Why doesn't WAB like my Heron

[dickie'sbird]

I already have 2 photos of this Heron on WAB but for some reason they have deleted my 3rd. The file size is correct, and the name...and it's not tampered with so why? Has anyone else had this problem



Many thanks for any help,

Jean

Hmm, that's a bit strange... it was there earlier - I remember seeing it

Contact a moderator, they alone can tell you what is happening.

At least I know I wasn't imagining it...it was on my Gallery. Thank you for commenting on my post. But I'm still wondering why it was removed...and when I emailed to ask why, was told to put it on the forum

Regards,

Jean

Thank you, but how do I contact a moderator? I've already emailed WAB and was instructed to put it on the forum.

Sorry that didn't help. I suggest you wait for a bit, volunteers moderate this and I am sure they will pick this up. They have a lot to do, but are thorough.

Cheers for the info Kayleigh, I'll wait to see if the mods come back to me on this via my post. If not, I'll contact one of them. I'm puzzled and just want an answer for the next time I want to upload a pic!
