If you save a piccy to your PC you can upload it as normal. Same with Avatars as barmisspah? was trying to do.
Otherwise you are posting a link to the picture that is hosted elsewhere on the ineternet. It works for me.
I don't quite understand what BM is on about;
Demo:
Piccy of my Great Aunt, scanned from the original, save on my desktop and now posted here.
What Barman is on about is this....
If you remember, a short while ago this site was hacked and a virus inserted.
We discovered that the culprit had uploaded an avatart with code attached which compromised the security of the board.
After re-installing the entire board and database we made a decision that no avatarts could be uploaded by users. They have to be hosted elsewhere like Photobucket for instance.
It doesn't however affect the 'uploading' of images as they are also hosted elsewhere.
Capishe?
