All you have to do is after "Start a New Post" is go to the bottom and click on Manage Attachments. Then select the pictures on your computer to attach. You can attach 6 or 7 if you keep selecting Manage Attachments down the list. After selecting all your pictures, just click Upload.

Also make sure your pictures are not to large for the site to take.

This problem appears on a very regular basis. The problem is nearly always picture file size is too large. I, like others also experienced the problem when I first tried to load pictures. The problem seems to be that when the uploads fail there is no reason given and the poster is left wondering what is going on.
Now, I'm not a computer geek so I don't know how difficult it would be to add a message when the upload fails that explains the file size is to large and add a tool to reduce the file size or maybe a link or instructions to do so.
It sure would reduce the frustration for new members.

If you make sure that the picture format is jpeg then it will load. You can convert any picture format to jpeg if its on your computer or scan it to your computer. Any good photo program has that feature.

Not correct.!! A Jpeg picture will not upload unless it conforms to the size requirements which is a picture that does not exceed 585kb or 800x600 pixel in size.

I say, buy a 1TB hard drive and lift the size requirements.

Consider this:
1. A terabyte drive can hold about 1,000,000 photos
2. A 1TB hard drive costs $53
3. At an upload rate of 200 photos per day, it would take 13 years to fill it
