what format are they now ?

(right click on the pic - go to properties)

they are jpeg

.jpg files should be ok.

If it doesn't work, try opening the picture with paint then save it using 'save as' and select file type .jpg

Cheers

so you've got a *.jpg saved on your machine somewhere (i.e on your desktop)

and it won't upload to your archive when you use the 'upload new photo' box in your achive


have your tried re-naming the pic ?

I think you lot have helped me, and a couple of new pics although crap gifs are in there

I have had problems over the last year, because when I resize my jpegs, they have something like (large) in the title. The site won't upload them because the title contains brackets. - Try renaming them with letters only, and always end with .jpg

(The site used to accept them without any problem.)
