Why is it so difficult to attach a pic?

jasperchc — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 17:07:48 +0800

I dont know why but i find it so totally difficult to attach pic to my post. Everytime i try, i get redirected to a blank page which is "http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?" I tried like 15 times to attach a file just now but failed in all my attempts, and this is not that first time i am facing this problem.

Right, this is the process i went through, in a thread, i click on "addreply", then under file attachment, i browse for the file like "D:\picture\abc.jpeg", then click "add this attachment". The next thing i always get redirected to a white blank page with the URL = "http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?" . Does anyone knows what is going on?
