If you upload a wall you have to wait until it approved by a moderater or admin.

KiddKohiba....be sure not to use odd characters in the file names.....just alpha-numeric only....that is generally the problem....people using punctuation, asterisks, etc....

I've never had that problem before. Maybe you should try uploading your preview as a different file name. Try including preview in the name for the preview image. Just a suggestion.

Maybe you're timing out due to the 2.25 meg zip file.  Try zipping up a jpg, saved at the lowest compression setting, and perhaps increasing the compression on the zip file.

I have the same problem as you KiddKohiba. I have given up trying to upload a screenshot of some skins i am working on, i always get the same error message, 'You have tried to upload an invalid file format!' But there is NOTHING wrong with the format/size of the file/no unusual characters/no spaces/no gremlins/no illegal aliens etc.
I hope you resolve this situation as it will also help me!
By the way..........I also uploaded this file FIRST TIME on SKINBASE org!
