Upload problem

Just tried to upload a photo,all was ok until I press the 'submit' icon on the bottom of the page.The photo is showing a percentage scale at the bottom left corner of my screen as if it is loading.When it gets to 100%, the page displays ' UPLOAD ERROR' -- invalid file.
It is the exact file I uploaded to other sites with no problem.
Has something changed???

Mark,the max size is 2MB.When you go to upload a photo,in the 'Image Options' section,there is a blue header bar above 'choose file',click on this and it gives you the file size.

Ah!

That will explain all my 'Invalid File' messages. Used to be 5MB

I tried uploading an image of 1.25 MB and got the invalid file error ( it was a JPEG )

Took it down to just under 1 MB and it went through fine .

Chris,I tend to use three principles....1) if at first you don't succeed... 2) seek and you will find...and last 3) R.T.F.M.! Coming from a technical background,you would think I would have number 3 first.
ha ha ha!!!!

Mark all my photos are under 1 mg so I haven't tried up to 2 mg yet.Think I'll stick to under 1mg.
