"Moderation restrictions Sorry, you won't be allowed to use the BBcode reserved to moderation ! " Roly Williams I've had that occasionally. I've just waited a couple of minutes and tried again. steamgranny Encountered this earlier, too (for the first time ever). Maybe something to do with the announced forum migration? http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/about23006.html Pmackh AAAAAAGH I have a few little beauties to show you guys and i am still getting the error messages i mentioned at the start of the post when i try to upload the photos. Can anyone help ????? johnreid Try emptying your cache and see if that helps Bugsy Re: AAAAAAGH Pmackh wrote: I have a few little beauties to show you guys and i am still getting the error messages i mentioned at the start of the post when i try to upload the photos. Can anyone help ????? I've also experienced that. So I reduced the size of the images to 640x480, then uploaded them. It worked every time! Phil Pmackh Thanks for that John, I have just tried that, and changed from google chrome to Explorer, but I have just got the same message again Any other ideas? Pmackh Thanks phil, I have them reduced already, the photos (2) are now only 97 kb. (each) that couldnt be too big could it?

I use Firefox, but that shouldn't make any difference. I assume you are uploading JPG or PNG files? BMP won't work for me. Phil Bugsy PM sent! phil johnreid Are you using Photobucket or trying to use the MFF Gallery? I never had much luck with the gallery Pmackh I am using the gallery John, I never had any problems before, I have sent a photo to phil, he is going to try to upload it, so lets see if he can do it Bugsy Strange, I can't upload it. I get this message: Sorry, you won't be allowed to use the BBcode reserved to moderation ! I'll try and upload something else. That worked OK. Now I'm confused... Phil Bugsy Attempy nr 3... Bugsy How 'bout that? I changed the file name to something else and it worked!!! Changing it to a PNG file didn't work though. Phil johnreid Not to be critical, but go sign up for Photobucket, it is free, I request as a favor that you keep photos 800 X 600 or less, but Photobucket takes larger ones too. Pictures in the Gallery seem to expire after a short period of time and the Gallery is very finicky. Pmackh Ok , I guess the photos are corrupt. (they were crap anyway !) so I will take a few new ones and post them again. Thanks for you help. Roly Williams Bugsy wrote: How 'bout that? I changed the file name to something else and it worked!!!

What was the name before you changed it? model042.jpg I changed it to Morgan2.jpg Perhaps the first name was already used in the system somewhere? Pmackh John you are not being critical, I like photo bucket, I just prefer when I open a new post to see the photos there intead of following a link (how lazy is that !   I renamed the photos from model1 2 3 etc to pic1 2 3 and that seemed to do the trick. anyway, I you can see it now in "collections"        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> General discussion Page 1 of 1
