Mule72,
Attachments must be of the file types: doc,gif,jpg,jpeg,pdf,png,txt if you have a different file type, let me know what that is.
Maximum file size is 1MB or 1024 KB. If your image is larger, please reduce the size with image editing software before uploading. Here is an article discussing how with links to free software and web sites to help:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/digitalimaging/f/howreducesize.htm The maximum total upload per post is 3MB or 3072KB. And a maximum of 4 images can be uploaded at once.
These measures help us keep the disk space usage on our server to a reasonable level. This is a free site but it costs me money out of pocket to run it. (cause I love you guys...)
We PREFER you to use other alternatives such as to setup a gallery of the images on a free site such as Picassa (now called
Google Plus Photos),
Flickr (my favorite and you can link to your Flickr gallery from your profile here on the board), or
Dropbox (my second favorite, which also allows you to backup other files in the "Cloud" for free) . Once you have your images setup on one of those free sites, you just link to it from your posts here... or embed the image from their server directly into the post such as this:
