I just figured out a problem I was having when applying for a badge. I was trying to add a photo of my half apron for that badge and it kepting giving me an error message. This happened about 10 times before I decided to try a different badge application with a photo, and that one worked!! So, I started checking all the details out and realized that the photo upload was not going through because I had named my photo "Ashley's half apron" and the glitch was the apostrophe in the "Ashley's" part.

So.....when you save and name your photos, be careful not to add punctuation into your photo names!!!

Oh. That explains a lot. I was wondering why you kept resubmitting that one.
Actually, I got all of them (I'll spare you, and not let everyone else know how many times) ;)
So, that's good to know. It gives you an error, but uploads anyway.
We'll either fix it so apostrophes are fine, or we'll post a notice on the submission form to that effect.

Now then, this is hopefully fixed.
You should be able to enter all the apostrophes you want in your photo's name.

Thanks, Gabe!

I am embarrassed to think about your end on that...I was near tears wondering what in the world was going on! Thanks for your patience :)

I just applied for my first merit badge and my son helped me add a photo. When it was printed today the photo was not there!! I did not name my photo so that is not the problem. Any other ideas of why it may not have shown up? I am really bummed because my quilt turned out great and I wanted you all to see! :)

Hi Sallie,

Sorry about that, think I messed something up in the code. Y'all can check out Sallie's beautiful quilt here:
