I'm not having connectivity issues, can upload to Gallery and also bought store items.

Trying to upload a 95 kb jpg to a post here and it just shows "loading" forever.  Not getting any notice from Anti virus.  Not sure what the issue is.

    Unfortunately the problem is the forum software — every now and then it coughs up any file you try to attach to a post. All you can do is delete the failed attachment (I think it's right-click on the little attachment thumbnail to see the "delete" command) and try again. Some people have reported needing three or four tries or more before it sticks.

    Avoid Blanks and Special Characters in filenames. Those can be the cause of failed uploads too.

    It's more than just the forum software that's the problem...it's a bunch of things that need to work perfectly without hiccups to actually get it load properly, with the forum software only being a small part of the equation (not an unimportant part, mind you, but only part of it).  Personally, I think a lot of the timeouts in the upload path are set too low...it's like they are for unobstructed/low latency high speed connections and if one of the steps timesout, then the upload will fail.

    Thanks.  I had a space in the title, that fixed it.
