Cant insert photo

[TomG]

I know this might not be the best place for this but...I can not load a picture into a post. I was only sucessful once. I resized, hit the paper clip, go to my photo album then I get an x in where the photo should be. Help?

I had trouble too, It is probably a problem with the file name..try right clickeng on the photo and "renaming" it before you post..name it something simple with no spaces like..cigarpen1 or something..alot of photo resizing programs add blank spaces that dont work in the post..I hope this helps you

In general, for best compatibility file names should be alpha-numeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and the underscore (_) character. So something like This_is_a_Good_name_v58.jpg would be fine. Dashes and spaces "sometimes" work, but not always.
