I've had this happen several times. I think that the system can detect copyright items and block them. I know this can happen on some systems. When this happens I can usually send the pics to myself and download them and then send the downloaded pics to the forum and they will work. Make sure what you are sending is not to large as a lot of forums have a limit on size.

In Rod's case... There is some metadata in the image that is causing it to be blocked....probably copyright as mentioned above/

I'll investigate...but I "cleaned" it and sent him a version should work...

Thanks for the help. If you determine what the metadata is let me know. It was just a jpg image taken and edited with my cellphone.

I had to remove all of the metadata to get it to work. None of it is copyright related just camera information.  Very odd.

Right click the picture on your computer and look at properties.

When that happens, just open the image in a Paint program and save it ,,,that will remove the Metadata

What I do is send it to myself then download it and it's ready to go
