Trying to put an image on the forum

Post by Maadman »

I'm trying to attach a bmp file to this communication. I keep getting an error telling me that it has an invalid file extension. Did the same with a CDL file. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Ok this site will not recognize bmp but will jpeg files, you can ZIP the file you want to send and the site will take ZIP files.
Download winrar and use the ZIP function in it (it has different types of files, ZIP is one of them),free stuff works great too.
After you load winrar files you ZIP will have a stack of books as their icon and what ever name you give them.
Find the file you want to ZIP and right click on it then in the menu that come up click on "Add to archive" you will see the box in the attached image.

Why not just load your BMP into PAINT and save as a JPG, much easier then zipping everything and then anybody that wants to see what you posted needs to download and unzip the file just to see it. :D
