The images I post are pictures I take while playing Sims FreePlay using the in game camera option. My device is an Asus Transformer Pad with Android 4.2
[Edit] But when I transfer the images to my PC I am able to post them on the forum.
It is really weird, I have a Transformer TF300T and used the gallery to do exactly the same (From The Sims Photos) and get no complaints. I also tried using ES File Explorer and a few others, I can't get it to fail. If you do have the Asus File Manager, can you try with that? (I removed it from my tablet, I like ES better).
The board does recognise: gif, jpeg, jpg, png, tga, tiff and tiff as extensions.
I also tried on my Nexus 7, no problems there either.
Is there any chance that your Gallery might be trying to upload filename.jpg.thumb?
Other than that, I'm really at a loss why it fails from your tablet, but works with the same image from PC.
Oh, by the way, this has nothing to do with the avatar issue, that was a bug in the avatar resizer.
That is weird because I have the exact same tablet, Transformer TF300T, I will try it with the file manger instead and let you know how it goes. You've also given me the incentive to use ES File Explorer on my tablet. I've always preferred it as a file manager and use it on my phone.
Many, many thanks for looking into this for me. You are the best!

Perturbee, just wanted to let you know I tried but still unable to upload images from my tablet to the forum. With the Asus File Manager, I get the same message that I mentioned above. When I used ES File Explorer, I get the message "The Uploaded File is Empty." I know there is nothing you can do because you've been unable to repeat the problem but I wanted to let you know what happened.
Thanks again for trying.

One more thing to try
Open ES, go to your Pictures/Sims Photos folder and change the view to see the actual file size. If the size is anything but 0, copy one of them over to another location, for example to Downloads. Maybe uploading from there works.

The attachment ES_Settings.jpg is no longer available
WOW! Perturbee you are the best! It worked!
[Edit] Thank you! (In my rush to prepare for the update, I forgot my manners. )
