+<h3>White screen when uploading images</h3>
+<p>
+Tidypics tries to calculate the maximum size of an image that your server will support. If it
+guesses incorrectly and someone uploads a photo that is too large, the script may crash when
+resizing the image if you are using GD. The easiest way to test this is to set display_errors
+to 1 in your .htaccess file and upload large images. If this causes a problem, a php memory error
+should display on the screen. You can increased your php memory limit (see the docs directory).
+A better option is to use ImageMagick if your server supports it (again see the docs directory).
+</p><p>
+If it is not a memory issue, you should see some other error appear. Once you have fixed the error,
+change display_error back to 0.
+</p>
+<h3>Question mark images appear</h3>
+<p>
+If you see question mark images when you look at your albums, this means the resizing of the images
+failed. This could be due to the memory limits as described above. There are other causes. Tidypics
+tries to detect these problems and write the cause to the error log. You should check your server
+error log right after an upload that results in a question mark for these error messages. The messages
+will begin with "Tidypics warning:". It is possible if you have turned off php warnings that you will
+not see these warnings.
+</p><p>
+Another possible cause is using ImageMagick when your server does not support it or specifying
+the wrong path to the ImageMagick executables.
