of us have roadsters? ;)
Yea I think that's the problem NO ROADSTERS ALOWED HaHaHa
pssst. let's put tops on them.
In the upper right hand side of the forum main page, you should see the following:Quote:

Click settings, then scroll down and on the left side of the page you should see your options for profile options, pictures and avatar pictures. Both of these are size (physical and file size) dependent.
The rest is as simple as following the instructions.

hmmm. I think that worked! Thanks, Bill.Quote:

Tom, I have no idea if there's another way or not, but I just did the "paid subscriptions" and that worked.
Nick, I see. I didn't realize that you must make a contribution to upload pics now but that makes sense.
I don't believe that's true! But I don't know why some have problems either so am unable to assist....Quote:

Not true... I haven't contributed lately and still have no problem posting pics... What size pics are you trying to load????Quote:

OOps! Sorry, Tom. Guess I misunderstood. I'm not one of the real knowledgeable computer guys on here but I'll try to help.
Are you trying to upload pics into you gallery, or into one of your posts?
Same message when I go to the Gallery and hit upload photos?????
But it seems I can upload through "Manage Attachments" when doing a post.
to clarify:
I was mixing up "gallery" and "garage" so my comment may be off base for the original question. I actually did not try to put pics in the gallery, I was trying to put my car in the "garage". When I tried that multiple times it said I already had the max number allowed, but in fact I had nothing in there. I think I see people with cars in the garage that aren't contributors so that's probably not really the answer. But for some reason the contribution thing worked for me, plus it's a good cause, and now I see the screen about adding cars to my garage whereas previously I could never get that far.
Dave. Same here I can upload them as attachments. I was wanting to update my gallery. I think when the room crashed a couple years ago it left some issues.
Yeah it did...But this is a more recent issue.
Wonder how many others have the same problem????
Mostly for pictures I upload them to photobucket.com for free, then use the copy imaged link and insert that into my post. One you post, the link becomes a picture. Just an easier way to load photos of any size with out eating up Brent's Hard drive storage space. it works sort of like this on photobucket once the image is uploaded there will be a box next to it on the right with Links to share this photo. Under that will be four different choices, and the one that has [IMG] by it is the one you want to copy it will look like this:
[IMG]http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc214/stovens/DSC_0005_01_zpsc15f41a4.jpg[IMG][URL]" only without the quotation marks if you copy it to your post making sure to have a space on both sides of the link it will end up looking like this: (the real picture to this link)
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...psc15f41a4.jpg
hmmm it gets curiouser and curiouser.
I think I can post attachments just can't add or subtract from the gallery. That is not really that big a deal.
I know in the past I've had to delete pictures from my gallery to post new ones. Maybe Dave is onto something
I tried to delete pictures but can't do that either. There is no button that says delete. I deleted most of my attachments but that had no effect on my gallery. I guess there are some post scattered around the site that had a picture attached that doesn't now...lol The pages take a long time to refresh sometimes also.
Tom the photobucket thing is pretty easy and free. to copy an image link just highlight it by placing your curser over it while holding your mouse button as you scroll across it. it wiil be blue, next let go of mouse and hit the Ctrl key and the letter c at the same time, you've now copied the link, go to your post and under any text you write click the mouse curser and hit the Ctrl key and the v key at the same time. Your link should copy onto the page. When you hit post button you won't see your link, just a picture. I hope this helps.
Steve, Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I'm trying to upload an avatar pic, doesn't give option once I've selected the pic... i'ma nooob!
First, welcome to the club! There is a 10 post "trial period" to cut down on spammers before pics are allowed. Unless the mods are in a good mood.. be patient and get past the trial period and you should be fine!Quote:
