    Same thing here Mike. I've been trying forever.....didn't want to sound like an idiot and ask though. But...since you asked, I'll join in the shame.

    My photos have been too big to insert into messages but I have had no trouble putting photos into the gallery. There are no limits on size of the photos or number of photos. More people need to post their pics there. I often see one interesting photo of something and would like to see more.

    these are just small pictures, I am not trying to upload anything

    It seems the edit features are disabled in box, and will not allow me to link a picture.

    Are you using the quick reply at the bottom? If so, you don't have the option to upload pictures you can only link to them with this --> [​IMG] icon. If you want to upload images to the message you will need to click the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom.

    Hmm are you anywhere there is a picture filter? I had one guy couple days ago with the same issue. He was at his work and they filtered all the images out.

    I'm also using firefox 3 and I can see every image.

    I can see the picture attachments,but they will not open. I log in, and then I can't see the attachments to open them. I'm Foxfire 3.0 if that helps.

    I had Firefox set to allow cookies from minitrucktalk.com but my firewall was blocking cookies from minitrucktalk.com I am using CA personal firewall all I had to do was add minitrucktalk.com to the exceptions list under the privacy tab for cookie control in my firewall to always allow cookies and that solved my problem.

    Hey, pebble. Yea, I read that post of yours. You can make it happen, listen, learn, reconfirm. Given enough time, we can all figure anything out. Even so for this picture stuff. You see how I dragged your post over here...

    How to make a picture work.
    Add infinitum. There are a thousand ways to do anything, this is no exception. A few things to become familiar with:
    File type, file size, file hosting location, local vs global
    Start with the basics and learn from there.

    Here is a place to start from.
    View your picture file in a viewer with an "actual size" button. Like "picture viewer". You want to have an actual "file size" "formated" that is the size of the screen (your computer screen) or smaller. There is no need for bigger, bigger than the screen..right?
    You can do this a few ways, one would be at the time of taking the picture with the use in mind. Snap a few at the different quality settings on your camera. 1STAR, 2STAR, 3STAR etc. then put those on the viewer (on the computer) and view at "actual size"...one of those settings may work for you. #2...you can resize the "actual size" in a simple program like PAINT, very powerful program if you know how to use the "tweeks", it works at the most basic level of pic files, and can also load a pic file as one type...and save it as another...bit to j-peg...always use j-peg.
    Now that the pic fits on your screen, and is of the proper type..j-peg (faster image loads..etc)
    Now you want to "host" it. Basically means to have it out on the net somewhere, where it can be referenced or cashed, by means of a URL, or address. In this example HERE, I have a double host...use the insert image button at the top to upload to the posting page for hosting..that's that little guy down there at the bottom...this will now get auto referenced to your albums section. If you go to manage attachments, you will see it listed there via thumb-nail. This is how you pull up the hosted URL, ether or, but usually I just use the little guy down there, open him in a new tab, and copy the tab URL...cu'z that's where the file is being hosted...come back to the posting, insert image again, this time from URL, local reference (no check)....

    Starting to bore myself now, but hopefully that's enough to get you started, and you can learn some tricks from there...again, there are a thousand ways to do this pic stuff.
