I tried to add a photo to my album (newly created album) this morning, but I could not.

I kept getting told that it must be in GIF/JPEG/PNG format. Those are the three format I tried to upload.

(Also, related to this, I need help in figuring out how to put a graphic into my sig.).

Thanks in advance.

A few things.

1) if you are actually uploading those types in FF it does work, but the message shows up anyways. You just need to go back to your album and it will be there.

2) if they are too big (i almost think 2MB is the limit) it will display that message too, or possibly a generic "error" message.

3) Once you have an image uploaded, just go to the edit screen and click the icon that looks like a tree. Then paste the URL in there. From there you can drag the corner to resize while keeping correct ratios. Either that or you could use [ IMG] [ /IMG] tags and just put the URL in those.

use opera or firefox. internet explorer cant do uploads on vgchartz

Well, it turns out the photos are there -- I think.
There are 4 photos in my album, but I can't get to them. I just see are broken link indicators with dots continually rotating around them.
At this same time, a lot of pix seem to not be appearing on the site and I got blasted with NSFW pop-ups (luckily my door was shut).

well, it is a good thing I have ad-block and no-script configured properly to only allow what is legitimate on this website. Pretty much everything else is blocked.

As for those pictures, you may have to upload them again, but who knows. I do know that brett took the IM offline a few hours ago, and more things seem to be going down.

I saw Brett's message of the crash. That explained it. My pix were lost in it (I hope they didn't cause it).

Thanks for your help -- for it did work.
