import image/video problem

How to I post a picture what's in my paint programme on here? I have a picture problem with QVC's video's
Yes I know I'm sad, but if Rik can watch now and again so can I.!!!!!
Ive taken a "print screen" of the error and pasted it into paint but how do I post it in idnetters
for you to chew over. I'm running a Mac partitioned with windows.
.
Thanks

If you save the image as jpg not greater that 0.5 mb then click on additional options>choose file then post. You won't see a preview of the image though until posted

Or change it to a .jpg the file size will be a lot smaller.

To get the additional options, you have to click on reply at the bottom of the thread rather than using the Quick Reply box

Finally done it, thanks S, L and G..
.
The problem is when I try to watch QVC live stream or previous video's of QVC
products this is what comes up. I've updated Adobe Flash and got Windows 9 player
installed on this Mac machine, its partioned like I said earlier. All other videos are OK,
its just QVC. Any ideas please.

Regards.

I presume they're running ok on the Mac partition?

You cannot watch QVC UK on a Mac.. You can the USA, Japan and Germany but not over here.
Hence why I was trying to get it going on the Windows bit. Firefox gets the same results as well.

Perhaps I misunderstand Alan but I can watch QVCUK TV videos ,items from the last 24hrs on Safari via Mac OS X

Thanks Steve
I've never been able to, according to their website...

"These videos are fully supported by the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 6.0 and greater
Firefox 1.5 and greater
Netscape 8.0
Unfortunately, these videos are not currently properly supported on Mac systems.
.

Oh dear... I've just sent them a snotty email asking why they are not in this century.
.
So it must be setting in my mac somewhere..

Alan , I've tried to get it to work on my VM install of Windows 7 but have not succeeded like you in playing any video yet,I have installed java and the firefox wmp plugin .With regard to the Mac with Safari the only videos I can play are their on air TV the other ones are not working either.

Thanks for trying Steve... It sounds like you can get more than me. My video window is just blank.
I'll see what QVC says if they reply to my email. I'm not that urgent that I need it. It was the good lady
wanted to see a demo of something and lo and behold nothing.
