Error: Invalid Image Format <file name>

I was able to successfully upload pictures to ViewBug this morning on my Desktop and all of a sudden when uploading the second batch I got the above error, tried doing so on a different device (Notebook) running the same configuration and got the same error (so not a device problem).

Am I alone on this?

    Dear All, thanks for the help, the problem was on ViewBugs side and seems to be fixed, that which before was reporting a error has now uploaded without an issue.

    Right as stated in the error message <File Name>. An illegal character of some type and or no/wrong file extension.

    It only takes one image to have one illegal character in it's name (Might only be a space at the end of the name before the period ​.​) to shut the upload down.

    This is a question for whatever service you are using.

    Is this a Lightroom question?

    What is the full path, file name and extension of one of the files you are trying to upload?

    How are you uploading?
