The other thread regarding linking to an existing picture leads me to another problem that I see regularly. I know many members have seen an error like this: "
Sorry! There is already an attachment with the same filename as the one you tried to upload. Please rename the file and try again." This error is occurs because I have set the server to only allow unique image names so each image exists only once (in theory). What this means is that if your camera, like mine, names pictures like "DSC1001.jpg" then anyone else with the same camera also has theirs named exactly the same. If you try to upload the picture after someone else uploaded one by the same name OR you try to upload the same picture twice you'll get this error. One way to avoid this is to rename all of your pictures with a unique identifier so these duplicates are avoided. I will usually use my initials so my pictures are named something like "tp_DSC1001.jpg". You must rename the picture on your computer before you try to upload it! On Windows you can right click the file and choose "Rename" from the list or you can
slowly click it twice - once to select it and another to edit. Be sure to click within the name to "unselect" all the text before you start typing unless you plan on typing the entire name all over again. If you're uploading the same one twice (bad idea) then read my other thread here:
