Newbie needing help uploading photos

**eejit** · 04-10-11, 10:32 AM

Hi there, i'm new to this site and have tried to upload a few photos but each time it finishes uploading it says 'invalid file' (they are just jpegs at 8bit).

Can someone point out where i'm doing wrong?

Cheers, eejit

Hi, I would suggest that the files are too large, if you check out any image in the gallery you will see how big the file is, that should help you to see what file sizes are ok to upload. All the best.

I also am new to this forum and have tried to upload a file that is 200 KB 800x600 pixels but get a message that there is an error creating a folder. I clicked on the link to contact the webmaster, but the email address that appears in the email is invalid (it's a URL that itself doesn't work). I'm confused... Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi there

I think that there's a problem with the galleries at the moment. The servers were changed this morning and so I think it's a problem connected to that - people are looking into it right now, but it's possible you may have issues uploading at the moment.

Thanks
