I get it when the files /photos are too big or wrong format. For size use www.picresize.com and choose 50% smaller.

If the problem continues it may be the file format...jpg is best.

Write your post and submit and then send the photos to admin by email if you still have probs and we will put them on for you asap.

We will investigate, in the meantime try taking a screenshot of the picture you want to upload, or saving it under a different file format like PNG.

It seems to have started happening about the same time as the last site maintenance.

I had the same problem, tried upload from both PC with jpeg file and also direct from my phone with the camera.
Have not had this problem before, previously have not had to change either the size or the format.

Is it the same photo you tried to upload?
