Gentlemen:

I have four screenshots which I want to share with you. These shots I believe are rare (at least I think so). It showed GIs unearthing Mig Foxbats buried in the deserts of Iraq. However everytime I do upload, it said that there is not enough allotted memory.  I maybe doing something wrong. Any ideas?

I still have problem uploading. Maybe its the JPG requirment or the limit on memory. Maybe I can e-mail the pictures to someone. This pictures you guys gotta see.

The photo files I have are in "Bitmap Image". Can I convert this to a "JPEG Image". This may be my problem.

Yeah, just open the image in an image editor (like MS paint) and 'save as' a .jpg file.

First resize them 800 pixs wide, then save as .jpg. Click "Save as...", check the line where it says "Save as .bmp", change that to .jpg. Will work. Also make sure you don't save the file with a size higher that 100k. Adjust using the sliders for .jpg quality.

PS I use IrfanView. Easy to work with.

when it comes to the screen where it says:

Upload successful!

Use this as your link [glb]http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/yourpic.jpg[/glb]

(replace 'yourpic' with the name of your image) & don't forget to use the 'Insert Image' button in the forum.

copy the url that is in glow above and start a thread in a forum.. in the top you will see a set of buttons to use click on the image button second row 4th from left and it will give you this

[img ]URL[/img ]

paste your URL into where it says URL and delete "URL"

now change the ...yourpic.jpg with the filename that you uploaded the pictures ie http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/mypicture1.jpg

repeat above steps as needed for each picture :D

hope this helps, hard to get to grips with but youl get there
