pictures....struggling to upload

any offers on help? basically, when i'm uploading my pics, they are coming up all screwy and black and white

I find it so much easier to upload to a hosting site, I use photobucket, and then share the link from there.

After you have uploaded the photo you click on' share', then 'more options', then 'get link code' and copy and paste the one that says its for forums into the post
also it's much more quickerrrr

hope that helps

I just upload mine straight from facebook. I copy the image address and then attatch it here using the tree icon.
The only downside with facebook is you can't adjust the size once its in facebook.

This might help.

hmmm, i think i must be going mental and doing something wrong!

i am a lego person apparently

So, they are uploading, but the colors are off? Like washed out, almost black and white? Do you use photoshop?

If this is so, it has something to do with how your photos are... This happened to me a few times, and I don't know how to explain, but something about the image being RGB or CMYK not translating the colors right on the web. (I think RGB is good, CMYK is not). Oh, where is my geek when I need him?

So, if all of this sounds familiar... In photoshop, click Image at the top, then Mode, then check the other one and save as a new file and try it.

Okay... take all of that back... I just looked at your images. That's not it!

They are jpeg, right? That would be the first thing I'd double check.

That's funky. I was wondering if it has anything to do with the size of the file? Taking down resolution or image size to the point that it looses some information? Gots me boggled that's for sure!

hahaaaa, i know, crazy looking aren't they!

It is a weird photo... But I have problems too, and have uploaded without trouble earlier... It says my file is either corrupt og too large, and I know it isn't too big, and I don't think it is corrupted because I could upload it to facebook... So weird ...

yes lonnie, exactly what's been happening to me, since the pics which HAVE uploaded have gone all lego like! lol

It looks cool, but not what you want eh? It looks like some kind of special effect is being applied to your photos automatically... as though you have some setting somewhere that does this for you.

I wish I could help more!

I'm having the same trouble as you are. I don't know why because I am able to upload pics to my posts just fine, just not to my gallery.

It is a bit weird then... I can upload the exact same photos to Facebook for example, but just not here... And I used to be able to, I wonder if they changed something?

Very odd indeed!
At least I'm not the only one, but I'm sorry for you guys that are also having problems.
Bizarre, just bizarre!!

Do you use Explorer or Modzilla? I've heard Modzilla can't load pics here.

I use Mozilla, but I am able to load pics in my posts, just not to my gallery.
