New attach section "no go"

[HARKO]

Hoping someone can shed some light on this problem for me , I've been trying to upload gif images of 10.7 kb to the new attach section of a started new topic -This is well below the specified file size but it will not be exepted (After the first try I am prompted to re-enter for security reasons) and nothing changes thereon .
I have also uploaded images to my starphoto album but this doesnt seem to accept (gif )images at all
So how do you do it Craig ? Your ability astounds me .
Hope someone can help ?

PEBCAK at your end  It works for me.

PEBCAK ? Hidden code or a run on the virtual drag strip - 230wpm ,For anyone else who has troubles - A gif image doesnt show up in a preview ,But if posted theres no problem ..

PEBCAK is geek speak used by Tech Support people.  It stands for "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard".  Kind of like "Nut behind the wheel".

I don't think attachments show in Previews at all - GIF, JEPG or whatever.

Guys,

I've pulled the plug on GIF attachments - our disk space is just filling up too fast, and so I made an executive decision that the animated GIFs had to go.

If you want to include them in your posts, please link to the original wherever you found it on the internet, rather than uploading them here.

Thanks,
