AOL! Do people still use it? I'm on Firefox 3.6. Will give IE a go.

Have just used IE. It said I'd uploaded an image of 0.86Mbyes (which is what it is) and then gave me an error stating:The attachment is too big. Maximum size: 1024 KB. Attachment size: 1445 KB So, have reduced the quality even more

Got there in the end. So, the lesson is:Don't use Firefox 3.6Make the image no more than 500kB, not the 1,024 that the system states.

Firefox doesn't work here for pics - seems to be IE or nowt!! There may be something to help in here, for info:http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Mess ... readID=137

That rules out about 25% of UK web-users then!(I'm ignoring anyone daft enough to use AOL!).

Just one of the foybles of Secret Leeds - just as you think you've mastered understanding how to actually up-load - the software base chucks you out

I have been on AOL for over 10 years now and in general I am happy with the service. Yes there is a problem posting pictures into the SL site as it does not work, but you have problems with Firefox so that is not perfect.

My comments were in jest.However, whenever I've used AOL I have found it very frustrating to use, but each to his own.The fact the Firefox doesn't work uploading on Secret Leeds is, I fear, a failing in SL, not Firefox!Anyway, we appear to getting off-thread somewhat.
