Clear out your cookies, run a defrag (if you have windows), then restart. Also you can check the size of the image and maybe reduce it if it is too big. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Most likely you are trying to upload a photo that is too large. In most any photo program, you can resize (w/o cropping). Generally, an 800 X 600 uploads fine. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Many of today's modern digital camera shoot photos at 10 or more megapixels. While that is fine for printing it is serious overkill for computer display where the average user has a monitor that displays 2 megapixels or much less. These files are also large in size and can take a while to upload. It just makes sense to take control of the process and resize your images to a more reasonable 800x600 and under 200kb or so before uploading. The resize will be under your control and the upload will go dramatically faster. Many free programs make the resize easy. A very inexpensive program called "a smaller image" makes the process extra easy. I suspect the upload function at Groundspeak does not handle large file sizes very well. The error does not come across as very meaningful. Quote Link to comment
+Bodoni Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Try saving your photo as a .png image. I had to do that as the .jpg wouldn't upload. It was well below the size (pixel and KB) limits/recommendations and would not upload until I saved it as a .png instead. Quote Link to comment
