Sorry, but unless I'm doing something wrong, I don't have time to sit here and stare at my screen for over 5 mins trying to upload a 121KB pic
Maybe admin could e-mail me with some help

It takes seconds to post a picture, but you tried to upload a picture and it appears you either had a bad connection or you tried to modify the post you killed the upload in mid stream, or a combination of theses.

Make sure your image is 800x600 centered in the image and no larger than 128KB.

I uploaded an image that is showing up as a 'red x', does that mean it didn't load right or is under review

I tried to add a 121KB JPG to a post and after roughly 5 mins I bailed out

Am I doing something wrong ?

What is the size limit for the Signature Pic plz

Thanks for your help

Avatar pictures are not reviewed.  

Not sure what you are doing, but I just uploaded 3 avatars to the forum successfully.

Signature pictures don't have a limit, but you cannot add any picture to your signature unless it is either attached to a post, uploaded to the site, or hosted somewhere.  There is a restriction that is understood though.  If you put a HUGE image in your signature it will be removed.  Preferably keep it under 80 pixels high.

I guess maybe my connection was in trouble

My pic is 1600x1200 and not centered, but is only 121KB

I'll try again and if not, because I'm not so great with Paint, I'll take a look @ Photobucket

Thanks again everyone for your help and Sorry for all the seemingly random posts

Obviously not too clear headed lately !!!
