Still no luck..have compressed, zipped and and still unable to upload. first file was JPG so no problem with type and sizes under limits. Problem with Forum? Don't mean to Hijack BTW.

Just uploaded some pics and a pdf file, some 20 minutes ago, no problems.
Try it from the phone or tablet if you can.

I use Photobucket for all my forum photos and insert with the IMG command

Photobucket has a link that contains the right format for each photo and you just need to paste into the thread

Thanx for that info, Don.
I'd like to run my Benchman without the 4th, but I get an Error (4th axis encoder open) IIRC.
I have unchecked "Rotary Axis" in the Benchman Setup panel (pg E-66), but the error persists.
Is there something else I need to do?

Rex,
In order to run a 4th axis ready machine without the 4th axis, there is a jumper plug that must be plugged into the connector on the back wall of the machine. I will have to look-up and find that information for you. I will see if I can find it later today.
