Not sure I am in the right place to post this so please forgive me if I've got it wrong. I know all about the problems encountered by newer TM members when attempting to post pictures - I'm no exception. Luddite said it was an initiation test ... I've failed. I've read all the information and watched the video. My problem is that I can't even seem to sign up to the TM Image hosting site. I keep getting the message to follow the required format when entering my user name and have not figured out what exactly is required in spite of trying many variations - frustrating. I know it must be boring by now for seasoned users to keep hearing 'newbies' asking for help with this, however, I would be grateful for any advice. Is there a way of using pictures stored on my desktop? (i.e. not on a hosting site). If yes, then what is the required file format? Here's hoping someone can offer advice to get me started.
Thank you,
Peter H

I have sent you an email because sometimes we get emails from or server viewed as spam. I keep an eye on the sign up of new users to make sure that they have been validated and if I think they are a genuine user (not a spammer).
In your case I have now validated the account manually so you should be able to log in.
Regarding user names that are in a valid format only letters, numbers, and underline characters are allowed. This is a restriction imposed by the developer of the software and, in the initial stages, I had to modify the software to allow the hyphen character. Since it had to be modified every time there was an upgrade, and since very few people use the hyphen in their user name, I have now given up on that.
I did ask the developer to allow the hyphen but for some reason he does not want to do so.
In any case send me a PM on Talk Morgan or using the contact form on the TM Image hosting site if you continue to have problems.
