Unable to upload photo

Hi Adam, trying to upload a photo for the Flowing Water monthly contest and it won't upload. Uploading as an attachment from my computer. Using Safari. Deleted cookies, tried going thru the link posted when you log onto the monthly contest site and also through the thread describing next months contest. The upload screen is showing, my link is showing, but after about 20 seconds my upload link just disappears. Glitch, just me, anyone else having this problem?

Well, I finally got it to upload by reducing the size from 1200 x 793 px. to 1000 x 662. I didn't realize that 1200 was too wide. Never had this problem before but these old bones learn something new everyday.

I'll check our logs, but normally scaling shouldn't be a problem. Our new server does have a fairly conservative firewall, however, and it's possible that the original version of the file had some weird headers that triggered it.

Thanks Adam. I have never had a problem before but things seem to be running a lot slower for me to so it may be something on my end.
