Trying to upload a photo, but keep getting a failed error, What am I missing? It's in jpg.
If your trying to upload using the sites attachment, there can be several reason usually it's because theres a size limit.
Your better off using this method.
This will show how to insert a picture in your post using the "insert image" and a image url.
(I use this method mostly, because using the attachments option has a size limit)
First upload your image to a image hosting service (there are several free one's like postimg.org).
once uploaded copy the "Direct link" of the image location. It will look something like this:
http://s5.postimg.org/m9qqmnxc7/insertimageicon1.jpg
Now when you go to make your post, in the editing window find the "Insert Image" icon and click on it.
http://s5.postimg.org/m9qqmnxc7/insertimageicon1.jpg
this will open the "insert image" dialog
http://s5.postimg.org/600kjrmo7/insertimageicon2.jpg
Click on the "from url" tab
Then paste the direct link you copied in the url box
uncheck the "retrieve" box
If everything looks ok, then click ok.
A link similar to this will appear in your post, where ever you had the insert cursor in your post.
http://s5.postimg.org/m9qqmnxc7/insertimageicon1.jpg
now when you post your message, the picture will appear in your post.
Faster method:
Just type the image tags paste picture url here inbetween these tags
