Having trouble downloading photos from my personal folders to my photo archive....go on give us a clue?????

A common problem is having file names that aren't unique, e.g "DCF0001.jpg". If you change the name to something unique like "FredAndAlbertGoDriving.jpg" then it will possibly (?) be accepted.

file size can be a problem need to reduce the size

reasonable size, no spaces in the file name, only seems to accept .jpg extentions, its 'usually' alright with 2 pictures with the same filename, and will 'often' automatically rename it by putting a number in front of it, and don't use any !"£$%^&*( or) in the file name

and if you want to show them on a post then you should right click on the picture and select propertys, the web address can then be copyed

don't go mad with picture size as it can be a right pain to view later

Nick a photo from someones archive onto your desktop, then try to put it in your archive.
You can steal one of mine
Don't know if you have looked lately, but there appears to be 9 photos in your archive

it will give that meassage if either, the file's too big or not a .jpg file.
open in in mspaint, choose image, stretch/skew, and put it to about 25% x 25%, hit save, and then try.
