You're using imageshack, right? We've all found that Imageshack can be a horrid pain in the arse, so I would suggest possibly using a different hosting service, like Photobucket and just putting the links since PB doesn't have thumbnails.
Possibly waiting until Imageshack gets its panties out of a bunch, too, but who knows how long that'll be....
Good luck.

Don't worry, GG, we're all here to help with these sort of problems. If you could tell me how you upload your pictures to begin with, that might help. And what exactly happens when you try to upload those two pictures? As far as switching hosting companies, it's very simple. You can use a website like ImageShack by first registering here and then uploading an image from the main page here - registration isn't necessary, but I recommend it.) This isn't so much "switching" hosting companies, it's just creating a new account with another one. ImageShack is pretty simple, once you upload a picture it will take you to another page and show you several codes that have titles like "Hotlink for Forums", "Direct Link to Image", etc. You'd be looking for one that says something like "Thumbnail code for forums". Now if you're using Photobucket, you may be having problems because your picture is too big. They do have size limits on there, but they usually just resize them. If you upload with them, you'll notice the links below your uploaded photo - but you're having problems uploading, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. If you think you can e-mail me your pictures I can upload them to one of my accounts for you and send you the links in a PM. For information on how to post links, you can check out this thread and let me know if you have any questions.

I was uploading the two photo's the same way I did the rest. Went to the "Browse" button and selected my pic. but this time when my pic was selected, the "Host It" button didn't highlight. For kicks, I tried a completely different pic, and it worked. For some reasone, it's just those two. Beats the heck out of me!! I thought computers were supposed to make our lives a lot easier, but lately they seem to be giving me way to many headaches.

Okay, I think I might just give up on this "photo dream" of mine. Thanks for all your help, even rayman. And Idril, I tried emailing the pics to you, and that didn't even work. So, I am at a loss. Maybe I'll just try the next contest.

Well don't give up yet!! What file type are the pictures? .jpg, .bmp, .gif? The hosting company might not support the file type you have selected (I think the easiest way to find out what file type it is is to go into your My Pictures folder or wherever you saved the picture and mouse-over the image. It should come up and tell you the extension. Hopefully)
We can figure it out, I'm sure we can.
