I went through the entire process of writing a story of the build and attached 7 photos but when I hit post this message came up. There are attachments found, which you have attached before but not posted. These attachments are now attached to this post. If you do not want to include them in this post, you can remove them here. When I clicked on here the entire post went away. When I went back to redo the entire thing I continue to get this message. What am I doing wrong?

You have a docx attached to your post. It consists of seven photos of a naked K but has no text. You should click on the Attachments and other options line then click beside anything that is in the list of previous attachments to remove it. You can then start over. I suggest you write descriptive text of your project in the text box then attach photos uploaded from your computer's desktop. You can substitute a caption for each photo's label as long as the caption is under 250 characters. For example instead of uploading a photo labeled 0056712.jpg, overwrite the number with something like, This is the bike right after I stole it but before I removed the serial numbers.jpg.

Photos uploaded from desktops are permanent—at the discretion of the moderators. Photos uploaded from photo servers disappear when the member's photo server account lapses.

That is what I did and when I tried to post it I got the message.

How long does it take for a post with photos to show up in the forum? I went through the same process as before and hit post and it went through without getting the message.

The same process I have always used when posting which is to attach photos , write a description and give the post a headline. I have never had a problem like this before. The one I posted this last time seemed to go through but it never showed up as a post.

Give us a link to one of your posts where you've successfully attached photos, gag.

For one thing, gag, reduce the size of your photos. A 4000kb photo of a bike is unnecessary. Reduce it to around 400 kb with an 8-inch width. It'll still be awesome.
