After being "saved as", how do I post it back to here?

Host it somewhere, like photobucket, tinypic or imgur.

Then use the [img ] code

Tinypic tells me........"Upload Failed! Uploaded 0 of 1. Invalid format (jpg|bmp|gif|pcx|png|psd|tif)"

Is there a limit on the upload size? Some animated gifs are several megabytes, even when the resolution is small, on account of their length and clarity.

Thanks. I've got most of them loaded now, all but my favorite one of course. I got it from here but it just keeps giving me the "invalid format" crap.

Imageshack, it's easy and you don't have to have an account.

Got it. Imageshack with no problems. First time Tinypic has failed me.

Thanks again.
