| 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? Sarel |

| 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. Cheers Murray P |

| 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 Sarel |

| 258607 | 2004-08-06 01:14:00 | Hi Sarel 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 Regards Marg. |
