Uploading pictures to my Photo Archive

Yesterday I tried to upload a couple of pictures to a new folder in my Photo Archive.

The folder is called "2025 Suspension"

I tried several times to upload an image of four dampers I had taken off my car. Upload appeared to work but everytime I did it I got a picture of someone elses car (not my dampers). The car has a Red/Orange body with a Yellow bonnet and seems to be parked in front of a Garage.

I've tried to insert the image below.




I tried with another image, this time the springs and spring seats from the same dampers. I got another, different picture, of the same car.

I've tried to insert the image below.




I decided to leave it yesterday. I logged back in this morning to check what happened: did it fix itself overnight? It did not.

Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong? is this a bug on the website? HELP PLEASE

yes its a website 'feature/ bug'
every image has to have a sitewide unique name.
I suggest prefixing your image name with your username.

ie instead of 'img1049.jpg' rename it 'jag-img1049.jpg'

As per gremlin1234's guide, rename your image file's with your username in front.
That should solve the problem.

Also make sure the image files aren't too big (800x800 pixels or smaller).
