1/19/11 STOP here if you are having trouble uploading a picture

The site seems to be having picture uploading issues recently.  Some people are able to upload without problems and some continue to get the monkey error.  We all hate those monkeys and can relate to your frustrations!  Sadly, Charliecats, Coldwater and I cannot fix the problem. 

We'd still love to see your sweet baby pictures.  One solution is to upload your picture to a image sharing website like Photobucket.  Then, copy and paste the link to the picture in your IG thread. 

Thanks for your patience! 

Also, for those who have had success posting pics today...please share tips or your photo sharing website of choice.  Some of us are computer illiterate and need a little extra help.

FYI.....If you are simply replying to a thread (not attaching a pic) try the "quick reply" button.  I'm getting far fewer monkeys with that button today.

Hitting "Post" multiple times while waiting for the monkeys has resulted in a large number of duplicate posts today.  It seems that even if you get an error message the text has still been posted.  I usually check before retyping my post.

Ditto on the quick reply thing making less monkeys, but an easier way for pics to post is uploading your pic to photobucket and using the [img] code and posting it in your reply, that way the pic will post as long as the monkeys don't eat the post.

i found that if you have a picture of an ultrasound uploaded to another site (IF you dont' have photobucket), you can click copy and then paste it into the thread here and it works great that way.

Another tip : copy your post before posting it

Great tips girls.  I totally wasn't thinking about copying and pasting the photo directly in the post.

[*img]yourimageurlhere[/img] remove the asterisk

if your picture is ginormous and you would like it to be smaller, use this tag instead:

[*img= 400x300]yourimageurlhere[/img] don't forget to remove the asterisk.

Copying and pasting is the way to go!!!!!!!!!  Please try this before starting multiple threads...it will work.
