All the ones we have uploaded are not photos like the beautiful balloon, but rather thumbnails for people to click on and open. We are getting the "not a valid file" error too and we do have a JPEG that are well below the maximum allowed size.

OK, I've forwarded the message to our programmers. Hopefully, they will be able to figure this out.

I am using the browse option and trying to pick a picture from my computer.
It seems like the same problem, I've merged the threads.

I continue to get the colon at the end of the file name..... example picture.jpg: when uploading to albums or to attach an image to the post. If I could remove the colon things would work.

For some Reason I am unable to upload new .jpg files onto my albums. Is there some glitch in place. This issue has been plaguing me all day.

All I get is a message saying "Invalid File". Why ?

Do you have any idea on when this issue will be solved.

An estimated time frame would be enough.

Thanks

Yes, this^ is happening to me today (a few days ago it was working-at least I was able to change my profile photo).
I'm trying to upload an image to my album to include a picture for tomorrow's QOTD thread,
and I got the "invalid file" error, and it didn't accept the picture file.
What is up, when might this be remedied ?

Default Posting a profile pic

I'm suddenly having a problem attaching a profile pic. I'm using the same photos, same files, I always have but now am getting Invalid File message with any of the photo's I've used. They are all with in parameters listed in regards to size. I am befuddled.....
