"The file uploaded was not an image as expected"???

[GuilfordRailman]

I'm a new member and I've been trying to upload photos of my new project design and the following message appears: "The file uploaded was not an image as expected". I have tried jpeg, jpg, and png files and nothing has worked. What file type is supported on this forum?

did you try just dragging it from your explorer file to the screen?

I was able to use the Paint App to convert the files

All of those file types should work unless there is a prohibited character in the title. I don't remember what they are. Otherwise maybe a moderator would have to answer. There's at least three ways to get the same image to appear in a post. I have used "dragging", copy & paste, and the insert image icon.

As Willie said --- those three work!
I might add that a photo/file with "html" taken -say -from FecesBook will not post - if I spelled it correctly?

For some reason I couldn’t simply save the file as a png or jpeg directly but if I converted it with another program it worked. Strange but at least it’s fixed. Thanks for your input.

Fecesbook Definitely using that now!

The images need to be in certain formats. The default setting that SCARM was using to save images wasn’t suitable for the forum so I had to make sure to change each one to a suitable format. What format are your images being uploaded as?
