Sending pics via the message box..
 
Hi mates,
 
Every time i upload a picture of mine in a message and press "send" button, it takes quite a while and before the navigator displays the following message; "Internet Explorer is unable to find the web page." 
 
The same issue occurs in ESL Private Messenger, this Forum�s and ESL Teacher�s Caf�s Message Boxes..
 
Could anyone enlighten me, please?
 
Thanks beforehand!!

What size is the pic?Is it a gif/jpg/bmp/tif.? A BMP takes up a lot of data.

Well, it �s hard to say.  There could be corruption in the data. Did you take the pics or download them?  Try using a different format. Make them into gifs or something like that. You can also Goolge it and see if there are others with the same problem.  Sorry I am not helping much.

hi Abbes! Big smileAre you sure that you are follwoing this procedure? : in the "Post your reply" box click on the "insert image" button, then click "browse", choose a pic from your PC and then "upload". It takes up to 10 seconds to see the preview of the image.
Also try usuing Mozilla Firefox if it �s possible, maybe there is an error in your Internet Explorer browser.
Have a great day and let me know what �s new!
PS My students took their Cambridge exams but we will get results in 2 months only Geek

Hi Kate,
 
Thank you so much for your help.. i followed the very steps you mentioned but it seems-- as you said-- that the problem has to do with Internet Explorer itself ( i �m using IE7)..
 
�Glad to hear your students took their Cambridge exams.. �hope you hear only good news!! 2 months is a rather long period of time to keep waiting, though..
 
�hope you �re enjoying your time, Kate! Smile

Hi, Kate!
I know what you mean about waiting - mine took them also and the wait will be yuckyDead, but I do hope the results will be Thumbs Up! Let us know...
 
PS: I don �t know about you, but I �ve been preparing them for 12 years now, and every time a generation takes those exams, I think/hope the wait is going to be easier, but it doesn �t.... Do you have any tricks that help you to share with me?
