Posting problems

[mshel]

Tried to make a post with a couple pics and got a msg that I had used 2279302 characters and should reduce to 2000. I am sure I didn't use over 2 million characters in this post. Any ideas as to what is going on?

Weird to be sure.

Please try replying to this thread and insert one picture as a test.

Jim,

I tried to reply to your post using the same pics as I had tried to post however again I got the same error msg. I'm thinking that the reason might be is I am trying to copy and paste the pictures and the system doesn't like that. I'll try and do it differently and see if it works.

Ah, you got the answer.

Pics can only be linked to, either from our Photo Gallery or an external website.

Pasting pics into a post, as you discovered, makes for a really large post.

Thanks,
