On the screen where you type your post there is the *Additional Options* on the botton left, then you just have to find what picture you want on your pc, browse and attach.

You must be using a picture file not supported on this forum.

I do get the *session timed out* sometimes also, but after i try again it works.

But you still need to look at what files types are supported here.

Make sure the image is not bigger than 150kb as well.  The board has a file size limit.

Use jpegs. As in 'CoolPic.jpg'. If you are using XP, your version of paint will be able to save in this format.

You need to set your folder options to NOT 'hide extensions for known types'. It seems to me you had similar problems with rar files that were actually zips.

Paint can handle many file types and just about any file can be edited in wordpad.

Make sure you have pop-ups allowed for this site.  As the attaching a picture is done in the popup window,
