Hi,
I know this has been the subject of many threads and I looked through some but I still can't figure it out. I get this error when I try to upload a picture for my avatar.

There was an error with your upload: Your file is not a supported type. Please upload .gif or .jpg images only.

I right click on the picture, properties, and it says JPEG, the size is 6.68 KB. I used microsoft office to open the picture but do not see an option to save as jpg.

Anyone have some help for me?

Thanks

Possible fix, find the file and rename the file extension from JPEG to jpg. NYC_SKP Feb 2013 #1

You could try uploading the image to imgur or photobucket or some other image host... Make7 Feb 2013 #2
