Trouble attaching photos

I'm hving trouble attaching photos. Even though the files I want to attach are under the 175 KB limit, I'm getting the following message:

"Cannot access attachments upload path!"

Any ideas what might be the problem?

Looks like a server setting issue.

Can you put them in your gallery & link to them?

Photo Posting Lesson?

Is there a link somewhere that explains attaching pictures on this site?

Tried several times now and it's been a PITA. Got the files small enough, then got hit with errors that may have been a server problem.

Also - looks like you can only attach two, but I've seen posts with several. How is that done?

Thanks!
 
once you have the image file size less than 300 kb:

1. click gallery link in the top navigation
2. click upload
3. enter the path to the file
a. if you are uploading a file from your computer use the browse button under file uploads
b. if you are uploading a file from the web enter the full URL
example: http://www.mysite.com/images/example.jpg
4. press continue at the bottom
5. you should get a confirmation page that says Successful Uploads X uploads were successful
6. press continue to place them into an album
7. select the album to which you want to add the picture to the other fields are not required
8. press continue
9. repeat steps 7 and 8 for each file
10. you should then get confirmation that all files were placed successfully

it doesn't seem to like & symbol in the image name if you are using URL uploads but it works fine if doing a file upload
 
Ok, I have progress. I've managed to get some pix into an Album. But I still can't get them into the posting. The error is that the file is too large and cannot exceed 175kb.

Are there two different file requirement sizes - one for Gallery and one for posting?

Also, only see two pix per posting possible. No more than that?

Most people who put pictures in posts use the
Code:
[img]http://url/blahblahblah.jpg[/img]
method.

In order to do that you go to your gallery.

Click on your picture to make it the "center of attention".

Right click on it and choose Properties.

The URL is displayed there in the properties box. Cut that and paste it (in its entirety) between the img tags as shown above.

You can put as many pictures as you'd like in a post that way.

HTH.
 
Aw! Baby Monkey is so cute! :D

Ok, so to get more pix in the posting, do I just put a comma after each URL to get multiples?
