Hey, I add it and then it is not uploaded. Also, I don't see the screenshot although I put the link into [img][/img]

Can it be that it is 2.15Mb in size? But I have seen other skins uploaded here. What exactly do I have to do?

Possibly too large for an attachment. You can upload to a file hosting site...or your own if you have one. Got SkyDrive?

No. I don't know what skydrive is. But I have seen attachments being 7Mb, like 365 skin.

The limit for attachments on the forum is 2 MB (according to WDZ's reply to Maximum Upload Size), when you try to attach a bigger file it won't get attached. (although there is no error message when the attachment file size is above the maximum limit, AFAIK)
And I don't believe you seeing attachments as big as 7mbs on here :p

Just upload it to a file host and link to the file in your post, like Sunshine suggested.



And for the image, you have to use the direct link to the picture when you link it with [img][/img] tags, either like this:

or like this, using the imageshack preview:

That bug is now fixed. If you try to attach a file that's too large, you'll get an error message and your thread/reply won't be posted. [Image: mininana.gif]
