    I'm a car junkie at heart and have always had something fun and exciting to drive. After having had a Prius a few times as a rental car while working in California in 2014, I was hooked. I loved the hypermiling challenges I took on and as a geek at heart loved the amazing engineering and technology at work. Well, I no longer have to sit and look, I'm going to participate. I'll be picking up a 2015 Blizzard Pearl Persona Series tomorrow and with our 4Runner will make us a full Toyota household (excluding the Harley, need my fix). Remote start for these horrific winters (it's going to be below zero most of next week) and tint are soon to come and the winter tires from my trade, a BRZ, thankfully will be a perfect fit in this 215/45/R17 set up. I'm looking forward to contributing and learning from this forum. First and foremost, how to post photos! ;-) Not intuitive, "Upload a File" definitely isn't the way.

    Actually, it is! After the image file is uploaded you have a choice of inserting either a thumbnail or the full image into your post.
    And welcome to the Forum!

    Unfortunately, this is what pops up with no explanation:

    The following error occurred
    There was a problem uploading your file.

    There was a major server crash about three weeks ago which started with this type of error, but I just tried and was able to upload an image. Make sure your file is smaller than 5MB.
    And if it's not that, bisco is probably correct.

    Nope. All three images are under 300K each and 768X1024 so I don't understand. All three are on my desktop in .jpg format.

    Honestly, I can't figure this out.....I've tried posting all kinds of different photos, pdf., etc, with the same message after the load up attempt, "The following error occurred (outlined in a red rectangle) There was a problem uploading your file.

    This has been an intermittent problem for the last couple of years, affecting users at random.
    Do you have an external site where you can upload the photos, Flickr for example? You can then use the Image icon (rectangle with mountains) in the row at the top of the reply box to enter the URL.

    For Google+ to work, you'd need to grant permission.

    The URLs you just provided show an IMAGE error and the link itself reveal only a "Request access" button.
