Help with the forums

Hey guys. I know these questions have probably been asked a thousand times, but I'm getting irriatated and can't find any help!

I am having all kinds of problems uploading photos. I can only figure out how to upload a photo for my signature (and its tiny). It won't let me upload pictures to an album, it sits and trys for a while and then says a "Security Token is Missing."

And I can't figure out how to just put a picture on a thread like so many people do just to share quick.

I would like to figure this out because I have some great pictures of my truck that I would like to share on some of the threads and I don't know how to upload pictures.

Again, I know this has probably been asked a thousand times, but I can't figure it out. Any advice would be great, I would like to share my truck with everyone! Especially after I did some work on it this last weekend!

First, I will need to move this to Questions About the Site. Secondly, the reason that the pics won't load, they are too large. You need to reduce them some. There is free photo reducing software on the net, just do a search. Welcom to the site!

The quickest way I found to re-size for upload is just right click on photo/ open with MS Paint/ Click file and save/replace it back to your desktop or where ever. Done. Now upload it to your gallery on this site. It will take it every time, - that hasn't failed yet
