trouble posting pictures

Post by agent66 »

Can anyone give me some direction on uploading pictures??? Every time I try to post them, the message "The image file you tried to attach is invalid" I'm not too computer saavy to start with so it seems like brain surgery.

Agent 99. are you trying to download something that you have yourself downloaded from the internet? If so, you may need to open it in 'Paint' and save it as a '.jpeg / .jpg / .bmp' even though the original is one of those formats anyway. You should be able to download it OK then.
If not, I think you need to tell us in more detail exactly what procedure you are trying to carry out.

The pictures are ones that I took myself on my digital camera. They are saved in a "folder"under pictures, all of that is fine, but when the moment comes to submit the picture - that portion is where things go wrong, the only filename on the images(5 pictures) is 002JPEG, 003JPEG and so on. I will keep trying however because my girlfriend and I have posted pictures before on this site bu cant remember what step we may have missed.

OK. I am assuming that you can make the picture from your camera appear on your computer screen. If you have Windows Vista or later O.S., you should simply use the Snipping Tool to make a copy of your picture. I think you should then be able to post the copy. I think perhaps you are trying to post direct from the Camera Wizard, which it won't like.

I had the same problem. I just reduced the resolution size of the image.
