By trying to upload a picture I get the error message "Upload failed.You are not permitted to upload this type of file." The picture has only 87.9 kilobyte and a size of appr 300 by 200 pixels. Can anybody tell me what is wrong and how to correct it ? From what I read my picture should be within specs . Thanks Herbert WerniForgot to mention it is a bmp extension

Have a look at the image posting rules in my signature. You might get that error message if you try to upload a BMP - most in the screenshot forum use Jpeg, I believe.

If it complies with avsim's screenshot rules you can always use Photobucket. It's pretty fast to upload and the pics load fast (for me). And its free:http://photobucket.com/
