    Could it be the file size is too large? Some of my digital photos are ginormous in their original state and need to be downsized before I upload them.

    I'm sure @Ernie can provide some input here

    Had the same problem when I tried to load in the test area. I would get an error message but no explanation, when I asked Ernie he said it was probably a slow connection and it timed out. If your file is too big it tells you that. What I did was to drag the picture to my desktop and then into the post and that worked. I haven't had a chance since to try again.

    What Willie said is correct.

    Some of those digital cameras safe a HUGE file. It's ways to much for the server to handle... You might need to adjust the settings on your camera to save the images in a lower quality.

    All that being said, a timeout error is generally because of bad a poor connection.

    According to my server error logs, one of the images that you tried to upload was over 12MB in size! That is a HUGE image file!

    I do see that you have now managed to upload an image.... :thumbsup:
