Good morning Budlia63

I have problems when using Firefox web browser, it must be to do with the settings on mine, I haven't worked out how to change the settings but I  also have Google Chrome web browers and if I can't upload or download I use that.  I have uploaded some photos this week and been successful so think it may be to do with your settings  or web browser.  Try clearing the history and cookies on your computer if you haven't already.  I am not a computer boffin so hopefully someone will give you some more advice.  By the way your dog looks like a cat Good luck!

hi chris9 have tried deleting history and then i couln't get on here quickly Oops! Still can't get any pics on so will have to carry on without

Hi Once you use the website again it will save it for the next time and so will get quicker again.  They are very confusing computer's, I clean mine regularly and also have Spybot to help keep it clean.  I know there was a bug the last couple of weeks on this website, I wasn't receiving emails responses for the threads but last week received them all at once.  Hope you get some luck with the photos.

regards

Chris

Hello budlia63,

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble uploading images. Can I just check that the images you're trying to upload are in 'jpeg' format, and the file size is below 1Mb? If the file size of the image is too large this might be causing problems.

If the files are below 1Mb, just let me know, and I'll ask you for a few details about your system, in order that our technical team can help you.

Thanks,

Daniel Haynes

Hello budlia63.

Yes, your report came through - many thanks!

I think the problem might be browser related - you're running an old version of Internet Explorer (version 7). Ordinarily, I would suggest uploading to the most recent version (version 9), but you need Windows Vista or Windows 7 as your operating system to run that. However, it is worth updating to Version 8, which is compatible with Windows XP, your operating system. You can download it for free here:

Alternatively, you could try the latest version of Firefox or Chrome, to see if that resolves the problem.

I hope this helps. Do you let me know if you have any further problems.

Best,

Daniel
