I have been unable to upload pictures to the Forum for the past few days, denying everyone of some very insightful images. I upload the picture, but then it has a red “x” next to it with no other explanation of what is wrong. I’ve made sure that the it has the required jpeg, jpg, etc. extension. Is anyone else having this problem?

Since this is not just limited to me, can we get some help or guidance from the Forum’s Internet wizards?

I let Tim Kelley know about the issue yesterday am. He said he was looking into it.

I use a photo hosting website – imgur.com works very well and is free.

It looks like the image uploading feature is working again!

Everything should be fixed. We ran out of our allotted space on the server so had to buy a larger hosting package.

Sorry, budgets are tight, we might have to install an anti-puppy picture plugin if this continues…

Whenever possible, people should be using a hosting service like imgur. Flickr makes it really easy to embed photos, too. I’d rather Bike Arlington be able to spend its money on bike advocacy rather than larger hosting packages.

Am curious about costs — cloud storage like Amazon S3 is dirt cheap. If vbulletin weren’t so uptight about showing pics to registered users, it should be cheap & easy to offload image storage and web delivery to Amazon.

I think this was why ~~I screwed up the bike tag game~~ my bike tag 2nd post didn’t go through. I feel vindicated.
