When I tried to "add attatchment" for virtual cookie exchange, message came up:
"This file cannot be accepted. The allowed file types for upload are images"

I have added photos before successfully. It was a JPG sized to 4x3". I am on a MAC.
Thanks

Palma,
I don't know how to help you - sorry! - but am sending an alert on your post so Marta and Pauline see it as soon as possible.

[edited to add: Just in case it helps, HERE is the message board help page on attaching photos.]

I don't use a MAC but I think they do something different with filenames than a PC. The file has to have the .JPG extension. Does it have that? If not, can you set the extension?

If you can't do it, email the image to me (email link at bottom), and include the link to the thread where you want it posted and I will do it.

Hi Palma,

The photo has to have a name that the board can detect as a jpg. The board software doesn't actually look at the file but the name. It expects the name to be in the PC format for a jpg. This would be something like shortbread.jpg instead of just shortbread.

I'm not very fluent with the MAC but I think you can change the name to be in the PC form. Then click Add Attachment and browse to the file with the name shortbread.jpg.

Hi Pauline.
