Not sure if this is the right spot, but I have been having trouble loading the last few days. I don't get the message telling me its too big, I just get a blank box where it normally says its been sucessful. Some will post and others will not. Any ideas?

I always make the longest part of the photo 3000 pixels and leave the resolution what ever it is, but in the last few days some are loading and others are not. Today I changed one of them to 100 resolution and it still did not load.

and .. you know for SURE that it is not a .PSD (or some other) .. it's an easy mistake to make (if you're blond, like me)

what is the file size of the 3000x? ... a JPEG of that size should be no more than 1.5 - 2.5 MB (on average) .. it could be 4 or 5 MB .. but, certainly not 25 MB

I say this because somebody tried to upload a file that size, thinking it was a JPEG


if you have Irfanview, (windows) it will tell you if you have a wrong extension just prior to displaying the image

The one I tried to post this morning was 10943KB with a PNG extention, small than I usually post. I have tried this file 4 times now and each time I get the same thing a blank box where the it usually says successful upload. I have another I tried the other day and its the same extention and its was 11687KB

i dont think the server accepts 16 bit PNG anymore - could this be the problem? I sometimes forget to switch back to 8bit before upload.

I don't use 16 bit I save all my files for this site the same way and it accepts some and nothing on the others. I had one post just find yesterday before posting the one in question, both saved the exact same way. I am going to try another right now and see what happens.

I just did another photos. I changed the pixel size on the horizontal to 3000 let the vertical default to its proper size. I left the resolution as is at 240, and then saved as PNG and when asked used the interface, even though I have no idea why, but I read somewhere to use that. :-) The file size on that one is just under 7000K. The ones I am having trouble with have not been cropped at all, could it be there are just too big.

Sorry should have mentioned that yes the new one uploaded without a problem. I will try downsizing some more and see if that helps. I have gotten messages before that a file was too big so the blank screen is throwing me off.
