The most common cause is size of photo; it would have said so, but easy to overlook. Can you be more detailed about the pic your trying to upload and the exact error message.
When you start an attachment upload it should look like this, and if under 400 kb load ok like this did...
If larger, it should advise that it is too large, but when I tried today, I kept getting this instead...
If you're getting that, I can see why you'd be confused. That's a board glitch I think.

I tried again, both with Safari and Firefox. The file size is 170 kB but reducing it to 70 kB didn't help. I got the following from Safari:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari could not open the page “http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/newattachment.php?do=manageattach&p=3927681” because the server is not responding.
I uploaded the same file to the Scuba Toys forum without issue.

Now that is odd. I uploaded those screen shots with no problem using FF. Sometimes I have to forfeit using FF and open Google Chrome or yuck-IE, but never had an issue loading less than 400 Kb pics at attachments. And you said Jpeg @ 170 Kb. Nope, I have had a problem loading Jpeg pics under 400. I'm stumped, sorry I can't help.
As a review, these are the accepted formats...
Now the questions is why can I load them and you can't...??
Wait, you said Jpg. I'm not sure the difference. I don't have any Jpg to test, but isn't that about the same thing as Jpeg?

I'm getting a different error when I click on the link. It indicates that there is possibly something wrong with your account setup. I don't have admin privileges to fix it so if El Orans or another Admin doesn't respond to this soon, send a PM.
In the interim, you can link to the photo over on Scubatoys in a post here.
The file extensions are interchangeable.

Yeah SJ said above "It indicates that there is possibly something wrong with your account setup. I don't have admin privileges to fix it so if El Orans or another Admin doesn't respond to this soon, send a PM." Since DEMA Show - Home is this weekend, some of Admin will be busy and others maybe time challenged. If it's not fixed by Monday, then I would PM El Orans then. Good luck.
