Alright !!! !e have a picture !

Now we just need to get around the uploading issues you had. Like Marc suggested, you could be victim to a slow upload causing a timeout. Two main ways to fix that are:

1) Get a faster connection - not always practical, or cost effective.
2) Reduce the size before submitting the pic, so that you only need to upload the reduced pic, and consequently have less chance oif a timeout.

For the latter - do you have Photoshop, or Microsoft Photo Editor, or anything else like that, that would allow you to shrink the pic ? (Depending on the tool, you may be looking for an option called "resize", or "crop", etc., etc.)

If you don't have any kind of photo editor available just now you can probably find a freeware / shareware one - I've not tried any of these, but a quick google search for "freeware photo editor image resize" foudn a bunch of matches including http://www.webattack.com/freeware/gm...phicedit.shtml

Good luck,

Gordon
