Uplading photos

[+zarbi&zarbibird]

Please can someone help? Since the new upgrade, I've been unable to upload any photos when I'm logging a cache. I was finally going to have a go at this months competition but can't put any photos on my logs What on earth am I doing wrong? It comes up with a message saying Error and some geocaching logos.

Thanks, Chrissy

I've had exactly the same problem annoyingly so will be watching this thread with interest.

What size... ie Are they too big?

 

The site likes something like 800px (pixels) max size.

There is a kb size limit, but I'm not sure what it is.

It says it is 1974x1644 pixels. I've never looked at the size, just taken the photo and uploaded it (or upladed, as I wrote on the title page!)

The site did/does scale down 'a little' but I think it may have lost that facility in the last big upgrade.

Hooray!!! I did a clever thing (with zarbi's help) and reduced the size of the photo. It worked! It uploaded (or upladed, doesn't matter which!) Thank you for your help
