I had problems with IE. Chrome has always worked for me. Though I haven't uploaded a picture in a while.

Hmm, that sounds like it could be a bug, although I use Pinside extensively with Firefox and haven't seen this myself nor heard others mention it.

I will test this with my version of Firefox (32.0.3)

Are you able to *edit* your opening post and then add the images with that edit?

And what version of Firefox are you using?

Robin, was hoping you could help me...

When I try to post a picture... I get the little blue bar showing it is downloading on this site but when I go to preview it... it doesn't show a picture but just says: [attachment=0,]

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, could you please describe the exact steps you are taking for me to try and replicate this issue?

And please also mention which browser, version and OS you are on. Thanks!

Here goes nothing... trying to post picture of my Spot Bowler

I am using Internet Explorer 11

and Windows 7 Home Premium

Ok, where it says: click here (underlined) to open the uploader (I click on that)

Then there is a green box and underneath the green box there is another smaller box that says: ...or click here for file upload dialog... (I click on that)

Then a small screen pops up that is from my computer. I go to my pictures and double click on the picture I have selected. When it is done uploading I click on Preview post... although this time I clicked on Send post and the above is what happened. This time I notice there is a number there but still no picture. Hopefully this is enough information for you to see what is going on. TIA

That's all I got.

There have been lots of other examples of this issue:

(and so on - just search for [attachment and null)

I've been curious as to what causes/fixes it too.

Okay, got it! (Dirt figured it out)

Yaaaaay! DirtFlipper!!

The culprit turns out to be the presence of an apostrophe in the picture file name. So if you have a picture with a name like "Gottlieb's best pin.jpg", it won't work. Need to remove the apostrophe from the file name. There may be other characters that trip it up as well, but in this (and Hoov's) case, it was the presence of an apostrophe in the name.
