Cannot upload image

RangerWickett · Nov 15, 2012

Maybe it will work here. I keep getting the error that a 600kb jpg I want to upload "is not a valid image file."

Okay, I couldn't get it to upload as a 600kb file, but when I shrank it crazy small to 140kb, it uploaded. It's a .jpg file, though, and the site claims that I can upload files of that type as large at 9 MB. Did something change?

Checking it out.

Hm, it seems to have worked now.

Nope, it only let me upload one image. Is there perhaps a limit to how many images you can upload in a given time period?

And before I got here to tell you it was fixed! Were you just trying every minute since?

RangerWickett · Nov 16, 2012

Well, I can't upload any large images now.

Hmmm. I managed to upload a large PDF and couple of dozen images here. Are you still struggling?

Can't add anything when I edited a message above.

I just tried adding a smaller file and a larger file, but that had very different names, and those worked.

Okay, when I use files I had from longer ago, they upload fine. It's only stuff I made this week. Maybe since I'm getting the 'not a valid file' error, that means something's wrong with the files. But they open fine on my computer.

So one of the files that didn't work, I just uploaded in a zip file.

Okay, it must've been something with the software I used (MS Office Picture Manager). I just opened the file in Paint, added a single pixel of black, then saved it in that program, and it worked fine.
