When I try to upload an image to my website I get this error message. If anybody can help please put replies in easy to follow, step by step 1,2,3 answers as I am Computer illiterate and don't want to damage any other part of the script. Thanks in advance!!

Looks like you might have the CHMOD the adverts file to allow write permissions from a local script.

Thanks for your help. You are the first person who has come up with that suggestion - from 3 forums. I have changed the CHMOD code on the adverts file from 755 to 777 and it all appears to upload properly now. Is this code okay or should I use a different one?
If it goes wrong again I'll definitely be back to this forum first.

yup 777 should be fine if your just keeping pictures in that folder.
