It will be down to the size of your photos being too large.

You are better off using a free service such as photobucket.com to upload photos and then sharing them.

As well as a maximum file size of 2 MBs you need to be careful with the file name as myfreeforums can throw a wobbly with spaces & some alphanumeric characters as well. So use a simple filename and no spaces.

Here is the filename from one of your recent images in the Gallery that worked.

I've found in the past as well as spaces they do not like the use of ? / etc.

Another way of tackling this is to take something like Photoshop (or one of its free clones) to reduce the original image size to 600-800 pixels wide, and use the "Save for Web" option with a simple file name, and KNOW WHERE YOU'VE PUT THEM - most important, this. Most of my pictures are saved for one or other of my Web sites, so have simple names like "jcoach1" so I know where to find them. After that, the upload process should be dead easy! Whatever you do, save the altered file somewhere other than where you put the original - then you've still got the high quality original.
