"File Type Not Permitted"

<p>Why am I repeatedly getting this message when I try to post a photo? Nothing has change on my end, PN problem?</p>

<p>Is the file extension ".jpg" or something else?</p>

<p>Or perhaps more importantly, are you CALLING the file a JPG, but accidentally have the file set to something other than 24-bit? It is possible to save, say, a 32-bit file as a JPG - but other systems (say, the upload routine here) will choke on them as being non-standard.</p>

<p>It is .jpg. Other people are having trouble posting like at the end of the Street Forum "square format" post. I recently switched to new Sandisk cards but I'm sure I've posted successfully since I started using them. I will check my PS setting but I save everything as a TIFF and use iPhoto to convert to jpeg. Maybe someone could post a photo here just to test the system.</p>

<p>Old 2010 photo for test</p>

<p>Well, it ain't me...even an old photo would not work.</p>

<p>Using Time Machine to to pull a photo from my desktop from many months ago that did post ok.</p>

<p>no good</p>

<p>I had Jin make a change to what files were allowed to be attached because I saw that someone had (by accident I believe) been able to attach an exe file to a forum post. That, of course, is a huge security risk and something we can't allow.</p>

<p>However, it seems that whatever Jin did caused other problems. I will have him look into it ASAP. Our apologies to everyone.</p>

<p>Testing attachments.</p>

<p>FYI, I just ran into the problem myself in this thread: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00ZQzO . Thanks for looking into it.</p>

<p>Should be fixed, sorry. I inadvertently made it impossible to upload photos. You could ONLY upload virus laden exes and what not.<br>

Programming is too hard.</p>

<p>Testing.</p><div></div>

<p>OK, looks like it's fixed.</p>

<p>Certainly passes MY test! Robert</p>

<p>Which is why, Jin, we all so very much appreciate your continuing work on the site. ;)</p>

<p>By the way, I was shocked, shocked by the test photo! How did that blue bunny guy get in there? I admit I didn't notice him the first few times I looked at the post.</p>
