any hints I get a fault of file currupt or too large these pics are well under size and not currupt.

Jerry, only JPG, PNG and GIF images are supported, so if the pictures are a different file type, you may need to convert them first.

It is possible the file is corrupt though.

What is the size (file size) of the image you are trying to upload?

If you can't get it to work, you can always register for an account at www.photobucket.com

Photobucket allows you to upload photos and link to them or embed them directly in your posts.

Hope this helps,
Jay
