        Hi. I’m having trouble uploading jpgs. They are within the size range. The regular uploader, the little mountain icon, doesn’t recognize any of my pics, they are greyed out. I can put them in the attachment manager but get no preview in the post. I’m new to Mojave but I tried on the apple discussion site and my pics are available to upload there. Any ideas? I just want to pick them off the desktop. Used to work with my ancient system. Boo! Thanks! Libbey

            One thought: When you open the uploader box and browse for your photos, make sure you select “All files”.

                Hi Jon, I don’t see any place to select ‘all files’. However, I have just found ‘media’ ‘photos’ which takes me to iPhoto albums etc and I can access the jpgs there. So, maybe that’s what I have to do. Two steps backward, but hey, it works. Thank you!

                        Thanks, JMW! That’s where I started. Anyway, I’ll try again tomorrow, and read a bit more. Have a good evening.

                                The uploader box historically defaults to GIF files, you have to select the All files option to see your jpg files.

                                            Sorry, missed yesterday. Thanks Yorky and everybody. I don’t have anything but ‘cancel’ and ‘choose’ in the lower right corner of the equivalent ( I think) page. But here’s the curious thing- the file I uploaded and the other I chose but didn’t upload to the Mac Discussions forum are now available to upload here- just in the wetcanvas browser upload window and from the desktop. I think I mentioned that I have a new operating system- Mojave updated this week which is very likely the source of the problem?! So, in the meantime, I can use the photos in ‘photos’ and I’ll go back to Mac Discussions to ask again and then get back to you! Have a great day (whenever you are reading this :) Libbey
