trying to post an image

[bdodds]

I've heard good things about Firefox, but I use IE6 because I also build my own website, and I want to be able to make sure my website will work properly for the majority of users... who also use IE. If the majority of webmasters do as I do, then most websites should also work properly if I use IE, provided they are programmed properly.

You should start building websites that are based on the internet CSS standards and not IE 6... IE 6 may currently look like it's the browser of choice, but it's lead is falling fast. In fact IE 6 may not be the leader anymore at all. Most other web browser user agents are misleading the stats by lying and making themselves look like they are IE 6, so that they can gain access to the sites that would not let them in otherwise.

All websites should be based on the standard CSS code and not MS IE 6. IE 6 is a major security risk to all that choose to use it.

I use Firefox and the upload does not work. Do you need a certain port on the router open to post?

[Darwin Skinner]

I use Netscape 7 and it seems to work as looking at Tim O'Donnell post above
I post it from Chief-Udraw in yohoo Groups
and this on also is from



Just open the jpeg picture & right click on it & copy the Location to insert Image as

Darwin,

We know that works. We're trying to upload to the Chief server. Right click on Tim's images and see where they are located.

JPG will not upload???

We also have to manually add the ATTACH tags here to get the images to show in the forum... With all of the other vBulletin forums that I use, images are seen automatically...

Tim:

firewalls are less of an issue when doing dial-ups.

Broadband is "always on" and your IP address remains static and can be seen by the "world".

When I had a HD failure last year I connected to web before I re-installed Norton and within minutes I was buried in viruses and pop-ups. Now I install Norton first before I attemp to connect to web.

JPG and JPEG will not upload???

test image is a gif

Gif images are much harder to make fit the 100k limit. PhotoShop works wonders on JPG images.

We also have to manually add the ATTACH to get the images to show in the forum... With all of the other vBulletin forums that I use, images are seen automatically...

the [attach] tags are placed automatically for me when I attach images...if you use the dropdown imenu/icon at the top of the advanced reply option...but gifs definately work better for some reason... I have attached 100kb gif's w/o trouble, and smaller files of all image types..with both ie6 and mozilla

Looks like Brian is the third person that can attach from the forum. Wish I knew their secret.

OK, Tim,

I follow your steps, and when I browse and select a picture, it works:



But when I click upload, I get this:



And since it is blank, it goes no farther.

i am well aware of that...you can also turn off/disconnect your cable modem when you are not using it, so it is not always on and open for port scans......that is a very sure way way

i also have not used AV software for more than two years...and will never again use norton...it messed up every system i have ever had it on...i think i would rather deal with a virus than that...i let my ip provider deal with viruses...so far they have done a good job of it...and then if one stays away from risky sites, doesn't open unsolicited emails, doesn't use ie/oe..the risk truly is minimal

linux box+ mozilla+ turn off the connect.... works for me

Louis, I couldn’t get it to work at all with the Attachment as a jpeg file.
The upload page just goes bank and no file
but I was able to upload a zip file I use Netscape
I will try with an other browser
