Use this file as thumbnail

If you're sending a local file that won't generate its own thumbnail... Think of a CD cover for a MP3, or a screenshot for a video...

 

 

8. went to 'file to upload' bar and clicked choose file

a box showing my desk top appeared.

 

Actually it showed my Akihabara Yamanote/Keihin Tohoku to UenoPlatform file which is on my desk top

I can click the up/down arrow to show my desktop

 

9. selected a photo and clicked choose

 

10. a jpg photo number appeared next to 'choose file'

 

The jpg number doesn't appear below, but it is on the page I just saved.

Sorry for all of the trouble

Thank you for your help,

I think this must be a safari issue since i know that uploading is now working again.

 

Do you have any access to a windows based system with firefox, chrome or IE just to test the theory?

[gmat]

Thank you, Darren,

My wife has a computer that uses Windows, but it is in Japanese and I hate to use it. I'll try to upload a photo here from her computer, but I don't think that it would be a long term solution. I'll have to download photos on my computer and make a DVD to upload it on my wife's computer.

 

I think that I must be doing something wrong.

Thank you again,

Best wishes,

Grant

Grant, thanks, that's helpful. How big is the file you are trying to upload? In the past, people trying to upload files that were too big would receive similar problems. I'll try uploading to your folder with Chrome and Safari 5 on my Mac now.

Grant, thanks, that's helpful. How big is the file you are trying to upload? In the past, people trying to upload files that were too big would receive similar problems. I'll try uploading to your folder with Chrome and Safari 5 on my Mac now.

 

I was able to upload a 200K jpg to your folder via both Chrome and Safari 5 on my MacBook running OS X 10.5 Leopard. I suspect that you may be uploading files too large?

[Darren Jeffries]

Ok, I have increased the maximum file size to 5MB and the dimensions to 4096 by 4096 pixels for now, lets see if this is a size issue on either front. I suspect the pixel size will have zero to do with it because the server will resize anything too big anyway. But 5MB should allow for even the biggest of digital shots.

[gmat]

Thank you for your effort, Darren,

Tried again tonight, but the same results happened, so it probably wasn't the size of the file. Perhaps it's disabled Flash support, but I'm not aware of having done that.

 

Thanks again,

Best wishes,

Grant

[CaptOblivious]

Grant, have you tried a different browser on your Mac? What version of Safari are you running?

[gmat]

To add to comment from the Ban'etsu thread. I'm putting it here is anyone might possibly need help.

 

I went to the file set up by captOblivious and clicked the add an item to this album. There was a submit function that I didn't see when I tried it earlier today. There wasn't one in the mass upload page. I can work it this way.

 

For the less skilled at computers, it would have been helpful to say "After you click the choose file and then upload a file from your desk top, look for the submit, it's at the bottom right hand corner.

 

Thanks.

Grant

Is there a way to upload photos from your computer rather than through Photobucket? That way I wouldn't have to worry about filling that account and being forced to delete photos. Also, would it be better to upload it into a folder in the gallery or post in the Prototype forum?

Thank you,

Bet wishes.

Grant

 

IDK what the hell Photobucket did that caused that issue, though I am grateful as all out that I'm not the only one who has that issue. At some point I plan to shut my PB account down outright and go over to Photo Shelter. PB did not start having issues with mass uploads until about mid-2010. I think they are discouraging people from posting anything over 250kb.

[gmat]

They moved this thread without warning. I think that Photobucket wants to nudge us into paying $24.99 a year for the Pro version.

I'm seriously thinking of it as although I haven't tried any other type of photo account, this one is simple and easy to undestand and use. Two very important pluses.

 

Best wishes,

Grant
