Having problems posting photos? Post the details here!
 

I need to collect as much info as I can on what's happening to some people, myself included, getting errors or blank screens when trying to post images.

Here's what I need:
Size of original picture
Browser
result (server error 500 or blank screen, etc)

The site has an image resizing program, so size shouldn't matter, so I have a suspicion that's the issue, but I'm not a developer. :)

Once we've collected enough info, I'll ask our host to read this thread and see if he can discover what's going wrong.


Thanks all!

The shot I can't seem to post is
571 KB jpg
its dimensions
4973 x 3659
(fairly small for me)
when I submit it goes to the diagnose connection problems (internet explorer) :( screen. I get the 505 error message. :mad:
thats about all the info I can think of.

I know 'pre-crash', that pictures over 2.0 were flagged as 'too big'. Since the crash, I have to crop my pictures down to 1.3 in order to have them post. Then when they come up, they are HUGE in my own screen.. :eek:


Next time I post, I'll pay attention better and post my results-but usually, if its too big-the screen is just the blank light blue and the bottom of the window displays 'Done'......I don't know if that helps, but that's my .03



*EDIT*

I just tried posting a pic........I had to keep re-sizing until I got to 1.0 before it would take the upload!!

My most recent failed post was 4000 by 1687 and only 659 kb. Generally, anything over 800 by 600 and/or over 1mb get me a blank white screen and "done" in the bottom left corner. Also, I can no longer click on my pics to see the "blown up" version, but some pics from others will do that for me.

If I take the picture using the large setting on the camera, it wont post unless I resize on photobucket. If I take the picture using the small setting, it will generally post fine, but the image quality suffers. (I am assuming that "L" and "S" mean large and small. I know basically nothing about "real" photography.)

I am using Internet Explorer 8

Don't know if it helps...
 

The last picture I just successfully posted was 800x600 pixels, 250 KB big, and I'm using Microsoft Internet Explorer

I can always post as long as the pictures arent bigger than 1100 by 800 or 11 by 900? anything over 1100 it wont let me!

It looks like our Server Admin, Sean, fixed it! I uploaded a test image at it's native resolution (I didn't have to resize it at all) and it worked! Have a look!

The problem was the image resizing program on the server side wasn't working properly, so he switched to a different program that is working fine.

Thank you Sean!
