How many posts are required before you can post pictures?

there's none as far as I know - I think someone else had this problem tho - let me see what I can find out

sorry you are having trouble

If your photo is stored on your computer, you can post it using the attachment button above the text box

Are you trying to link to a photo sharing site, or upload to Orchid Board?

In the classifieds section ? When I start going thru the steps to post an ad, in the 'new listing information' area, there is an 'upload image' option with a 'choose file' button

I would read that more as a message that you can only include a certain number of pictures in each post, rather than that you need to make a certain number of posts first.

I may be wrong, but that's how I read it.

There IS a limit on the number of pictures attached to a post, it's 10. I didn't know there was a limit on the number you can link to, but there could be. Try posting just one picture first, then see if you can put more on next time and if you get the message again try removing them one at a time until it lets you post.

It also sounds like there are 'forbidden words' which can't be in the file name. I don't know what those might be, but try renaming the files if you still have no luck.

I'm having trouble uploading photos in the classified section. Each time I try to attach an image from my pc it gives me an error. Any tips here? Thanks!

The most likely cause is generally that the file size is too big. Have you tried shrinking it?
