Expecting Rain

Why when i post a picture does it come out as a clickable link, with an ugly brown bar across the top that announces "Attachments:", and why is the name of the file visible below with a tally of how many times it's been viewed? ("out-of-sight.jpg [ 100.66 KiB | Not viewed yet ]")

When I try to post a picture, I always get "Your image may only be up to 480 pixels high" - no matter how small I make it. I don't understand how some people post such huge pictures - ?
doomed

That too!!!

You get that when you upload an image from your computer. If you upload that image to the web, on a site like photobucket or imageshack, and it is in the required size or smaller, you just click [Img] above and put the image link between the brackets. That should post the picture.

Thanks Johanna, I've set up a Photobucket account and am a much happier camper in gen'ral. Had no idea so many editing tools were available within the browser. Thank you!
This is still a bit of a mystery!

I'm a lot more literate now when it comes to image management online - but still seem strictly limited by the 480x640 dimensions. And GIFs! Ai Karumba!

i've been trying to post an image to ER from Image Shack and get the following error message:

It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
