My previous message about me be unable to upload a small batch of photo images, while valid is misleading.
I found that 1 image within the batch of 4 had a .bmp suffix whereas the other 3 had .jpg suffix. Converting the .bmp image to a .jpg format fixed my problem.? I guess it would be useful to know what are the acceptable image suffixes and it it would be useful if a fault message identified the problem on screen, rather than just show a blank page.
Magnus --?The problem with bitmaps is that only about half of readily available browsers will render them, thus leaving blanks in the slide show display and thumbnails. I'm also unsure that the automated photo resizing used by groups.io is capable of handling other formats, assuming you have that turned on in settings.
Subscribers should really be encouraged to upload their photos in standard, web-friendly formats (e.g.: JPEG, GIF and PNG). Glad you were able to figure this out, and thanks for coming back to close the loop.
