I have a problem
I have a group of photo's which I have not posted befor to Rootschat.
when I attempt to post I invariably get "Error there is already a post with the same filename please rename and repost"
When I rename I get the same error message on the repost
What am i doing wrong

lots of times I just add a few numbers to the end and that does the trick

The system which is used on the Rootschat servers requires that every file loaded has a unique name and given the number of posts made to Rootschat the most often used file names were used up pretty quickly.

A combination of your user name plus numbers usually works out e.g. falk99.jpg or alftabor101.jpg
