You may have popups blocked in MSIE and not in FF.

Very nice looking pictures by the way.

We have tested with this configuration and it works perfectly. Do you have any pop-up blockers installed? If so, you may wish to deactivate them and test again, or configure them to ignore englishclub.com or eslblogs.englishclub.com, depending on your blocker.

We checked out your account and were able to “Send to editor” ok. What operating system and browser are you using?

(We also deleted the duplicate Mr Beans for you as they will simply reduce the space available to you.)

If your pictures are “much bigger than 100kb” that could explain why nothing happens. Pictures for the web should be optimized to be a reasonable file size. Depending on the template you are using, the pictures may need to be changed in physical dimensions to fit. For example, for the default template a maximum width of 400 pixels would be appropriate. It is not good practice to use a much larger picture and simply adjust its dimensions in the html to make it “smaller”. You need a graphics program to optimize an image (reduce its file size) or change its dimensions. Depending on size and complexity, most photos on these pages would be anything from 10kb to 50kb. (That is for photos uploaded to the server, as you were trying to do. Other images may have much large file sizes because they are being “pulled” from a 3rd party website. But you should have permission of the 3rd party website to do that. And even then it is not sensible to use very large file sizes because they slow down page loading.)

If your image is under 100kb and you still have trouble uploading, please describe the problem in detail so that we can help.

Tried the above process but can’t get it to work. When I click send to editor, nothing happens. Also most of my photos are much bigger than 100kb!
