Title: adding a photo going wrong
Post by: matilda1973 on Tuesday 17 April 12 14:34 BST (UK)

 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.

You have to make sure each time that you post you give it a different, unique name. Try adding numbers after the name of the photo eg something like grandadmat2 

Have a look at this, it might help

I always add -KG to all my photos/snippets.
That makes them unique to me!

I think (but not sure) that RC software doesn't like the same named attachment even if it's from someone else.
Could be just on the thread? ::)
