I Have a problem uploading photos. Never had a problem before but lately have. When I try to attach files I try to upload and image and it begins the upload process and says “uploading files – please wait”. It takes way to long then the page switches to “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.”

Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Jo Estet, Pesta! Hogy vagy? Nem értek magyarul nagyon jól. Beszélek kicsi magyarul. Es maga, ért és beszél magyarul?
I think your problem is with Internet Explorer. Are you using the most recent version? You can download the most up-to-date version here.
Better yet, download and start using Firefox. It is a much better browser, IMHO.
The only other thing I can think of is that your file may be too large.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for trying to help. It is something on my end. I even tried to open an image hosting site and I can not upload to it either. I tried various helps on Microssofts's site but none worked. It is strange that it only started happening about a week ago and I have not installed anything new on the computer.

It gets stranger.
Since I can not upload here anymore. I tired to copy a jpg to my ftp. I thought that way I could link to that file. I went to my ftp created a folder TFL and then tried to copy that jpg into it. I got an error saying “An error occurred copying a file to the FTP server: Make sure you have permission to put files on the server. Operation timed out.”

Yes Mal we have a firewall but it has never caused problems before. I tired a system restore and that did not work. I can send jpg's in emails fine. It seems when I am up loading over the internet that is when the problem begins. I can load JPG’s onto the office FTP but not my own. I am going to write my provider and see what they say.

I would agree, generally firewalls prevent incoming junk. That's why I was wondering if you had an outgoing firewall. They're more rare, but do exist in secure locations. The email test was to see if all outgoing streams were being checked.
If you want to try an experiment, you can email a pic to me that isn't making out the door normally. I'll see if I can upload it to photobucket. That would eliminate the pix themselves from the mystery.

I tried to upload the pic to photobucket. It would start the process, but never got past 0% uploaded. I'm very sure it's a photobucket problem though because I tried a different pic and it wouldn't upload either.
An odd thing about the upload to photobucket occured. When I browsed for the file, the file name confused the browse function. It got the right file but renamed it to "W.jpg" on photobucket. I renamed the file on my computer to "frozen_puddle_2008_bw.jpg" and it then accepted the name correctly. It still wouldn't upload though.
Next I tried to attach it here and it worked just fine as you can see. So my conclusion is that it's not the file, but you might want to rename it, or any other file that wasn't working. My hunch is that the '&' included in the filename was the catcher.

I tired to upload that photo you did for me, I changed the name to add a 2 at the end, it worked fine. Then I tried to attached a rifle photo, take out the space in the name and it did not work. Strange.

Thanks for all you help Mal. 
I uploaded this MAS photo. What I did was go into Corel Photo-Paint and then saved the image as ‘web optimized’ then I uploaded it and it worked fine. I never had a problem like this with any of my photos I uploaded before until recently.
I am going to try my FTP and see if I can upload it the same image to it.
Thanks again for the help.
