Failed!!

Stuart.



What reader are you using?
What news server are you using?
Can you upload anything smaller to a test group?

Without knowing what newsgroup software you are using, no, no advice. Sorry.

Well, I tried the web interface where you are posting and got a picture to
show up there but it hasn't migrated to my Usenet server (Giganews) where I
am posting from now.

The web site Gardenbanter has their own system for Photos so you have upload
it to that and then post on this Newsgroup the URL so we can look at it.
Alternatively come here direct and post direct like the rest of us.

You may like to look us "Newsgroups" on Wikipedia.

Not so, see following message where I attached a picture of nasturtiums,
that was posted through the gardenbanter website. It took a while to show
up. Don't know what basalt's problem is, perhaps he will describe what he
is doing. You have to upload the picture before you send your post that
includes it.

I think "gardenbanter" is for reading only. If you want to post pictures
you will need to subscribe to a News Provider or ask your ISP if they
have usenet service.

Okay, I believe I have found the page from which you are posting, gardenbanter.co.uk I have attached a smaller jpg here and will see if it gets where it belongs.

Hi,
Yes I am using the web page gardenbanter.co.uk
I am not posting through a newsgroup as my newsreader "News.Individual.NET" does not allow for posting binary etc.
My appologies for confusion- - I was not aware the original went out to newsreader also
I tried to upload a picture from my pc using the "manage attachments" feature on the "Additional options" of the gardenbanter.co.uk web page. There are two options. 1. Upload File from your Computer
2.Upload File from a URL
So I need to upload file from a URL?
Stuart.

I uploaded mine from my computer. All I can suggest is trying again, try a
smaller picture and then another large one.

That's not a newsreader, that's a web portal, and you are using a
browser to access it. And a web page is not the same as a newsgroup,
even though many web pages are set up so that you can upload messages
and pictures to them for other people to read/view, and some provide
access to a newsgroup.

A newsreader is a program that accesses a news server (host) directly,
and through which you can do the following:
-- select and subscribe to newsgroups;
-- download messages ("posts") from those newsgroups to your computer,
and read/view them;
-- Save all or parts of a post;
-- post messages, and on binary newsgroups, also post images, videos,
music, etc.

If you are using Windows, Outlook Express works as a newsreader, too. I
don't use OE, so I can't advise you how to set it up for newsgroups.

You also have to subscribe to a news service on Usenet. Your ISP
(Internet Service Provider) may provide a news service (Usenet service),
but most ISPs have withdrawn that part of their service. To find a news
servers, google on "news service hosts" and/or "Usenet hosts". There are
free services, but most of them are limited to text only. To subscribe
to binary newsgroups (through which you can exchange pictures), you will
almost certainly have to pay. I subscribe to Newshosting, the $10/month
plan is adequate for me.

Stuart.

Since you are using a web portal to access this newsgroup, and I've
never used one for newsgroups, I can't advise you. Sorry.
