a problem posting images

Post by mekender »

so i tried to post a picture with image tags... and i get the following error...
It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.
here is the link to the image...

http://sayanythingblog.com/images/teapa ... sysign.jpg

and when i right click on it and choose properties, it shows me that the image is 400px × 300px

so something isnt right with the image tags... this is not the first time this has happened...

Some websites won't let you click and save images.

My simple, all-else-fails fix:

Take a screen shot by pressing the PrtScn, (print screen), button
Open MS Paint
Click Edit and Paste
Select and cut the image you want
Paste the image into a new file
Save to your pictures folder, (or wherever)

The resolution isn't that great, but it's usually good enough for the web.

If you use <alt><print Scrn> it will only capture the active window, giving you less to edit out.
