ok i have come across something that has frustrated me now and its this

when on uploading a picture you are given this rules section
Quote:


Entry Rules and Guidelines

* JPEG and GIF image file formats only
* JPEG: Less than 600px wide by 800px high
* GIF: Less than 550px wide by 450px high
* At least 500px wide by 350px high
* Under 125 KB in file size
* RGB or Greyscale mode
* Appropriate for all ages
* Free of copyright violations


ok not to bad but wait

when uploading something that fits those dimensions (IE i tried uploading a picture 600 * 800 )

you get this

Quote:

Error
The image must be no more than 800 pixels wide x 600 pixels high
and no less than 500 wide x 350 high and
in JPEG or GIF format and under 125KB (128000 raw bytes) in file size.

Please go back and try again.


now does anyone else see the difference in sizes that causes my entries to fail???????

without straining myself to comprehend all that, It looks like your first faq is a typo. I think its supposed to be 800 wide by 600, like your second list of contrainsts show. If your image is 600 wide and 800 high, I dont think it will work.


errr...not to mention the discrepancies with the "smallest" size allowed.

Confused

i know but this isnt from the faq this is from when you tryi to post your image

the first set is next to the upload box and if you go by those then it brings up the second set

something not right i think with the first set of rules

well, wherever it came from, I agree...the first set is wrong.
I think it should read 800wide by 600 high.

and I think you said your image is 600 wide by 800 high which would be too wide.

We'll need a mod of JMH to confirm one or the other.

i changed my picture to 800*600 and it uploaded fine therefore the first SET that you get when you try to upload a file MUST be wrong

...aside from bugs. I am pretty sure my note said that.

I am working on a few new things rather than adjust the latest round of upgrades. Smile
