I cannot seem to get a picture to load for my classified ads. It says there is an error. Does anyone know how to get it to upload?

Drew,
What is the EXACT error message? There should be some further verbage. It is more than likely telling you that the image is larger than allowed. With today's digital cameras, the image sizes are huge. There are two ways to fix this: 1.) Set your digital camera to take smaller images. This is what I do when I am shooting images for an AM ad. Go the smallest size possible. That is all that is needed for an ad anyway. 2.) If you have an image that is already taken and is too large you can use photo editing software to reduce its size. I use Picture Publisher which allows me to scale the image way down.
I believe that the limit is .5 MB per image (500,000KB). Also, unless the rules have changed the image needs to be in .jpg (JPEG) format.
I would bet that if you shoot smaller images they will upload.
