I am hoping someone can please help me, I am so frustrated! This is my first month doing the challenges and I am having the most awful time getting photos uploaded.

1. I keep getting the "Exceed file size limit" error message. I have been able to upload some LOs after trying at least half a dozen times. My file size is 380 x 380, 72 pixels/inch, 423k, Baseline Standard, Quality 5 Medium. I have reduced them to as low as 216 x 216, 72 pixels/inch, 136k (so small you can barely even see the LO) and it still says I have exceeded the limit.

2. Sometimes I get the message to say that a photo was successfully uploaded but I don't get the next step where you have to validate. Even though it says the upload was successful, it isn't in the gallery.

3. When I click on "My Photos" today there is only one photo in there, but I have uploaded 5 for this month's challenges. They were all there yesterday. When I click on the links I saved in the Cookie Jar where we keep track of our LOs, the LOs are there. Except for one, which I had to upload again today even though I didn't delete it.

Fingers crossed someone can help me before I lose my mind! :(
 
I’m happy to help you with that!
First if all, can you please email me the LO you are having trouble with so I can take a look. My email is [email protected]

You currently have 7 LOs uploaded in the gallery.

I’m currently on my phone, away from my computer at the moment, so I can’t post a screen shot. But I can show you tomorrow.
It sounds like you have your view setting for the gallery set to only show what you have loaded today or within the last 24 hours etc.
 
Thank you, I can see all of my photos now. I still can't upload my latest layout so I have emailed it to you. :)
