Ok - why can't I post a particular pic?

Yesterday I tried posting two pictures. One was for the green theme, the other for the album cover challenge. Got them both uploaded, but when I clicked to get to the page to organize and tag, I got an "explorer cannot display webpage" message. Also tried uploading using the basic uploader, but same problem.

Tried off and on for over 5 hours to get to the page, no luck.

I emailed @scrivna and this morning, I WAS able to get to the organize page, but only the green theme shot was there.

So just now I tried uploading the album cover image again - same problem. File was huge in photoshop, but I saved it as medium in jpeg - at about 6MB. And usually I can load files that size without any problem.

Any idea what might be wrong? I resized the image to be small (260kb) and reloaded, but still can't get to the organize and tag page. And regardless, it would be good to know what's wrong with the file so I don't run into this again!

tx!!!

@gavincci yep... i converted to jpg before uploading... so i'm pretty sure that's not it... and i haven't had a problem with this kind of thing before... i've done other composite shots in photoshop, converted to jpg and had no problem loading them...

@gavincci tx!!!! hmm... ok... i just did that... BUT, now i'm wondering where do i go to find that email and i'm guessing it's the same page for organizing and tagging that i can't get to now... guess i'll have to wait for the block to clear... sigh... oh well, it's not like i have nothing else to do ;p

It should show up on the upload page if it worked

I had a similar problem last week, I'd added an exclamation mark to the title. Once removed it uploaded fine, and I also keep my files below 1MB : )

@5unflow3r tx Trina... i DO have the message saying i have uploads to organize, but i can't get to the page where they are...

@lorraineb tx Lorraine... i might try to remember to shrink the file size before i post in the future, but that means keeping two copies as i don't want to lose the larger size for printing down the road :)

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks back & I never did manage to get that image to upload which was a shame.
