Photo upload issues?
Jon Ison - 14/12/17 at 05:47 PM

Trying to upload a photo to add into a for sale post and this image appears, done it several times now, not a photo I've taken or ever seen before?

I see nothing. But I have seen it before where pictures get mixed up if they are named the same as other photos already uploaded, even if by another uuser.

If your pic description has been used before it can show that pic not yours. Call it something more specific eg
Loveltcarpic14dec2017

This is the pic that keeps appearing, it disappeared above because I deleted it as best guess.

nope original picture is nothing to do with me,
ps I test IT for a living; I still can't work out whats happening yet, but unique filenames certainly plays a part.

I think I should 'flag' this post for Chris to look into

edit, post reported
very odd issues with photo upload

Filename used before on LCB is the only issue I've had on here. Changing the filename (and description) seems to solve it for me. If it's not that then ChrisW might well be the best person to advise.

^^ this is generally the problem. Change the filename to something unique without any special characters (ie punctuation characters)
