Tried to upload photos in the Member Galleries BobCard and album “Info” clicked upload/submit stated it was “Processing upload please wait” went to the next screen stating “Preparing to process” changed to screen “Your image was uploaded successfully” But no images are in the album or gallery.

Just wanted to let you know,
Bob

Ok just tried to upload to one of my exsisting albums and the same thing happened.

I guess I'll have to wait untill I get home and try it again.



And again nothing

When I did some testing over the past week I have noted the following...

1. I was able to upload photos that were not larger than 3mb.

2. If I did try to upload a photo larger than the maximum upload size (as stated on the upload form) I was taken back to my main photos page and the photo did not upload. There was no warning or error message to tell me why the photo did not upload.

Is this what others are seeing or something different?

Thanks,
Jim

Yes that's it,but I never had any problems before with the size of my pictures,I haven.t done anything diffrent with my camera.
How does one make their pictures smaller to the correct size

Hi Jim, Have been having the same problems as Bob, have been posting in another spot. I did have a mixed day the other day, I managed to upload photos to the swing wing campaign folder but have been having problems uploading them to the paint it black folder. Both photos are of the same size, roughly, and do not exceed size limit. When I am trying to post to the paint it black folder it tells me that it is processing before it comes up with, as quoted by Bob “Preparing to process” changed to screen “Your image was uploaded successfully”. It then takes you into the folder but no photo from me. Not too sure if I'm doing something wrong or if its just the folder itself. Anyway, hope you can help.

I was able to upload several photos this morning without any problems...

Don't know if I did something right, or if the system is okay...

Use a photo editing software, such as Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Photoshop, Gimp etc. and you should be able to get into 'resize picture' mode, I usually make mine 600x800. If you don't have any editing software, your camera should be able to take photos with less resolution...such as 'normal, HQ (high quality) and SHQ (super high quality). Just set it to the lower setting.

I haven't had any problems uploading for about a week now, going smooth as ever.

Thanks Jim,
Did a little experimenting and yes one was just a hair over 3mb and that stopped them all from uploading.
But removing that large one and they went ok. Have to watch that from now on.
Thanks again,
Bob

hello Jim,
some of the builders over at the Blitzkrieg campaign are having trouble uploading to the Blitzkrieg gallery.if you look at page 19 of the thread you will see what i mean.i have told them to post the photo's on the thread and i will make sure that they get the ribbon if they can not get the photo's up loaded to the gallery.
cheers,
Bruce
