Still can't upload pictures from my IPad.

[Greg Webb]

Although my avatar loaded easily from my iPad photo album, when I try to attach a photo to a post I get this message......

"Sorry! There is already an attachment with the same filename as the one you tried to upload. Please rename the file and try again."

What does this mean as I can't see how to re-name the file and there are no other attachments to the post? Help please.

It means someone in the past has uploaded a photo with the same name you have given yours. If you right click the photo you get the option to rename it, just add today's date to the file name for example.

Thanks Stan. My problem is that I am trying to upload pictures directly from my IPad which do not have file names and therefore cannot change or give them a name. I'm confused

Far as I know you can't change the file name so can't post it here but there is an app you can download which will allow you to change the file name.
See this thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=651107.msg4976196#msg4976196

Thanks Sinann. I will take a look but it seems a bit of a faff just to upload a picture that most message boards and forums will allow from iPads. Perhaps admin will sort this out because I would imagine the same difficulty exists with iPhones and other tablets.
