What option are you using to upload? 1 or 2? and what happens, does the progress bar just freeze up or what? If you use option 2 and copy the URL from your web page it doesn't matter what size the pic is because it's not hosted on the C.O. server - you're just linking it to the web page. That's how I had to install my sig pic. The C.O. server won't handle the animation so the pic is actually coming from a link to my photobucket acct.
What you can try in the meantime to see if the problem is with high resolution is go to the picture you're trying to upload and resize it with your picture editor. Choose 'Web Large" and then 'ok'. Go back and see if that works. Are you using a dial up or high speed modem?

Im using the upload feature, I guess I could upload to a webpage and link URL but I thought a pic way under size and pixels would have worked.
The weather was 40+ here on east coast so I took the cutlass for a spin, feel much better so the laptop is safe

I'm glad you had a chance to drive your car today. I'm somewhat envious. The weather here was about 33° but the roads are crap with all the sand and rocks. Not taking my car out in that stuff.
The pic I'm inserting here is from 'My Pictures' and originally exists as 2048X1536 and is 896 kb in size. The server will 'modify it to fit'. The other thing you might want to to when you're in 'manage attachements' is go full screen so you can see the progress bar during the upload. You might be thinking the upload isn't happening just because there is no 'instant' reaction when you hit upload?
EDIT: I just compared our 2 posts. Yours shows an 'attached image'. Mine shows an attached thumbnail. Suggest you try going advanced, select the 'paper clip' which will open the opton for attaching larger thumbnail pics. Give that a try ok?
