Unhappy Can't view uploaded photos!!

Hey, I'm pretty new here, so I don't know if there is anything else I should do when uploading or not, so please guide me through.

I created a new album, but when I upload the photos, it comes up as if it is uploaded but I can't see the actual photos. Only the names come up. I tried resizing the photos as well, but that didn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It might help if you say which photo sharing site you are using.

How do you upload the photos? Because if you want to link to a photo, you paste the link into the message created by the photo sharing site.. You're actually not uploading anything if done correctly, since you are just refering to a photo on your site.

Oh? I thought you were able to directly upload photos from your computer because there is a 'Browse' button nearby...

Sorry! My mistake. Somehow I automatically thought that you tried to link from a site. I must be tired

Yes, you are correct. But my experience in uploading pictures directly is quite limited.

But, personally, I think it's best to upload photos to a photo site, like Flickr and Picasa, and link to these photos in the forum post. That way, the reader sees the photo instantly, instead of having to click the photo and wait for it to show up.

I couldn't find a tutorial for uploading pictures to this forum, but here is one for linking to photo sharing sites:

You can only post one photo for critique every 24h, at least in this forum. But with that said, you can just link to all four shots in one message so that all the photos will show up at the same time.
