 What am I doing wrong? My last text only message posted fine a few day ago. I hope you can assist me.

a. Use the "toggle view" button to go to code mode (not wysiwyg mode)
b. resize the original image and upload that, don't get images from any kind of sharing site (they add code that gets flagged by the firewall as potentially malicious)
