Step-to-Step Guide on How To Upload Pictures onto the BYC Forum:

Anybody have any ideas on why I can't load pictures to this site?

Sorry it took so long to get back with you. As you probably expected, the issue with files not showing up when uploading photos was not a problem in Chrome, although is still is there in IE. I know IE is pretty glitchy with BYC, so I can just use Chrome when loading pics. Now if you can just get the photo upload to work with my Droid X I will be really happy! Thanks, Mary

Hello. I am new to this site and was trying to load some photos to a thread I started but every time I try to upload a photo I get this error ( Some images failed to upload:

• IMG_1760.JPG - Error, param staticContentPath is not a directory! [/var/www/html/static.backyardchickens.com/pub//imgrepo]

You can try re-selecting them and uploading again. )
I have tried loading the pictures straight from my sd card and from my photos folder on my computer. Thanks!

It's a known site wide issue. Started today. It's not you. There's a whole thread about it.

You have to first upload it to YouTube, copy the link, then click on the little video icon and paste the link in between the video code for it to appear in the post. Hope you can understand that lol.
