Heres your photo.

Some different things need to be right for it to work. I always use file names (the name of your photo) that have NO symbols in them. i.e. no /,!$`~ etc etc

The file name also has to be original. that means that if someone has already posted a photo 2 years ago called "flathead" you can't use it again.

A handy hint here is to add numbers to the end of them. Something like "flathead 1.1111" and "flathead1.2222" etc

Here is a useful link for posting photos click here (http://www.ausfish.com.au/cgi-ausfish/board/YaBB.cgi?board=Chathelp;action=display;num=1074579 208)

File sizes also need to be under 100k. Check this link to see how to resize an image.click here (http://www.ausfish.com.au/cgi-ausfish/board/YaBB.cgi?board=Chathelp;action=display;num=1075561 453)
Do your self a favour and download the program "irfanview". it is very easy to use for all beginners.

One other thing. The file you sent me was in .bmp format. Try changing them to .jpg

Any more questions and I am sure people will help you out.

With irfanview you were well on the way then.

Resize the image to about 500 pixels wide and when you go to save it click "save as". Rename it to something original sounding :-) and make sure the drop down box called "save as type" says "JPG - JPEG Files"

I think the dramas you were having was because the file type was bitmap and not jpg.

Good luck and practice makes perfect :-)
