Pictures won't attach to ad

I placed my first ad on TrumpetHerald, but the pictures I attached did not show up. I went back to edit and tried attaching one photo at a time, but they still didn't go through.

I have no idea what the problem could be, but it seems to go through, then I look at the ad and there are no pictures

You need to host the pictures on some other site then link to them. TH does not host the actual files.

The size of your pictures could be too big.

Go through some of the other ad's and take a look at the size of the pictures. They're typically pretty small.

I usually attach a couple of small (but good) pictures to the ad and then add a link to the larger ones.

I'll bet your files are too large.

I'm having the exact same problem. It used to be easy but I don't understand what's going on now!!!!

I have all of my pics in files on my laptop. I WILL check the sizes...but...do I have to find some "outside" source/website to "host/transfer" them to????!!!!

I'm a moron when it comes to this stuff but my wife is quite knowledgeable. If you could guide me to the proper way of putting the pics up I'd certainly appreciate it!!

Thanks,
Butch
