Have you read the Gallery FAQs? Go to the main Gallery page and to the right of where it reads Nature Photography is a blue button with an "I" in the centre. Click on that and it should tell you all you need to know about image and file sizes. The most likely reasons for an Invalid File message is that the image is either too small or too large. If these are within limits then look at the file size. Remember that a smaller file size is prefered because some people are still unable to get Broadband.

Hi Bob, do the files you are trying to upload have the right file extention, ie .jpg or .jpeg etc. If the image has been worked on in say Paint Shop Pro, or Photoshop, and is - saved as - the extension, certainly in PSP may end with (.PSP) Your computer will recognise this but the website may not. This can be rectified simply by clicking on rename and change the file extention from for example abcdef.PSP to abcdef.jpg

One way or another someone on the site will help you out, they are a great crowd.

By the way, welcome to WAB.
