Does anyone have a solution to this problem ? I notice Sheba had this problem also. I've sent a message to Cindy as the problem is probably in the Website.

I had the same problem too. Had to reduce the size of the photo to make the site accept it.

 Thanks Dave. I'll play around with it for the moment while I wait for Cindy to respond to my message. I also note Sheba had this problem also...

Do not know that man, Ken

As a matter of interest
I have just posted a picture on another page

Using the PAINT program of Windows 10
The picture at 500 pixels horizontal did not take, but at 250 pixels horizontal it came up, perhaps it is a size related problem

I am still playing this game, but as I say, they are very easy, if you recognise them.

 Thanks for the information Tony. You noticed when I tried to upload the photo, only the file name came up. The photo was of Keith Payne, which I tried to upload again and it worked. I do understand photo size can be a problem, but I don't think that is the problem here Also maybe the Web Hosts have resolved a problem, but Cindy hasn't responded to my last message yet.
