I read the sticky post on how to post pics, and I have followed that step-by-step, but all I end up with in my post is what looks like an empty box.  Is life just an empty box? Anyway, can someone give me a bit of advice on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks.

You uploaded the photo to 2ndlight server?

Yes. When I go to the Add Attachments page, I can tap on the box displayed and see that I have several pictures uploaded. Then I go to my message and select the Photo button, I enter the url for the forum directory (this was in the Posting Pics sticky) with my picture file added to the end of the url. I hit insert, and then all I see pop up in my message is a empty box???

i also tried using Photobucket and uploading the pic from there, but get the same result.

What I do is take the first part of the link and then put in the name of the photo with .JPG extension


"http://www.2ndlight.com/fusetalk/attachments/xxxx.JPG"

where you replace xxxx with the name of the photo

I’ll see if I can post using your full url.

well, that worked.  I’ll try to do the same thing on the other posting that I want to add a pic to, and see if I’m successful. Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I see that the forum directory that you used is different from the one given in the “definitive Guide to posting pics” post that I was following. Guess that post was not that definitive.

Am still having problems. Now, when I try to upload some pics (.jpg files), it is telling me that the files are not the type allowed.
