I am having problems adding a photo of my project. This is a quilt which I have designed myself - or rather, am in the process of designing as I go along.

Each time I attempt to add a photo, I get the following message:

"Error! Error (1): can not upload file"

I am clearly getting something wrong.

Also, am I allowed to add a photo of a pattern which is not in your database? Reading through your copyright rules, I feel sure that to do this I would probably be breeching copyright. Both patterns I am currently using are out of print.

(Hot Patterns HP1052 and Style 3965 from 1983).

As for the file, there are two possible reasons:

1) We've just updated some of the code which might cause a form in process to fail

2) The file might be too big or a wrong format. Would you mind e-mailing it to me at info@sewist.com?

As for the picture, basically, uploading a picture is a breech of copyright. However - I am now consulting re this - I get it that you may upload a photo of a printed book/magazine/booklet, because this is how you can swap or sell it and demonstrate the current condition of a book. So probably we shall enable adding pictures to your library of patterns (printed ones) and make them visible in the slideshow.

As for Hot Patterns, we have a permission from them to use photos, I'll just e-mail them and check if we can add the out-of-print patterns to the database as well.

I shall send the photo to you.

Best wishes,

Mandy.

Also, I discovered the photo limit is 2mb for the size. It's not listed anywhere but once I made sure my photos were under that size they started uploading just fine!
