Uploading Images - or not! - Page 2

I'm not sure whether we have a new file size limit, we will hope to clarify this in due course. The old limit used to be 500kb, but we still asked members to try to get them nearer to 250. You should still aim for under 500 and that should be fine.

poor us photos ready and knowhere to go

Yes - I just kept imagining folks sidling round the door of whichever room their computer lives in - with a hopeful face and twitchy fingers - as in - think I'll just give it a little go - see whther Stu has got anywhere.........

Unfortunately I am no nearer - now I cannot upload from Microsoft Paint either - nor Irfanview, Imageshack - none of it......... Have just left an email with talk talk asking if there is any reason why my broadband won't upload - but I don't think its them - I think its something in this tower ......... and eventually I will have to bite the bullit and go back to my dealer.

Site looking good guys - just wish I could join in - I have corking pics from the Lake District burning a hole in my heart!

I feel for your frustration Pauline and know that love-hate relationship with modern technology only to well. I use a combination of broadband and PSP and I've noticed that very occasionally when saving an edited pic in PSP it goes unrecognized when I come to search for it on my pic files, depending how it is labelled. Once on my hard drive with a recognized image file extension I have no trouble uploading around the web. The other area worth investigating is your PC security settings; sometimes firewalls and pop-up blockers etc can cause obstructions.

Apologies if I'm covering old ground and adding to your frustration.

Can you confirm this for me ... thanks.

Naz

The guidelines haven't been re-written yet, so yes, it's unlimited. It's best to keep the image size down to 1600 pixels at most, but not essential.

It's got to be something on your computer Pauline. The images you sent me to upload that you couldn't, all went straight in without any modification from me.

Thanks David - you're a sweetheart for answering - I should think I'm faced with it going back to the shop for a week or so and coming back different to what I know yet again - but think that may be the only port in the storm left now.

Ta for thinking about it

Yes I think so too - sighs of resignation - shop visit looming - loss of machine for days - high risk of suicide

Its just a matter of when now rather than if - and the sooner I part with it the sooner it might come back working ... oh joy

What exactly is happening when you try to upload Pauline?

The bottom bar shows the website is looking and a progress bar moves along - gets to half way then stops and finally a page is displayed (the wording of which I can't remember - but basically its saying no way jose). When they went thro before it was literally in the blink of an eye - so as soon as I see the progress bar I know its not going to work - even allowing waiting in case there is a lot of uploading in a queue before me......... my tower won't let WAB in to extract the image. I've got pop ups off for this site - but there is the question of firewall settings? I have seen other menues while looking and if asked have allowed access to WAB but something - somewhere I think is switched on or off and maybe quite easy to find by my young friend in the shop....... or maybe not.........

Is your computer using the XP firewall? It could be something as simple as the incorrect settings in the exception list.

mh68 · #36 (**permalink**) 08-11-2007, 10:05 AM

Right....I had a similar problem on another site with uploads, but it was quite a while back.I`m pretty sure it was down to firewall settings.Which firewall program are you running?

Mark H

cybershot · #37 (**permalink**) 08-11-2007, 10:07 AM

I have heard about conflicts between 'Filename.JPG' and 'Filename.jpg' preventing uploading to certain galleries: Just a shot in the dark and, from what you've outlined so far, highly improbable.

David

PMG · #38 (**permalink**) 08-11-2007, 10:19 AM

Thanks Graham and David - I will have a look - poss later tonight as I have to be in work at 1pm and need to tear myself away from here and get ready for work.......oh joy yet again

we also need as much detail as we can get on every stage of what and how your doing things. The 'no way jose' bit might have a critical word in the error message that tells us everything we need to know about what's stopping them uploading

shirl · #40 (**permalink**) 08-11-2007, 02:07 PM

Yippee - I have just tried to uplaod an image and it uploaded and it's awaiting approval! No idea why it but I am not complaining .
Pauline - hope you find out what your problem is, I agree, write down the message when it happens again, I am sure someone will be able to help. Look forward to your pics

I thought - well if Shirl (Go Shirl - GO

) can now upload then maybe I can too - and guess what its come thro in a blink and is now pending for display........ I can't believe it but I just hope it keeps happening

I'm that shocked I've got vertigo - its no use asking me what I did - I did what I've done all along........ I suppose now I'll try another just to see if I've 'broken it'.......

Tell you what tho uploading might be back but my email is down .... whats that saying when one door ........?

Well done! Look forward to those pics now, same here I didn't do anything different it was a last try before loading some different photo editing software. Got to be worth a celebration, large glass of wine I think!

Well I might go as far as a Red Bull

As usual with these things I don't understand it - I haven't done anything different than I have been doing since Sept on and off? Now I can go thro my latest shots and prepare them for WAB at last

And APOLOGIES in advance mods - I've got that excited I think I've just uploaded the exact same shot of Blea Tarn twice - very sorry - whoever is checking them will probably realise what I've done and delete one please - sorry for that

That really is sad, we had casualties last year but we have a really healthy population now, let's hope it stays that way. This year the disaster came from the floods in summer. I could spend every day looking Water Voles!
