Photo Attachment Assistance

[tacorigirl]

When I try to attach a photo to a new post (jpeg file), it says "The image file you tried to attach is invalid." Any suggestions?

Can anyone help?

Check the format.. Is it a jpeg or something else?

Check the size... You may need to make it smaller, I find 500x700 usually works.

Check the file name... It needs to be something unique, if the file name has been used before it won't work. I usually just put some random numbers in it.

Good luck!

Thanks for that tip about the file name, HOT, as I also can't figure out how to get a photo uploaded. I wanted something more than a blue square for my avatar.

I'll try those tips! Good luck Tacorigirl - hope this helps you, too!

Probably too large. Open it in paint. Resize it to 50% it's current size and retry.

Filename is no longer a problem with PS2, btw. You can name it whatever you want.

Shows how often I post photos since I got an iPad.. I didn't even know!

Woo hoo! So glad it worked for you. I much prefer avatars. Makes recognizing posters easier.
