Reply to all,

All I have is the password for the admin account, my brother in law
tried to get the FTP password, whatever that is, but we were told that
we were not allowed to have it.

The problem must be with my PC as it works with all others, but it is a
bit of a bind having to go across the road to upload them all, that and
the fact that it's really annoying that I can't work it out.

The problem exists from my PC with all pictures whether they have been
taken myself or imported. I tried taking a picture from the Devon 4x4
site and tried it from in laws lap top, no problem, tried same pic from
my PC but no go.

I have tried various pics but if you think you can work it out from a
pic I can email you then that would be great. Let me know which one!

I think i know what you mean now, you go onto an admin page, and then
kind of select "browse" like you would if you were adding a photo to an
email and then (try to) upload it that way.

Content Management System - you can use cut 'n paste, & wysiwyg stuff,
intended for amateurs to use with ease. Generally means we professionals
spit the dummy with it 'cos it's so limited & awkward

Hi Ian,

Are you still up for having a look at these pics and trying to work out
what the hell is wrong with them?

Can do, email some to me and I'll have a crack. The email addy in
this post works fine.
