Well, it could be you are trying to upload a file of an unacceptable format.

The best way to display photos is to use a free service like Photobucket. You can upload your photo's there and then utilize links, etc., from Photobucket to post your photo's on Forums, eMail, etc.

Also, here's a Tutorial Mike posted here on the Forum back in '07 that may be helpful for you:

After you click on the above link, you may have to scroll to the top of the thread and begin with Mike's No. 1 post.

It really is more functional to just host your photos someplace else, all together, and then link to them when you want to post on a forum or whatever. Flickr is nice, but if you use it a lot it costs like $20 a year; Picasa (Google's service) is free I think, but probably has some other limitations. Either one is easy to use and then you have control over your photos.

Also, depending on what software you use to manage photos on your computer, you can often upload right to these services from that software. I use iPhoto (in macOS) for my day-to-day photo stuff and it works great for this.
