Someone on this forum has already posted an attachment with the same filename thatyou tried to use. For example, if I tried to attach a photo "johnsmith.jpg" the chances are that someone would have already uploaded a picture with that name.

Hi Kaz8,
Today I typed for 20 minutes. Just before I pressed post I had the
brilliant idea (  ) of adding a Gif. file that I put on a post
yesterday. I too got a message saying that a file of that name already existed.
O.K. but Why Oh Why did RootsChat then make my 20 minutes of hard work
dissappear without trace. I have not retyped as it was totally spontaneous.
Also if I am typing a post and get a message that other replies have been
posted and I might wish to review, I ignore and press post when I have finished.
Otherwise my posting dissapears.
Also Spell checking can seize up my computer so I use that only on short pieces of typing.

Hi Kaz
I have posted quite a few images and find that the best system is to name the file filenamennn, where n is any number 001 to 999. It seems to work for me.

You could call your filenames tomkin001.jpg to tomkin999.jpg or tomki9001 or whatever. Just that appending a number works for me.

Also Tomkin, a possible solution to your lost messages problem, which you've mentioned on a number of occasions, is to type up the response in Notepad and when you're happy with it, paste it into the reply box and send. if you lose it to the ether, you still have the original in Notepad.
Saying this, I only use this method when doing lookups and having to switch between various Tabs, etc.

So Gadget,
Every n becomes a number of your choice.
Tha9k you, I7 all my 6umberi2g of my fili2g system I will
remember that,
Tomki4 
Sorry Kaz8 for me winding Gadget up. Her method though is very good.
The problem is, remembering whether or not you have posted something previously.
Like the notepad method I've got other things to do with my time.

Hi Gadget and Tomkin
I see you are both at it again
I have been busy trying to down load my family tree as I am off to Turkey for two Weeks and had a lot of new information to upload
Shopped at Morrisons last week Tomkin thought of you when I was going around with my barrow

I begin with my own unique ID code (in my case jdf) then the date (240905) and the time (0630) so this one would be jdf2409050630, a long number admittedly but one that is similar to the method I use to catalogue all my photo's, which is easy with a digital camera because the camera can be set to do it for you. However for rootschat or a purpose where I am unlikely to be archiving and I am in a hurry - I just go mad on the keybourd and do something like qwetilvj.
