I just had that problem with multiple uploads from my pc.
It worked fine when I did them one at a time.

When you reply make sure you are in “Advanced” If it says post a “Quick reply” hit “Advanced”

Scroll down below the box you type in and hit “ Manage Attachments” A new box will pop up.

Hit “Browse”

The hit “Upload” and wait a few secs for the pics to up load. Then close this box.
Next you can hit “Preview Post and your pictures should be there.

There is a size limit on pics

could it be that the pics are too big and thats why they won't load?

Oldsguy

I was wondering the same thing. If it isn't that, it could be a browser restriction. Switch from your preferred browser, log in and try it that way.

i went to photo bucket and regstered on ther when i uploaded pics on ther the same way it took 30 minutes to upload , so i think i was clicking out before it ever uploaded,that seems very slow to me , so i am going to reboot my computer ,see if it will work faster, thank all for help ,appreciate it, will.

Sounds like your pictures were in high resolution. That means they could have been 2-4 Megs in size each and that just takes a lot of time to upload, even to photobucket, so restarting your PC is not the answer. Pics that size will simply not upload to CO. The CO site will only allow you to attach 97 kb files. (actually, I've been able to upload as high as 137 kb without much problem). If you want to upload from your "my pictures" file, you'll have to resize the picture for web based viewing and that can reduce its size and quality quite a bit.

Now that you have the photobucket pic / album upload,
1. select the pic you want -
2. copy it -
3 paste it directly into the thread you are viewing.

You will have to have 2 browsers active at the same time to do this: your CO profile; and your photobucket. Just keep going back and forth between browser tabs to copy and paste what you want.

If you want to post an entire album, clik it's URL and upload it as a link to your site. Looking forward to your pics.
