RememberSchiff Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 What is the file extension? jpg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattR Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Here's a wedding picture of my garbage cans. This is a .jpg. So, what are the file extensions of the images you want to upload? BTW, it may be case sensitive, so .jpg is okay but .JPG is not.

MattR Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Is this a browser or OS issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69RoadRunner Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 When I opened the pictures in Photos and tried copy and paste. It failed. When I used Snip and Sketch to do a screenprint of the images and did copy and paste, it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It failed on my phone (Samsung) and on my Windows laptop using Chrome. I could only paste photos from doing a screen capture with Snip and Sketch.

MattR Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 When you say you pasted the photo did you use the "Add Files" button in the forum post editor? That's what I used and it worked fine. Either way, it looks like you got it posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69RoadRunner Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 In Snip and Sketch, I did ctrl-A, ctrl-C. Then in the body of the post I was trying to make, I did ctrl-V. Not upload file. Is there some filter on EXIF data? Here's a pic of my ugly mug hiking with my EVH pack that it did let me upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberSchiff Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Okay. I repeated your steps. In Snip and Sketch, I did ctrl-A, ctrl-C. Then in the body of the post I was trying to make, I did ctrl-V. (the Upload file gauge uploaded without error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69RoadRunner Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Yeah, I don't know why it didn't like uploading the original files. I had uploaded the originals to Instagram. When you do that, it saves a reduced copy on your phone. I tried uploading those copies and that's what failed. They failed from my phone and laptop. They failed doing file upload or opening them in photos and doing ctrl-a, ctrl-c, and then in the body, ctrl-v. By using Snip and Sketch on those photos creating yet another version, I was able to paste from Snit and Sketch into the body of the posting. So maybe Instagram adds something to the EXIF data in the file that this site's software rejects? The original images are over 31mb, so I know I can't upload them.
