Help? Thumbnail works in my gallery but...

If there is another topic similar to this, I'm sorry for posting a new one.

When I looked at my own gallery to see if my picture had been uploaded I found the thumbnail. It worked, but when I clicked on it to see if there were any other possible errors, I found the entire picture to be nothing but a massive black square.

I'm computer illiterate so if it is something I did, please tell me how to fix it?

Huh. Try right-click, show picture.
Also, try refreshing... it depends on what the file is sometimes, and I know some weird files sometimes need time to load slowly, and beforehand, they will be black. [Some computer style files, I think...]

Dunno. I'ma kinda computer illiterate too. Surprised

Thank you for replying, I'll see if that works.

edit: Alas, neither worked. Now I can assume it is something I did. Thank you for trying to help though.

Sorry... :[ Hope someone else knows what to do... wait and see, there should be more replies. ...Hopefully. ^_^;
What file is the picture in though? Though FAC supports all sorts of other formats now, I think getting a pic in one of the basic formats [jpeg, bmp, etc] might help.
Sorri.

I've seen pictures saved in the .png file formats do that. Is your pic a .png?

EDIT: AHA, it is, just as I thought. =P Try uploading it as a different filetype, like .jpg.

Alright! Thank you! I shall try that indeed!

EDIT: I've changed what I save it under, and yet nothing happens. I think it may indeed be something that I myself have done.

Surprisingly enought Three Days Grace 'Animal I Have Become' is fitting my predicament very nicely.

Thank you for trying. It's definetly something I've done.

Internet explorer doesn't correctly support PNG files causing this problem.

Download filefox (See link at the bottom of the site)

Alright, I will give it a shot. Thanks.

EDIT: You were right. It worked, I can see it now! Thank you all for helping me, I'm sorry for being so incredibly stupid.

Its Microsoft's fault, not yours.

Since lots of people still use IE, you should probebly save your image in another format (like jpeg) resubmit the new file using the edit feature.
