I've tried to add a picture but I get a strange error message. Help?

Use this function on the toolbar when you post.

No General, I meant under my name like the way your Egg McMuffin picture is. When I go to add a picture and choose one I get this message: "POST requests from foreign hosts are not allowed". ????

rchrdschn:

In the upper left-hand corner of the page, there is a link called "user cp" (cp = control panel). After clicking on that, click on "edit avatar" and you will be given a set of pictures to put under your name. If you wish to upload your own picture, click on the "browse" button in the lower part of the page and point to the file from your own computer that you wish to appear under your name.

The files you upload from your own computer are limited to a certain size. I'm not sure what those dimensions are but try uploading a picture. If it is too big you will be given the largest size that is acceptable to upload.

Still won't work. I think I'm doing it right but I keep getting the error message: "POST requests from foreign hosts are not allowed".

rchrdschn,

try this....

go to user cp on upper left side of screen....

next click edit avater...

now try picking one of the avaters offered by the rx.

see if you are able to use one of those. if so, then we will try working on getting a personal one to work.

Thanks RPM. I tried using some of the different avatars offered by the RX. Same problem, I get the error message: "POST requests from foreign hosts are not allowed". Help...
