i tried both mozilla and internet explorer and nothing happens when i try to upload files, I think it is because i need to open certain port on my router, anyone know what port?

UbuuSG,

You DO NOT need to open any new ports on your router. Do you have a pop-up blocker installed? The "Manage Attachments" button will open a new window to let you choose the file(s) you want to upload. This could be blocked by some software.

I hope this helps,

i get the popup window and i select files fine but once i finally go to upload it just sits there... i know its not uploading because my activity light on my router does nothing.

That is odd. Does the window eventually get some sort of time out error if you wait long enough?

Do me a favor. Try uploading a small .JPG file in the Post Testing Area forum and tell me exactly what happens.

Thanks

i tried posting a 64k jpg and it did the same thing.. internet explorer will sit there forever, mozilla eventually comes up with a "document contains no data" dialog box. I am gonna look through privacy/security settings for both browsers see if that has anything to do with it.

Sorry can't help but I just wanted to say I've had similar experiences lately. To preview some of my recent
posts I've had to stop and start the process several times before I got one that would actually do something
and not just sit there.
On my last post the attachments took a lot longer to upload than normal and I never could preview the post.
When I hit the submit message button the animated connecting bar in the bottom of explorer stopped about
90 % of the way done and would go no further it sat there long enough for me to have a smoke.
I stopped it eventually and tried again, samething. Finally I gave up closed the window, opened a new browser window and came back to occ. When I checked the forum my post was there. I don't get it.
