Why can't I upload a page?

[JadeDrawerOnyx]

My page is small enough and its .png but every time I try to upload a page after clicking 'submit' it takes a long time to load and then it just refreshes the page. It's my 1st time uploading a page so I'm really confused as to what to do.

Does the page show any error message at all?

Should be less than 500kb.
Try uploading using a different browser.

Png usually generates large filesizes, try JPG 90% quality.

No, it's the other way around, JPGs have large filesizes and PNG is smaller...Are you sure it's bellow 500kb. Sometimes if it's very close it won't upload.

It depends on the contents of the image. PNG is smaller for images with lots of solid-coloured areas, while JPG makes smaller files for noisier/more textured images.

I have a problem uploading pages, too. I just started today, so I apologize for my newbiness. Please tell me if I am doing something wrong!

Okay, I try to upload the page and it says that it's not a .jpg or .png or.gif

I checked and my page IS a .jpg. It's file size is 2.61 mb and its dimensions are 1500x1975. Is this too big? Why does my page refuse to be uploaded?

It's too big. If your comic has a free account, your page has to be under 500KB (the pixel dimensions don't matter). Sometimes it does give the file format error even when it's the size that's the problem.

Alternatively, you can use image hosting sites such as Imgur, PhotoBucket and ImageShack.
On a side note, having a webcomic as big as 1500x1975 would most often turn down possible fans.

Okay, thanks.

I have on DA, but it says the URL is invalid. But I will try resizing it. Thanks!

Make sure you're using the IMAGE URL, not the page it's on.

Resizing is definitely a good idea. Horizontal scrolling for webcomics is a huge no-no.
