Hi Phil,
Am having problems downloading pictures as an attachmant from my pictures file in my computer.Have no problems e-mailing them but when I try to attach them on thre web-site and then submit the message I get the 'the page cannot be dislpayed' message on my screen.It also mentions 'cannot find server or DNS Error'....any ideas ?

Thats a standard IE error message you're getting...can you explain exactly how you are attempting to attach the pictures?

Ok...typing my message and then going to 'add an attachment'......then browse into my pictures file and then select a picture by double clicking it and then submitting it.That's when the problem happens...text only is fine ! Any ideas ? Tks

Like this ?

Click add attachment...browse to the file...then click the second add attachment....then click post.

There's a size limit to attachments...and also a set of allowed file extensions (.jpg/.gif etc)

Ok will give it a go....tks

I think the pictures (photos from a mobile phone..) are too big : 1280 x 960 JPEG Image 597 kb for example
Any ideas how to overcome this...sorry but computers are not my strong points.....

Ahh...yeah..could well be...I can't remember the size limit off the top of my head...maybe 512kb.

You can resize them with a paint type program on your PC...paintshop pro or similar...I think microsoft have a free resizer actually...try a google search for "free jpg resizer"

Image Resizer from Microsoft Powertoys

Tks,getting there slowly

Success ! All I needed to do was to reduce the size of the pictures.Rockin & rollin now.Cheers for the advise.
