Adam, title and message box do not coincide. In the title you mention July (I assume correct) while in the message box you mention June (I'm assuming dupe-up mistake)

NaCl(July is correct no? )H2O

This is indeed the July theme; thanks for pointing out the typo!

Just a quick note to all contestants. If you chose to post your image as a JPG attachment using the forum attachment system, please remember that JPGs should not exceed 900x600 pixels nor 700KB in filesize. Images exceeding the max height and width are resized by the forum software and can experience undesired compression artifacts.

NOTE: These limits do not apply to images hosted on other websites which you link to to submit!

700mb?

feralryan · 07-04-2010, 08:27 PM

700mb is a really stingy limit.

MRRiley · 07-05-2010, 05:26 AM

700KB

Seaain, Your photo is fine!

The 900x600 and 700kb limits only apply to photos entered using the Pentax Forum attachment system. Since you linked to a photo on another photo site, you do not face those limits.

No idea why you'd get a blank when you try to edit your post. I can see it fine so imagine you were probably having some kind of comms issue.

You have to hit the "Go to last post" icon in the "Last Post" column on the right of the page.
