I did contact the webmaster and the photo upload is working again or the member archives. Witness Wayne's new album.

COUNT, Thanks for the quick response!

Great! Also, just so everyone knows, this is the e-mail I sent to Joe about how to post a picture in a thread. It seems to be working because he's posting away :lol:


First thing you have to do is to go imageshack.us
Click on the browse button, find your picture on your computer, then
hit the "host it" button. If you have already resized the picture to
640x480 or less, then go ahead. If not, you can use imageshack to
resize it. You'll see the check box with a dropdown menu to choose the
size you want.

Sometimes the next page comes in the same window/tab, sometimes it
opens in a new window/tab. Either way, when the image is uploaded
you'll see a new page with a small version of the picture and a bunch
of boxes with links in them. You'll want to scroll down to the link
just below the picture that says "hotlink for forums 1" on the right
side of it. Uncheck the box that says "include details". Click inside
the box with the text and it will highlight the text automatically.
Right click on the text and select "copy". It should look something
similar to this:

[U-RL=http://imageshack.us][I-MG]http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/553/ ... terzr4.jpg[-IMG][-URL]

I put a dash in between the first "U" and "R", and between the "I" and
"M" to keep it from posting a picture in the post.

Now we want to delete the "URL" tags from this line. So go to your post
and right click, then select "paste". The line of text will show up.
Select the first brackets [U-RL=http://imageshack.us] and delete them.
Also, at the end of the line of text is bracket "[/U-RL]". Also delete
that (it won't have the dashes).

That's all you gotta do. Then hit preview post to make sure the picture
is there. It's pretty simple and once you do it a few times becomes
really easy.
