gmpullmanHave you tried uploading the image to Flickr? (I thought you had a Flickr account?)
Yes. I have tried Flickr, Drop Box and Imgur. Same results each time.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
hon30critterThanks for your help.
Help? Hardly...
Now, if you are trying to post the layout drawing, be sure it is in a .jpg format.
I've used several drawing programs and sometimes you have to use an "export" function in order to save the drawing as a "photo". Autocad is like this, it saves as a .dxf file not .jpg.
The Dropbox site usually only works if the "recipient" is also a registered Dropbox user. Anybody else gets a "please sign in" window.
These are just random thoughts...

Hope you get it squared away. I share your frustration! I awoke to two computers acting all haywire. Took me an hour-and-a-half on each one to get things back to semi-normalness.
Good Luck, Ed
Hi Ed:
Thanks for your help. I just tried to use imgur and I got the same result - no picture. That's three photo hosting sites that I can't post from. Could it be something in my settings? I haven't messed with any settings for a long time. I'm going to re-boot my computer (as opposed to re-booting my rear end) and see what happens.
Edit: I rebooted the computer and nothing has changed. Now I'm really frustrated!!!
hon30critterCan you tell me what photo hosting site you are using?
Just hover your mouse over the image and the link will appear in your browsers url address bar:

Hi Antonio:
Thanks for responding. Can you tell me what photo hosting site you are using?

Don't know what to say, here is a pic from the dreaded PB,
I have the $14. a year "no ad" thing from PB, we'll see if that changes, not sure when the renwal date is.

Hello, Dave
It seems to me that the whole internet is screwy lately, maybe the past two-weeks or so.
IMG_6762_fix by Edmund, on Flickr
About half the time I try to upload or access a photo at Flickr the site is down and I get a Yahoo apology... we are trying to address the problem — we will be right back.
Most days the MB Klein, Modeltrainstuff site is V - E - R - Y slow. Taking a minute or more just to go from one page to another. Are the ISPs or servers fighting off cyber-hackers and viruses?
I hope it stabilizes soon. I have been dealing with Windows "critical updates" that leave my machines in disarray. Just today I had to deal with cleaning up two failed "updates" that left everything acting wonky. I had to go back a few days and use the recovery tools.
I did look at your plan uploaded to Dropbox and everything looked fine there.
So far my copy > paste works fine for Flickr.
There! Can you tell what mood I'm in?
Is anyone else having trouble posting pictures currently? I have been trying for a couple of hours to post an image and I can't get it to work properly.
FYI, I have read the instructions on how to post a photo several times and I think I am following the procedure. I made sure that the file format was jpeg. I can paste the URL into the 'Edit Image' drop down window. I have tried using both Flickr and Drop Box. No photo!
Just to add insult to injury, I managed somehow to get the 'Broken Image' icon to show up in the post, and when I right click on that I can open the image in a new tab or a new window. Don't ask me how I got the Broken Image icon to show up. I haven't a clue.
Thanks
