posting pics

Anyone having trouble posting pics? I posted 1 yesterday but can't get the other one on. It keeps saying wrong file type. But they both jpeg and on the same file.

Can you copy and paste the exact message that you are getting here?

ERROR: Wrong filetype (has to be a .JPEG, .PNG or .GIF). Yours is:

This is what it says Thanks.

Are you sure that the file isn't corrupted? Can you open it on your desktop? If it ends in one of those types then you should be able to upload it :/

Also try:
Logging out and logging back in.
Force refreshing your browser (Ctrl + F5).
And as a last result clearing your cache.

Yes I can open it on my desktop. Will try again Thanks but have already tried 4 times. must be my computer.

That would be another thing to try. Put it on a thumb drive (or email it to yourself) and try uploading from another computer.

Right click on the pic and check the properties to make sure that it is a JPEG.

Also try renameing the file to some name that you would not have ever had on your computer.........something really weird like "zoomonkey", just make sure its something you never would have used before.

If you can open the fiile in an editor (even paint would work) click "save as" and assign the new name to it there. THis will give you a second file with the new name without touching the original file.

We've seen problems with some images taken from cell phones or when the image is too big, or the image name is weird characters. We're working on upgrades to our system to be able to handle more of these situations, but in the interim, try resizing the image on your computer and saving it with a simple name like "myhorse.jpg" and then try uploading it again.
