BIG BUG, Uploader.

[Macaroon]

Why can I never make any sense of the "Add Image" thingy when trying to upload images from my computer? I've just spent over an hour ntrying to post 4 images in Member's reviews and Testing, now people say they're not working. The first doesn't work for me but the last three do, after a fashion.

I'm not going to start using a hosting site, I used to be able to upload perfectly from my own machine.........What's wrong?

Once you have opened the 'Insert Image' dialogue box, click the words 'From Computer'.

Click the words 'Choose file', you will then be able to navigate to the location where the file is on your computer.

Once selected, click the words 'Upload File' and bob's your uncle (in theory anyway).

All your links open for me Mac apart from the separate one at the top, where I get the message ..

Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Can anyone else test Sandbender's instructions? I've always used Photobucket

The links seem to work but do not load the little thumbnail picture I usually see.

Yes that works and I see the thumbnail.

Thanks for all the replies folks.

@ sandbender: Yup, that's how I've always done it and it used to work flawlessly, but for the past few months each time I use the uploader it fails to work at least three out of four times; I've pretty much given up on posting piccies, but can you imagine a knife review without them on BcUK?

"...but can you imagine a knife review without them on BcUK? .."

Not going to get many views without one.

It is fine looking tool.

Can't make any sense of this at all - just repeated exactly the same steps four times, no go for the first three, success at the fourth go............Oh well.
