Photos?

[rumplecat]

I am the only one having trouble uploading photos today? Gave up after 15 min.!

I had a hard time to. But I thought it was just me.

Me too... I had to upload one at a time. Also, most of my pictures that were bigger than 2.5 megs would not upload. I had to resize them on my computer and then continue uploading one at a time. It seemed like the upload would just time-out and quit.

Strange, but just now I uploaded two pictures without using a browser. straight off IE8. never been possible before. Well only if each individual picture was uploaded in turn and after re-loading the page each picture. And it was easy and a pleasure to use. Just wish it was like that all the time.
Uploading through firefox to the site works fine.

Took 22 sec, that was uploaded via browse on computer.

Mine isn't uploading pictures. It goes through the whole process but then there is nothing afterwards.

These uploaded pretty quick for me.

If you're having trouble uploading pictures I've had a few people mention this, but I need a lot more info.

1. What OS?
2. What browser?
3. What size are the images?
4. What is your internet connection speed? (Upload specifically)

I've not be able to duplicate any issues on my end between Win 8.1, Win 7, and a Mac. Using FF as the browser. All latest and greatest releases. Also works from Cable internet, DSL, and DS3 connections, and cellular.

IE8 ended official support in the middle of 2009. But it, and pretty much everything else, ends completely in 2 weeks.

You should consider upgrading your browser.

It does. Unfortunately it's not a clean hand off. If your internet connection is too slow, you'll end up hitting the PHP timeout limit and nothing completes. I use power tools image resizer on my windows machines. Anything larger just get sized down by the site. And if you're paying per data useage, you're just spending needless money. (And it's faster on the upload) I tend to make a resized folder of images I wish to upload. That way I have the originals if I ever wanted them.

patracy - Thank you for the quick response.

In reference to your questions, I'm using the following:

1. Windows 8.1
2. Internet Explorer 11 (Version 11.0.960.18125)
3. Issues were noted when image sizes got larger than 2.25 MB
4. Internet connection (DSL) upload speed just tested at 0.53 Mbps


Today was the first time I've ever had issues with picture uploads. In the past, I have left my computer alone for several minutes while uploading multiple pictures. Today, it seemed like I hit the timeout limit in approximately one minute or less.

Can you try with FF? Seems like a lot of you having issues are using IE?

 

[Al Harvey]

Patracy, any ideas why it just won't load for a new post but will for a reply?

I've never used Firefox. If the issue persists, I'll look into it.

I've started threads with pictures in them first post. I'll make a thread now to confirm.

There's the new thread. I uploaded that with the new started thread. Instead of a quick reply. And I used the manage attachments instead of using the picture icon above the quick reply window.

Well it just started working again. Guess it was just one of those fluke things that happen. Thank you for your time you spend keeping this site going.

Can we upload .xlsx files??

 

[rumplecat]

I can upload again as long as i move one photo at a time.

Only xls for now. There's still a great number of people out there without later copies of office. Please just save as xls.

Please see post #8.
