Just figured out today after struggling with posting a pic of the headstock of a G&L SC-1. Before figuring out the problem, I had tried and tried to post the thing and thought, "OK I've had a couple pints,  but that is not unusual. Where did I screw up?"
It turns out that you can't include the "&" character in the name of a .jpg, like { G&Lhead.jpg. } For whatever reason, that would not allow the jpg to post. Formatting character? I don't know. Any other characters to avoid? (Present company excluded.) |

I tried uploading some pics the other day that had parentheses in the name and they didn't show up. |

Good tip.
I've noticed before that if a filename had space in it, I would need to refer to it using %20 where the space is. You might be able to display the file using ampersand by inserting a %26 or paranthesis by using %28 '(' and %29 ')'.
G&Lhead.jpg would then be referred to as G%26Lhead.jpg. |

Posting photos to threads: avoid some characters!
