Thanks. We've had a couple reports of this lately. We're having a hard time tracing the problem.

Yes please oh please fix this problem. Cartagena posts the most wonderful shots of his (ahem) automobile!

It has been over 2 months, for me.

Tool Pants = It has been over 2 months, for me.

I was able to post a pic last week, but the heck with me, CJ needs to be able to post pics!

Whenever I ask the person having the upload problem to:
1) check the size (<500k)
2) tell me when the problem occurred
3) tell me which forum the problem occurred in...and
4) send me the picture..so I can try to upload it..(note:ahem, Carta should always send his to me first so I can review them, double ahem)

I can never get them to follow through on any or all of steps 1-4.

Still going on. Here is a screen shot. Attempted picture upload was a 58.6 KB jpg. Error message is "File system directory is not writable."

This problem started a few months ago. Worked fine before then.

Here is a link to my December 1st message when the picture upload was working. The picture of the brake pad is 59.6 KB.

When I tried to upload that same brake pad picture today for this message I got the error message.

This problem started around early January.
