PoTD Submission problems

[ChewyLSB]

I tried submitting a PoTD today, but I get an error. It says that it must be a JPG, but my image is a JPG... so I don't know what's up.

Any help?

[Lartnev]

Too large?

Although I suppose this really should be in the Website forum :)

[ChewyLSB]

I really wasn't sure what forum I should've posted this in... I'll check the size, I didn't think of that.

EDIT: Hmm, it's only about 50 kb, when the max is 500... so...

[MrPaul]

I've had that problem, too.

[JetRaiden]

yea it just happens sometimes. this is one of those problems thats fixed by waiting a couple hours.

[martyr]

kinda like some other problems that come up sometimes. like old people, or sunlight.

[ChewyLSB]

Well, I "waited a couple of hours" (half a day), and I'm still getting the problem.

[Lartnev]

try saving it as a bmp and using another program to convert it to jpg and then try uploading it :)

On a side note, I need more POTD's we are at a record low of under 20 in the display queue

[ChewyLSB]

Well, when I took the actual screenshot, it was a .bmp, so I opened up Paint and I saved it as a .jpg... so...

[Hamma]

Try and save it as a jpg in another program.. what is the error?

Anything in particular?

Error: Only JPEG files are allowed for upload (jpg, jpeg).

I'll try saving it with a different proggy...

EDIT: Okay, I tried saving it with Photoshop, same error.

[Hamma]

It is damn eet! Ive saved it as a ".jpg" and ".jpeg" in Photoshop, a jpeg in photo plus and I dont have paint but I doubt itd make a difference.
I've had this problem for a few months new, ever since my last bunch made PoTD.

Edit: thar she is, just an eg: its only 69kb, works on imageshack, just not here. *weep*

edit:

go ahead. accuse me of not knowing how to save a jpeg.

[Lartnev]

/me accuses martyr of not knowing how to save a jpeg.... but only because he told him to :(

[MrPaul]

PSU: Where POTD's have bugs
Is this a new addition to the top left? :rofl:

[ChewyLSB]

At least I'm not the only one now...

[martyr]

haha, indeed. well, at least we now know why the potd queue is so low.

[martyr]

oh! guess what, everybody:

it worked when i used IE (avant)
and fails using firefox (my default)

[Fragmatic]

I love TR gal events, but look what happens when I try to fly -

edit - works in IE, but not Opera/mozilla firefox :(

[ChewyLSB]

Yup, you're right, I submitted through Internet Explorer, Firefox doesn't work.

[MrPaul]

that a TR Werner event? ;)
It certainly was :)

Looks like theres a lack of IE usage here. :thumbsup:

[Lartnev]

Well if it only works in Internet Explorer, I think it should have a little note about it before you submit it, that way everyone knows why it isn't working :nod:

Well done Mr Martyr :)

[Hamma]

This is your punishment for using a browser that 10 other people use. :p

[martyr]

[Lartnev]

:rofl:

[ChewyLSB]

Firefox > Internet Explorer > j00 f00
