When replying there's a line below where I'm typing this now that reads "Additional Options..." with a black arrow.  Click on it to reveal some stuff.

The two "Browse..." buttons allow you to add two files at a time as attachments to your message.  If you're doing this already then the only reason I can think of that they're not showing is because maybe they're too big?  There's a limit of 300KB and there's also a list of file types that are permitted.

Hi Zeb,
Yes I was doing all of that, and the image size was reduced for file size, it just kept saying the upload file was full and to refer to a moderator! It can't just be me because Fitty was getting the same message and she is whizz at the techy stuff, you should see what she's done to the photograph since I sent her the higher resolution scan, - amazing.

Zeb,  The web Cache is full and untill Trystan gets back we can't post pics till he clears it.

He's busy moving house, so we've got to be a little patient.   He's probably lost in bubble wrap or somthing  lol

The upload file size issue has now been addressed.  You should have no problem putting pictures on now.
