Upload Preview Image Fail

Does the format make a difference?

Sunday, August 21, 2011 by AceMatrix | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I just recently uploaded a new Icon collection but the preview image is not displaying. Never had this problem before. Does the image format ( .jpeg , .PNG etc.) make a difference? I like .jpeg simply because the file size lets me include more images in the preview. I'm scratching my head on this. I hate not knowing the things that I should know. Any comments/answers out there folks ? Thanks  ---  Ace ---

Names of preview files and names of skin files .... eg. preview.jpg and skin.zip  MUST NOT be anything other than alpha-numeric.

I expect you have an '&' in the filename of the preview.

That will be why the upload/display fails....
