Posting Attachments on RootsChat? - Completed Thanks
« on: Friday 17 July 09 13:05 UTC (UK) »
I'm trying to attach these 2 photographs in a posting in the Photographs Topic;

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\No.1.jpg

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\No.2.jpg

However, I keep getting the following error message;

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry! There is already an attachment with the same filename as the one you tried to upload. Please rename the file and try again.

Haven't the attachments already got different file names i.e. No. 1 and No.2? I've posted attachments before, but then again, I'm not the most smartest person when it comes to computers.

Les,

It means that someone else has already posted photos with these names.  May I suggest that you make them unique to you e.g. Les_de_B_No1.jpg and Les_de_B_No2.jpg.  That should work.

Thanks Nell

That seemed to be the problem as I did what you suggested (gave them a unique filename), and they got through okay.
