I cannot post photos here. I’m sure this has happened very recently. I go through the usual procedure and it appears that it’s going to work until I post but the accompanying text appears without the attached photo. I’ve had to delete a few posts because the whole point was to show a photo. Is it just me or has the site thrown a bit of a wobbly?

I can see my pic above which I've hotlinked from google images.
One thing to check. To the right of the "post a reply" screen, under the smilies, check it says "BBCode is ON" and " [img ] is ON".
Below the post area in the options tab, make sure "Disable BBcode" is un-ticked

Let's hope it's a glitch

I do get an error when i try to upload one to the site. A little yellow triangle appears next to the image name in the upload attachment box which pops up an error message when clicked "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again."

I don't know which web browser people are using, but I notice that Firefox wouldn't let me see a picture someone had posted on the US forum. Went to view it in Chromium (an open-source version of Google Chrome) and the picture displayed OK.
Can't see your picture at the moment Dai, I'm back in Firefox.
Use of a photo hosting web site usually works, try something like Post Image and re-size the picture to 640x480. Otherwise uploading the picture as an attachment here is usually OK if the file size is not too big.
