Fustrated

I am very VERY upset. I spent 2 days working on this picture. It is a memorial for my grandfather, uncle, and cat that died. I wanted to get it up today (or at least submit it) because today is the aniversary of a death. But no. It just won't go through. I either get a "error connecting to database" or "page cannot be displayed". I would really like to know what is going on. Is it a problem with my computer or the site?
I don't know what to do but I am very upset. I spent 2 hours trying to submit the picture and it won't go through. please help.

never mind it eventually went through. But I need to say it took about 15 trys in all. Very fustrating but it's up now if you would like to see.

anyway I figured it out and it looks like what I needed to do was make the file into a TIF file. After that it got through after only 2 trys. But I had to resubmit it because the picture did not show up although the thumbnail did. Well, that's all.

To be honest I'm not quite sure...I scanned it into corel and it just didn't work. hm. All I know is that the TIF file format is best for my pics. When I scanned it into my computer with hp image viewer it worked. Shocked

Generally it's best to save scanned art to a JPG file before uploading it.
