Can't get photo's to upload

**Jolenels** · February 25th, 2015

I can't get any photo's to upload. They are cell phone photos so I tried directly from my cell phone. Invalid format. I tried to save them from the facebook to my computer and then upload them. Invalid format. I tried changing the format (they were .jpeg and I changed them to .bitmap just to try) but invalid format. I cropped them to make them smaller, invalid format. I'm not very tech savvy so I need it explained to me in dummy terms what I am doing wrong! Thanks

I'm not really sure if you are doing anything wrong. I don't often upload directly to the site via my phone, I normally use tapatalk or I use an outside host, like photobucket and copy and paste the "IMG code" into a post. I'll upload a pic here to verify tapatalk uploads work though:

I am also having a problem uploading pictures.

I tried uploading pics from my computer, but for some reason the forum site won't let me do this today.

I get an "This is not a valid image file" message even though it's the same format I've used before (also changing the format / size doesn't work today).

I sent a pm to the admin. Photo uploads have been an off and on issue for a while now.

Thanks for the help guys!

Current photo upload issues are most likely due to the server migration the site underwent earlier this week. We have notified the site administrator and are actively working in the background to test the sites functionality and squash any other issues. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and please let us know if you come across any other errors.

Thanks for the answer, I was just about to see if there was one, as I am also experiencing the same issue! I shall sit and wait and see what happens then

I was having the same problem and Amy directed me to using photo bucket and it works like a charm now except for uploading pictures in my albums. Photo bucket is super easy. Just upload your pictures and click on the photo you are wanting to put in a post. When you do to the right the very last html code it gives you saying image is the one you want to click to copy and then just paste it in your post

Hope you got it figured out!

I've tried uploading directly from my computer, using tinypic, and using photobucket! I'm getting an "invalid file" error each time! help!

**Tzunu un** · March 10th, 2015

I hope that the photo uploading issue is fixed soon.

**DigitalPunk** · March 10th, 2015

So do we. We have reported the issue. Just waiting on the fix.

When using Photobucket, use upload from URL... copy the pic addy into the bar and be sure to uncheck the box; that's what I did to post the one above.
Thank Paul for this trick

That seems like a bit of work. Easier to just copy and paste the 'IMG' link into the body of your post.

Heh, whatever gets the job done though

**pannaking22** · March 18th, 2015

Any updates on this being fixed? I tried uploading a few photos from my computer and I was having the same invalid file type problem everyone else seems to be having.

Very sorry for the inconvenience
John is aware of it. He is working it.

Thanks

Yes Paul's method will work. However for those of us that DO NOT want to use photo bucket , and using a PC--- it is not working.
