      I have a dialog box but it only shows one tab which is the URL tab. The “From Computer” is missing?

      I have tried powering off my laptop and restarting it and tried to send an image to a different member to see weather that caused the problem, but nothings working? I can’t get that “From Computer” tab up on my laptop?

      I just got that image from my browser before posting here for you. mmmm, can you try a different browser? It shouldn’t be image dependent, unless maybe the resolution is too high… Whats the file size?

      I can’t even get as far as resolution? I use Google Chrome.

      I’m fairly certain it was a file or image size problem… but we’ll see.

      Each image was 2MB and 45″ x 25.6″ in size… I reduced size to 12″ wide and about 500kb ea in photoshop.

      that looks like a browser issue IMO, the site wont know what size file it is till he selects it

      Oh damn, I get the issue now… its because you are trying to send the image by a PM… In PM’s you cant make a choice of anything other than a direct link… thats the issue.

      BUT the file sizes still would have been too large to attach

      OK, worked out a way to do it, Used the public forum uploader.
      Uploaded the picture and then copied the attachment link. Then deleted it from the public forum uploader without actually posting.

      Opened up a second window to the Private message section and pasted the attachment, then sent it. It Worked.

      Happy Days.

      Well I could do it a couple of days ago no problem, but now, if I try to upload an image from my computer via hitting the Upload Image icon on the VOA tool bar it is not allowing me? Its just saying upload URL.

      The image icon used to say Upload an image and gave you the choice of uploading an image from your computer using a basic uploader or switching to a URL? For some reason I am not seeing the choice? It takes me to URL only?

      Thanks.

      Note: I do not want to load the image up onto a host website as it contains personal information for another member
