David,

It sounds like your scanner doesn't have software installed to support text as editable text.  Please note, I said installed.   It may be there in the software, but require different options in order to be installed.  Beyond that I lack technical ability.  

Re. size of image, from what I've seen here I would say much larger images have been uploaded.

Here, you can either attach an image (see sample) via the browse frame in the reply screen.  It says maximum 100 kb.  I'm trying 154 kb.  & allows about 10 extensions.  the extensions or '.jpg' end of your file could be the problem.

Or you can go to online photohost software.  Image Shack is an option here also.

Recently I've become aware of Tiny Pic.  http://tinypic.com/?t=postupload, which lets you resize images.  The normal forum size is 640 pixels in width with a resolution of 150 or higher.

So, let's do the same image and see what happens.    Once uploaded you copy the 'code for forums & message boards'  as in:






With a bit of luck I'll have the same image here 2x  I think the attachment didn't take.

Over here most software is set to US spelling.  It takes effort to set it at even English spelling.

Whatever works.

I'm afraid I just go ahead an key stuff myself, even though my proof reading is yukky.
