It probably means your pics are too big. Sometimes the classified software doesn't tell you that it is. You might try reducing the pic so the file size is under 100kb. I don't think there is a hold time for pics in ads.

Okay I did some investigating and I was able to upload a 458kb photo into the classifieds with a non-member login. How big of a file were you using? I'll try a bigger one to see what happens if it is too large.

You are right, it is most likely too large. We will be upgrading the software soon and I "think" one of the changes is letting you know if the pict is too big. The newer cameras create images far larger than was ever thought useable so the software just chokes and no images show up.

Typically when saving a pic the software you are using will give the option to save as type. Your computer should have the paint software (a simple photo editor) Open the pic with that and then under file do a save as Then that should give you the option to save as something other than bitmap. Bitmap files are typically large and could be your problem. Hope that helps. IF you can't figure it out send the pics to jwa.mod@gmail.c*m and I can fiddle with them for you. (change the c*m to com to get the email addy to work.) Hope this helps.
