Why do I keep getting this message "upload failed" when I try to post a picture Im using my iPad and do the manage attachment route, it works on other sites I frequent.

cant host pictures on the forum at the min. upload them somewhere else i.e. photobucket or even facebook then copy the image address from there and insert that between the [ img ]

Been trying to copy the photobucket link but photobucket won't let me copy my link it keeps skipping to the side of the link so I can't copy paste. Is it me or what. While I'm here is there any news on our site getting sorted so we can post directly.

Offsite hosting is better for the forum

It results in less bandwidth being used by this forum, which means it is cheaper.

And this site is free, so it needs to be kept as cheap as possible

I'll speak with the webmaster and see if we can just remove the facility that says you can upload an image

In the meantime:

use imgur or some such and post the image link between [_img_] [_/img_] tags

Remove the underscores to make it work

The last thing I want to do is feck around with the site admin. I know it's sometimes a thankless job keeping a site running so keep up the good work lads.
