You should be right to upload pictures. There was a restriction (default) that has been removed by Creech.

The other thing you can do is check your ISP webpage. Most ISPs have 100mb of webspace per user. All you need to do is read up on their configuration page, and use an FTP client like Filezilla to upload your restore pictures. Then, link the pictures from your posts.

Hope that helps.. Try upload here first.

Great progress on the Surf Champ. When I was a child, Dad used to give away pinballs, as no one wanted them when the videos took over. Dad asked me for a list of my good friends, and they all received Pinball machines...This was around 1981 - 1984.. I can't recall.

I'd love the surfer back in my collection - I'll be watching this thread with interest  #*#

You need to click the "Additional Options" link on the bottom left when posting. Then click the "Browse" tab and select the photo you want to add. If the size is too big (limit is 256KB), you can easily "edit" with paint, save at 50% which will reduce a 1 meg standard photo to 100 odd KB. Experts probably know what is best, but that works for me.

Maximum attachment size allowed: 256 KB, per post: 4

So looks like 4 x 256 = 1024

Hey cardwhiz, you can email me the pics at tcardone@tpg.com.au and I will put them up for you.

For everyone else, I have increased the size limit to 1024Kb per attachment and 4096Kb in total attachments per post.
