Afternoon. I've been trying to upload some pics into my archive, but it keeps coming up with sorry! unsupported file type. The pics are normal jpeg files. Any one have a guess at what's going wrong? Or is it easier to just use a photobucket/flicr type account?

Make sure the name is totally unique - this is a 'feature' of this site... if someone else has put a file called DCF0001.jpg in their area, no-one else can use that name in their own area.

Try changing the name of one file and see if matters improve.

Ah, I didn't realise that! I thought it was just the description that had to be unique.

It usually puts a (1) or (2) etc after it for you.


The unsupported file i get this sometimes, if the large size is too large !

for spome reason, it also seems to take exception to files saves as .JPG instead of .jpg (yeah, it doesn't seem to like capital letters)

hmm, i'm sure i've had problems with capital letters before. ah well... the file name is always unique on mine though, i very rarewly rename them, and i use my phone camera, and i've never deleted anything off it, so it can't be using the same name twice

bah, i don't know

ah, could be it.

somethingi've noticed though, is sometimes i'll put a picture in my archive, but the site renames the file name itself. by sticking a 2 or a 3 in front of it. why does it do that?

its not a problem, just wondering like
