0018.JPG is a duplicate image.
Please upload the image with a different name.

Sometimes it will accept an image with the same filename, usually appending a 1 or a 2 to the end of the filename (e.g. 0018.jpg will become 00181.jpg, if I upload 0018.jpg a third time, it will become 00182.jpg). Other times it will display the error message shown above. Why is it that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't? I'm using GD2, though the same thing happened with ImageMagick.
