Why am I having a problem uploading pics to attach to my posts?

Update ....

I've been working with some members on unrelated issues they've been experiencing and I discovered something that I thought most people doing Internet browsing were aware of.

It has to do with Browser Cache ... Pronounced "browser cash."

Browser Cache Definition: It's a temporary storage area in memory or on disk that holds the most recently downloaded Web pages. As you jump from Web page to Web page, caching those pages in memory lets you quickly go back to a page without having to download it from the Web again.

In order to ensure that the latest page is displayed, the browser compares the dates of the cached page with the current Web page. If the Web page has not changed, the cached page is displayed immediately. If the Web page has changed, it is downloaded, displayed and cached.

When you quit the browser session, the cached pages are stored on disk. Settings in your Web browser let you set the amount of space to use for the cache, which is essentially a disk folder, and the length of time to hold the pages.

What does this mean to you and perhaps helps solves general problems you may be experiencing here, or perhaps on other sites?

Simply put ... make sure you CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE (click here) periodically. In most computer-based web browsers, to open menus used to clear your cache, cookies, and history, press Ctrl-Shift-Delete (Windows) or Command-Shift-Delete (Mac). If doing that it's not obvious how to clear your cache for your specific version or browser, search your browser's Help menu for "clear cache". Also, if you didn't like the first web site on how to clear your browser cache, here's another one you that will show you ... How to Clear Your Browser's Cache (click here). It should be noted that whenever you have any kind of a problem with your Internet browser using any web site, ALWAYS clear your cache first to see if that action fixes the problem. Internet browser caches have a tendency to get corrupt from usage, unless they are cleared from time to time.

I've updated my first post to indicate that perhaps this should be done as part of trying to solve any upload problems you may be experiencing. It wouldn't hurt to do this monthly anyway ..

The moral of the story? After working with many members over the years, I have found that it has fixed many issues they were having. So, clear you cache and you'll find it often solves a LOT of your browsing problems !!!
