What's the trick to uploading a photo from your computer to this website so you can post it in a message? Everytime I open the photo and click upload I get a message that simply says"upload failed"

Used to be the photo had to be on a photo hosting site like photobucket. That may have changed though. Been many years since I uploaded a photo.

Your pic is most likely too big, pixel-wise, to post as an "attachment." Try downsizing it, if you can, to the smallest pixel number available on your puter.

John, I tried that and they would then post. However due to the smaller size you can't see any detail and I can see no way of making it better. See my two posts under the classified for sale section
Dave -
Not sure what the "smaller size" you refer to actually is. Seems that how attachments show up in a thread vary somewhat. Sometimes when there is a very small attachment ( pic ) shown, if you click on the pic, it will magically enlarge, or come up as a separate windown.
After I had issues with photobucket.com and stopping using that service, I did post a few pix via the attachment system, but the results were so unpredictable that I just gave up on it.
Anyway, it is unfortunate that the attachment thing for photos was so primitive way back when and never got updated so it could be used simply with consistent results.
