For years, I've been taking pictures with my Nikon D80 which produces images in .jpg and have been posting them to this site without a problem. As of this AM when I try to upload a picture it is refused with the notation, "This is not a valid image file." The picture I am attempting to post is of the appropriate size and all those I have uploaded in the past remain embedded in my file and can still be attached to a post, What is preventing me from now uploading a .jpg file?
test, maybe you are uploading RAW files? you may have enabled it to fire both formats?
Are you using a Mac and are they getting converted to .HEIC format by any chance when importing into Photos? IOS devices started taking picture in that format recently and I haven't checked to see if other imported camera files aren't converted to .HEIC when importing into Photos.
I ran into this last week. Pictures using my iPhone were in .HEIC format in Photos and couldn't be uploaded directly to this site. I had to resave them as .jpg first.

I don't think photos are converted to HEIC in Photos on a Mac. In fact, iOS devices don't convert to HEIC if a JPG is imposed to the phone. It will still be JPG in that case. The default format for new photos taken with the phone is HEIC, unless you change the preferences in the Settings for the Camera under Formats.
Oddly enough, I just tried to upload a screen cap to this thread, and I get the same error. Tried several times with several pictures, some of which I have uploaded here before. Same error. Looks like something has gotten messed up in the forum software.
Baudette: "Maybe you are uploading RAW files? you may have enabled it to fire both formats?" Thanks for trying to help, but I don't know enough to understand what you are saying. I've changed nothing on my end and can post on other forums.
Northern; Using the same PC I have used for years. Not a Mac in the house.
Arne: Encouraged that you've encountered a similar problem. I will await developments.

I have uploaded any image
Happens to all images from any device? the raw setting is a camera setting. It makes you some heavier "photos" but with more data. In my case, in my nikon I have the option to take the photo in both formats at the same time. Raw files are not valid in this forum and screenshots in PNG format are not valid either!
I don't think it helps you much! Salds

We should be doing some maintenance tomorrow to get it changed back.
In the mean time I've have had luck using the " save for web " function in photoshop but hopefully we should have it resolved sooner than later.
Having problems today.
