Frequently Asked Question #398. Why can’t I upload an image to Scrapbook?
Problems with uploading new images to your Scrapbook can happen for various reasons.
First, make sure the image that you try to upload is under the file size limit, and is one of the supported file types (you can learn more about these limitations here). Also check whether the browser you are using is officially supported by LiveJournal and there are no add-ons or other applications running that are blocking the upload.
