I scanned another pic on .jpg format and tried to upload. It could not do
so inspite of all the indicated signals that it was doing so. The file is
46.5KB in size and the indicated upload rate is 3.46KB/sec. Nothing
appeared in the website inspite of a long wait. With my previous compressed
.bmp files, the upload took a few seconds and the thumbnail will appear.
I will appreciate any advise from people who HAVE UPLOADED SUCCESSFULLY to
this site with a .jpg file.
I am beginning to suspect that only people with a MS Internet Explorer
WEBbrowser can assess this site effectively.
Interesting.......
