I just submitted my photo for the challenge this week and when I go to MyHome it doesn't display. Anyone else have a similar problem? Should I pull it and resubmit? Any ideas?

Double-check and make sure the file size is under 150k. I submitted a photo about 20 minutes ago and it''s working fine. Also, make sure you''ve reloaded the page and your browser isn''t using the cached page.

Thanks for the response Paul. however, it is only 104K and I've tried refreshing a few times.

Does your My Home page say "Thank you for your submission."?

Are you behind a firewall? I can only submit if I turn my firewall off, and I know many others have had that problem, too. I just submitted (several times in fact, I just can't make up my mind), and it worked fine.

My submission problem is solved. I renamed the file and it worked. The original filename had an apostrophe in it, which must have presented a problem for the system. I had tried unsubmitting then resubmitting, but got the same result. It kept bothering me that both times I submitted the system accepted the photo as if all was normal, but it wouldn't display. I finally hit on the idea of the filename being problematic, which it must have been. Thanks everyone for your help and beware not to use an apostrophe in a filename.

I had a similar problem with my titles disappearing -- I just figured out it's because I was trying to start the title with quotation marks. For filenames especially, all systems/programs will be happier if you stick to the alpha-numerics, the hyphen, and the underscore as the only characters in your filenames (plus the ONE period setting off the filetype extension -- yes, even Mac users should do this).
