Problem uploading images

Post FORUM SPECIFIC questions here: Such as, "HELP, I can't keep logged in for more than one session" etc... Not general help questions such as "my car won't start". You get the idea?

Problem uploading images

Post by bvs »

Hi Alex


Alex - how many posts before they do not need checking by moderator ?

Also i have tried uploading a couple of images from photobucket but keep getting ''Forbidden. Please enable JavaScript.'' - this has never happened on other forums and have tried from desktop and laptop - any ideas please ?

I have tried uploading from photobucket both with and without using the img button above but I keep getting ''''Forbidden. Please enable JavaScript'' in red text from this forum - works ok in other forums.

What browser are you using? Our anti-spam system checks if you have javascript enabled or not as alot of spam bots use this tactic to bypass spam scanning

Click the Try It button

If it says true, your javascript is working

Let me know what happens

Im in discussion with the Anti-Spam provider on this. It should just work - ill move you out of the 'new' group anyway which will fix the issue.

If you have Tapatalk it is far easier to upload photos, this is what I do now as I had the same problem as you.
