Twice I have attempted to show results of a shoot I took with my new K50. I linked 4 images from my flickr set of the Edinburgh Tattoo did a preview and all was fine but as soon as I added comment I got this system message

I can't speak for the message you received about spam but the record shows you deleted your images yourself two minutes after posting them, I'd definitely follow the 'report problem' link at the very bottom of this page.

Thanks Ken, no I did not delete them. I have send a message to support just waiting for the reply. I did upload one image and it was allowed.

Thanks for the reply

Perhaps it should have been Gareth. Still I managed to get three images on the K-50 thread

I've had a look at your account and there's no obvious reason why you can't post images.

Have you tried again?

If there's still a problem perhaps double check you weren't trying to upload full sized images. In the forum 800 pixels on the longest side is the preferred maximum. In the Gallery then up to 2000 pixels should be OK, but I actually use 1000 pixels. That's the same as EPZ, so it's convenient and the quality at that level is fine.
Best regards, John

Hi John, thanks for checking, I did try again but this time only posted one link into the message instead of 3 it worked see Using K-50

Perhaps the size may have been the problem on the f1rst attempt, but on second attempt I had select the 800 option in Flickr to create the required link.

BTW it way your review of the K-50 that decided me to go for that camera
