security tokens - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, I fully expect to get blasted for this, but is there anyone manning the "contact us" link on this site? I've been trying to upload photos to accompany a question I'd like to throw out to the collective wisdom here, but I keep getting a window saying they couldn't be uploaded because they were missing a "security token". Not knowing what that was, I sent a query (twice) to the "contact us" link. That was about a week ago, so far no response. Are the messages getting through, admin? Am I screwing something up here? Or is this answer time normal? I'm bypassing the contact link and posting directly to the site hoping admin will see this and answer. Hope it doesn't get me booted.

security token missing usually means your pictures are too big and it is causing a time out trying to load them. Try resizing them smaller before loading. Usually happens with cell phone pics because they are so huge. You can also try loading one at a time and not all 5 if you have trouble resizing

Thanks Richard, I'll give that a go.

If using you phone, I texted them to myself that resizes them to a useable size. There maybe another way but the easiest way I have found so far.
