When TUSCL lost all of our photos a short time ago one of my photos was a bitmap image. I used a scanner to get in onto my computer. Now I try to upload it again to "my photos", it tells me invalid photo. Anybody else experience this and know of a fix? Can Founder do a quick fix?

open it in mspaint, then save as and pick jpg from the type?
Dolfan - Thanks. That worked.
Had a jpg as photo. had to re-upload it today.
There is a file size limit for an uploaded image.
Carter looks like a keeper :)
mjx01 - She was until disappeared back in 2003. Unfortunately I heard last year that she later developed cervical cancer.
shadow - that sucks (on both counts)... sorry to hear that
I heard about some web site that keeps a log of all Internet sites and pages. Maybe they were associated with the NSA. I guess you could always ask them if you could get a copy of your pc back. I'm not sure what the site might have been. Maybe it's on your home pc somewhere.
a copy of your pic not pc
Tried several times over the last month to add a .jpg for a profile pic with the same "Invalid Photo" error. Can't find anywhere here that stipulates size or ratio requirements. (Mine is 16:9 and 1.7Mb) Anyone know the specific reqs?
1.7 is WAY past the limit as I recall.
I do not know the actual limit spec... All I know is I tried uploading a large file, got a nondescript error, reduced the file size and then it worked. I think I got the error with a 1.4 Mb file. Try something under 1.0 Mb.
Thanks mjx01 and Dolfan. Little trip to MSPaint fixed the size issue without reducing the quality.
Same issue here. Had uploaded pictures in the past as jpg's and they were under "My Photos". Now, they are gone although the last one I set as Primary still shows up with my handle.
