Please, can someone explain in simple, non-tech language how I attach a jpg image (stored in my computer, not on a website) to the matter I am posting? I click the 'Browse button' and get the file reference into the box, but the image doesn't get attached to the message. So what am I not doing?
Help, please.

Well, that should do it..
Unless perhaps the file is too big (must be under 200 kilobyte)

I'm sorry, towr, it does not do it. I tried again -- the jpg image is only 6.57 kb, and I tried yet again and did not get it in the preview, and not in the post either -- so I removed it. Trying here again-
My picture (it is in the attach box now, but do I give a ref. here inside the message, pinpointing the location, and if so how?)
E:\Documents and Settings\psk\My Documents\My Pictures\A0337.jpg
Let's see if anything happens
-------------------
ps: Nothing happened.So what am I not doing?

Well, I think the best I can do is just give an example of what I do.. (and this is it, pressing post should do it now)

Hi Methuselah!
You cannot preview your image, you can only post it. If you click Browse and select an image, then click Preview, your image and the reference to it is lost on the preview page.
Does that make sense?
Try making a post now... Click Browse, locate the image on your computer, after clicking OK/Open, click Post and hopefully that should do it.
What I do sometimes when creating my post is preview it so that the text part is correct, once I am happy, and before I click the Post button, I attach the image.

Trying now -- I didn't re-attach the image after pre-viewing, though I saw the info disppeared from the attach box. If you see me below, it means I got it right this time. Thanks every one.

I see I had to register to get the attachments button to display. But I thought I had already registered here but sure can't remember what variation of my name I used.

You uploaded
?
In which case I'd say the board script uploaded the image with lowercase extension (gif iso GIF). The problem occurs because the same replacement isn't made elsewhere plus the fact the server is case sensitive (despite the fact that I'm pretty sure that's against the webstandard)
The solution is of course to make sure the extention is lowercase.

Thanks, towr. I tried to attach the "right" case picture, but didn't succeed. Seems my configuration gets worse and worse...

That's what we'd all like to know..
It might be as simple as new attachment getting the wrong permissions when uploaded, then again it could be something more sinister.

I took Sir_Col's advice when posting a problem but I got the error message that the file could not be uploaded because it exceeded the server's capacity by "-1 kilobytes"! The file was a .gif file of about 2.5 kilobytes. Couldn't attach it here either. Same error message.

The directory that the attachments are saved in has a size limit, which it has reached. Until William comes up with a solution, local attachments are no longer possible.
The only way you are going to be able to post an image is to put it on some other site and then link to it here using the [img]your url here[/img] tags.

If you want to talk about problems, I am very lonely, I drink, I have no friends, I am unemployed, I have schizophrenia and I like riddles. Either than that, why do I have to log in over and over again? There is an option to stay logged in all the time, but it obviously does not work. Would someone like to fix this? And if not, why not?

You sound like The Man Who Fell to Earth, except that he also complained about his pink champagne. 
By the way, if you are lonely this is not the best thread to post in.

The "always logged in" feature requires a cookie on your machine to work. Every time you clear the cookies off your machine, you will have to log in again. (Your machine must be accepting the cookies, or else every time you changed screens, you would be logged back out - that happened to me once, and it was quite annoying until I found out what was going on.)
You probably have some utility that clears cookies automatically. If so, you will need to read up on it to figure out how to get it to leave the wu forums cookie alone.

I just reinstalled Windows ME, and no such luck regarding logging in. Here are my IE settings regarding cookies:
Internet Options, Security, Custom Level:
Allow cookies that are stored on your computer: ENABLED
Allow per-session cookies (not stored): ENABLED
So what gives? Is it possible that winamp is responsible for my above troubles? If so, I will sentence it to 10 years in maximum-security cyber prison.
