258603 2004-08-05 21:07:00 Hi guys

I'm trying to upload an image of my desktop but got this message:

The file type '.JPG' isnt a valid uploadable file type. Go back and choose a valid one

I thought Jpeg is the preferred option?

258604 2004-08-05 21:38:00 Yep, .jpeg is one of the prefered image formats. Make sure it is under 400KB and that you don't have any caps or odd characters in the file name.

.jpg filename MUST be lower case, this is in the instructions on the site.

258606 2004-08-05 21:57:00 Yeah you guys are right - I used my name with an capital s and the b*gger did not want to upload. Sorry for the stupidity. I missed it in the instructions too

Same thing happened to me when I used Paint to save the file as .jpg.

So I brought the file up again in Irfan View and saved it as a .jpg again.
This time it went through with no problem.

Noticed in Paint when you go to save it, it has " JPEG(*.JPG; *JPEG; *.JPE; *.JFIF)" as file type for a .jpg. Maybe that is where the capital letter comes in the first place.

Just a thought, may not have any bearing on the situation

What a nice little program - that Irfanview - I've never been able to open certain graphical files my daughter saved on the lappie, but lo and behold - they opened up (Open Sesame).

Thanks for the help
