Solved Can't upload screenshots

[LoudRam]

The site won't let me upload any screenshots. It says that the pic has the wrong file extension. The pic is a .jpg.

Must be something up with your image..

Did you create the image using a "retro" camera app or some other tool?

Nope, stock camera on my X. I tried it with three different pics.

Ok, I'll send you my email address in a PM.. Can you email me the images? I'll have to check the mime types and metadata to see why the forum doesn't like it.

Thanks

 

[veraderock]

Got them.. I'll try uploading and see what happens..

 

[veraderock]

Hmm, I'll try again from my phone (htc one m8)..

Trying attachments from my phone...

 

[LoudRam]

Just tried it again and it still wouldn't let me. The same two pics.

Could I have a setting wrong in my preferences? I don't see one that would affect this.

 

[veraderock]

can you take a screengrab of the error message you get and email that to me?

 

[LoudRam]

OK

It sounds to me like one of two things, either something on your phone is changing the binary content of the images as it uploads so the forum software doesn't recognize the filetype, or maybe your internet connection is wavering causing an issue in the upload.. Although do shoot me the error so I can see ..

I sent it. I'm on Comcast Wi-Fi at my house and my X is stock. This happened last week too.

There's nothing wrong with the images you emailed (as we can see above).. Is this an intermittent issue for you, and sometimes you are able to upload images?

I received your error message, however it doesn't tell me much as we can't see the image filename or any other details in the window.
