Hmm.. does not work. I followed instructions explicitly. Any thoughts? Not much on-line reference to this issue, except the clear how-to. Thank you.

Hi,
got a problem while trying to upload a banner logo. Everytime i try it, I get the message: “Bonk, Something funky happened. Please bear with us while we iron out the kinks.”

I thought that maybe the folder didn’t allowed the script to upload images to it, but that’s not it. I’m using Version 2.0.17.8
