Forum:Uploading an image

Ok, I'm having an issue when it comes to uploading images. Whenever I attempt to upload one of my JPEG pictures, Wikia won't accept them. Instead it gives me a message saying: Upload warning The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again.

I don't get what the problem is? I know it not my computer because I tried uploading an image on my laptop and it still didn't work. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Unknown12345 16:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * What is the name of the image you are uploading? What is the name you are trying to upload it as? Dantman (Talk) 17:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The problem may be that the file is not a JPEG file. It could be a PNG or GIF file with JPG extension. On Windows systems is common that the programs determine the file format of the images reading the content rather than the file extension, without giving any warning if the file type does not match the extension. Try changing the extension of the image or open it with IrfanView which warns the user when the file format does not match the extension and prompts you to rename it automatically --Ciencia Al Poder ¿Algo que decir? 17:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
