Hi, I'm having trouble to participate to POTD, I already participated one time, this time 'm getting an error about size, but my image respects the size requirements in fact I've been able to upload it in my portfolio, I tried to submit via link first, then I tried to reupload, to be sure I also tried reducing the image to 1000 px wide (the one i uploaded in portfolio was 2000 px wide) but I got the same error.

I read that there's a limit of 200 submissions, I counted the pics in the contest right now and they are 106...

maybe 1000 n 2000 are too large.

if the pic is 800x4something it should take it. unless the system is getting screwie as it does now n again.

hey speaking of contests, you know there are contests in the forums? go to forums n scroll down to "contests " there n see what you may like to enter?

read the rules on the first page of each contest. its fun n easy.

2 things that might help; I submit my photos 600x900 pixels, and in RGB color mode. Never got rejected.

that works for your port uploads but contest uploader may not adjust the size.

try using 800 on the long side of your pic?
