Jim,
I'm trying to upload images into my campaign jounal entries. They are always in (.jpg) format and within the Kb requirements. Will not upload. Is there another option that I can try?

:-?

Are you sure the image is small enough? There aren't really any work arounds I can think of. You could post the image in your gallery space and put a link to it (no html) in your journal entry.

Hi there

I just uploaded one and it worked, but I did notice that Photoshop was a bit misleading as to the file size. Although I was using "Save for Web" and file size looked right, when I checked the .jpg it was over the limit - so err on the safe side a bit.

The other thing is you say "images" - I think you can only add one pic per entry and one entry per day.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help, Jim. The jpg is the correct size but error messege, after I hit submit, indicates that it is not a jpg, even though I saved in Photoshop as that. After reading Merlin's reply, I noticed that if I click on the file once, it shows me the identity as a 'photoshop' doc and not as a jpeg. I use a MAC. Then tried to outsmart the whole thing and email the image back to myself. I receive it as a JPG! Great, but now it's way too big again: around 120 kb



I'll just put a link to it in the entry box like Jim suggested. As if anyone is interested anyways...
