Uploading photos/attachments
 

I am not able to upload photos of any kind lately. No matter what I do, it says invalid file.

I have tried attaching them to posts. I have tried putting photos in my photo albums but nothing seems to work.

The only way I can put pictures is to drop and drag from websites such as glitter graphics. If it save those files and them try to attach them as in posts, I get an invalid file error message.

Any clues?

I posted a similar message in another thread just now! I can't upload photos either, I tried to put some in my albums, so I'm wondering the same thing!:confused:

ahh , copying my replies here from the other thread...:)

Just checked mine

this is on my upload page-

[ Picture Limits
Pictures Remaining 51
Maximum File Size per Picture 97.7 KB
Maximum Picture Dimensions 800 by 800 Pixels
Pictures will be automatically resized to fit within these constraints if possible. However, you may receive better results by doing it manually.
]


I just added 2 more to mine and it worked fine...
I just let the forum software re size it if it's needed.

I know others have more than 2 in their albums.

If the problem continues for you -You can try clearing your cache & cookies to see if that helps. Sometimes things get "stuck" there and that fixes it up.
And if not we can do more detective work.

I hope others will post if they are having the same problem too.

I managed to load one more pic, but I don't have time right now to try more than that, so will try later!:D

Seems to be working now.

:)

check your "manage attachments". you may be up to your limit in space. it's under Miscellaneous. click attachments.

you can clear the attchments of older posts. especially if you ever uploaded smileys. they won't be missed much if anyone is searching older posts.

using photobucket to post pictures solves the attachment problems.

The problem resolved itself with no action on my part. :confused:

I just spent the last 45minutes trying to upload 3 photo's into an album and 1 for an avatar. I kept getting the invalid file thing.

I have dial up, does that make a difference?


DAY

It shouldn't matter- except for the time factor-
it would take a lot longer to upload photos , because dial up has slower connection speeds. Did you try them 1 at a time?

for the avatar it does have to be the right size before uploading -
Avatar info - {Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 85 by 85 pixels or 64.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

If you need more help with your avatar there is a good thread in our Computer Forum-

I can't add any pictures to my albums. It either says say too many kb's or gives a photo number or say invalid. I resized one picture to 14 kb and it didn't work.:confused:

I tried to create a new album and nothing would work. I already have 2 albums that I had no problem creating. It shows I have 49 pictures left.

I cleaned out my photo downloads from previous threads and that didn't work either.

I'm confused and need some help please.:)
