Random photo appears

Very strange. I've tried several times to post a photo and although the address is correct a totally different photo appears. Not even one of mine!

Any ideas/

each photo on this site has to have a unique name.
so instead of calling it 'photo1.jpg'
a better name is prefixing it with your username.
ie 'jb-photo1.jpg'

Very many thanks. I've done that an it has worked. The strange thing is that I've never had this problem before.

Can anyone tell me max size of pics pls.

I think I found out that any pics over 2MB won't upload so always try and resize them accordingly.

I've found the same as above on both counts, make sure your image filename is unique and file size below 2MB.

Although when I've tried to upload a conflicting filename it's refused to upload, highlighting the issue.
