This problem being experienced by quite a few has gone on for days.
The message of overload for a 24 hour period is rubbish.
It has now been in excess of 3 days,
Anyone else still having this annoying problem??

No. I was looking for an alternative method to post pics.
One way would be using photobucket, which I can't seem to do anymore.

Does this pic on Photobucket show up for you OK?:_
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

I don't know if this will help. If you use an off-site image host like Photobucket you don't need to rely on Lithium's hosting. If you are trying to post a lot of pics, or big pics with large files sizes via Lithium, you may be running up against a Lithium/eBay bandwidth limit. See my post here for more on that:

If you open a Photobucket account, click the anonymous head icon (top right hand corner) > settings > albums > Links > Click Html code. Click Save. Then under each thumbnail of your pics in your Photobucket albums the appropriate pre-formatted code will be displayed for you to click and copy. Paste the code into the HTML posting box (not the Rich Text tab). When you click back to the Rich Text tab, your pic should be displayed in the posting box. This pic has just a 50kb file size:

Yes, I can see it, thanks. So what I would need to do once I figure out how you did it...is to post pics until I get the error...then try that. (or someone else could try if they're getting that message now, which I am not ATM).

That's where I get stuck. What IS the appropriate code? I tried all four codes they way you described and it just shows as code (that was my blank post...I erased them).
That may not be help for people that don't have a photo hosting site...in that case, maybe putting it into the attachment slot would work (located at the bottom, when replying). I'm going to guess the same error will show?

Let's say that in PB you went to settings etc and just checked the "HTML" code box, then clicked "save".
When you go back to your library, the HTML code should be shown below each pic. Copy that and paste it in to the reply box AFTER you've clicked the HTML button above the GUI.

If you want to live dangerously Jimmy, you could try to center the image on the page... All you need is two simple HTML tags:
<center>
</center>
After you have pasted your image HTML code into the HTML posting box, copy and paste the first tag above the image code, and then the second tag after the image code. Click Rich Text or Preview, and your pic should be nicely centered on the page, like this:
