I have upload problems

Recently, every time I try to post a screenshot it won't load properly (see below).

Several people have complained that textures I have posted are corrupted or do not work. And these are textures which have been posted before without any problem (my own and Janetgalle's).

I have scanned my whole machine for viruses and it comes up clean.

Any ideas about what could be wrong?

Try saving the screenshot a different format, perhaps PNG. Other than that, I have no ideas.

You might have a computer that makes lag everyonceinawhile. It might besomething about your computer that thinks the JPEG/JPG Pixels are other colors cuz' your computer lags when reading the pic.

Thanks for your suggestions - Popo and Loirae are helping me to look into this problem.

It may be something to do with having installed Internet Explorer 7. Things have been a bit glitchy since then.

You're using IE? In the future, you may want to switch to Firefox. IE tends to have annoying image problems like these.

Thanks Theo - I have just spent some time changing over to Firefox. I have tried uploading a screen shot and the same problem happens.

We have now decided it may be a router or modem problem. We're looking into this now.

Trial screen shot again, using Firefox.

Try using a different file type.

Hmm. Let's see if this is not just for you.
[EDIT]Err.

Dlcs18 and Toon Dog, thanks for trying, but I've already checked out that my art program and my saves are OK - Loirae checked this by me sending her the screen shot by email. It's fine.

It just seems to be a problem uploading images to websites.

Still working on it though ...
