Trying to post

[richard.selwyn]

Not sure if this is in the right spot, but I've tried to post a message twice with an attched image and each time I must have done something wrong as all I get is a blank screen with:
http://festoolownersgroup.com/member-projects/?action=post2;start=0
in the header.

Any guidance would be appreciated

Ive had that.  It was when i tried to attach photos.  Forrest sorted it & attached the photos for me but im still not sure what i was doing wrong.  I think Forrest is on holiday but if you PM Peter i am sure he will keep you right.

You need to have text in both the Subject box and the Message box.  Other than that, have you checked out either the How Do I Insert Photos into a Post and/or the Using the Insert Inline Image Feature?

Another issue you may be having is a timeout because the photos you are attempting to attach are too large and the forum software takes additional time to reduce those attachments.  If this is the case, you may be better off to create a new folder on your computer to store photos that you want to attach here, and resize your photos as you move them from their original folder to this new folder.  This way, when you attach your photos from this folder the forum software will not need to spend the time to resize you photos and you should not have the timeout problem.

Richard, like Corwin says, it can happen when your picture is to big. Try to keep your pictures around 125 kb.

It also helps if you chant... "FESTOOL RULES"... while uploading... but that might just be my issue. Good luck.
