Doesn't work, I cannot, canNOT upload pictures to this forum anymore. I would really appreciate it if this post included a list of whatever specs the pictures have to match to be able to upload them. I moved a couple up within the first week of signing on but I have not been able to get any up since then.

Are you trying to upload from your PC or a Image Host ?

[Jirel]

From my pc - is that the problem?

[fred]

ahh I would say they need to be resize to be uploaded.
try that and see how you go

[Jirel]

Can you give me a size constraint? Or a suggested size? I'll swear I tried a 500 X 500 one time. But I don't know if there's also a total size (as in 1k) or anything like that.

[Jirel]

I just tried one that 180K, 495 bytes X 500 Bytes
and one at 36K, 238 X 240

Both were rejected.

Dear Fred,
Thank you for taking the time to contact me as I know you must be very busy.
I have, in the past, successfully posted other pic. without a problem.
K. March one when I have this prob. corrected and restored them.
As usual, I seem to be a screw up on this site even though I've recommended it to my family and friends.
It's frustrating. To be corrected for posting on the wrong forum, etc. but I a doing my best to learn. Orchids4Me is giving me a primer as she's most attuned to this.
Where I'll learn, I don't know.
I'd so appreciate your help.
I'm still perplexed as to why the pics. didn't show as it is of Slc. Jewel Box 'Dark Water' ad I'd like to share it with the member.
Too, I'd appreciate your help.
Sincerely, Lee Hollimon

Fred the instructions you gave in the later part are the exact ones I've tried in the past and have successfully done so without a problem. It's maddening.
Maybe it's better I keep the images of my orchids to myself regardless of my willingness to share. Lee

please do not put yourself down because post or threads of yours get moved
none of us are perfect, moving a thread or a post into the correct section is no big deal
if a thread or a post is moved into the right section the staff have 3 options
1 notify the member
2 leave an expiring amount of time
3 or do so without notice

Lee sometimes it takes a while to get the hang of things your doing your best and that is good enough.

as for your photos that are black in the image gallery I would preview the photos before posting "submit"
or upload into a image host and copy and paste the [IMG] code in the image host then paste the code.

see how that goes for you
I personally think all the "Geeks" would like to see your photos so please don't give up

In three days I've only been able to upload two photos, the rest of the time I get back and internal server error or some page saying I'm not connected to the internet while I in fact am. It's gotten quite old already, it's not like my camera decides "Oy Mark, this shot I'll make under 97.7, but the next three I'll make bigger just to piss off that website". Fix your site maybe I'll come back, maybe I'll be inclined to donate. Ya never know.

I run a FREE program called shrinkpic in the background on my pc and have done so for years, it will automatically shrink all attachment you send, it is found here Shrink Pic free download. It also shrinks without loss of definition. Try it it works!

Cheers
Bernie

[Greybeard]

Good one Bernie, I've also joined that "Photobucket" site but it makes doing pics a pain. I haven't tried the old way yet it made it so much easier for me but I'll try this new one Thanks

[ArtGeekMark]

I'm still having an issue uploading some photos , tonight I get back this error msg:

Internal Server Error Remote address: 173.191.109.127 User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; Trident/5.0) REFERER: http://www.orchidgeeks.com/forum/new...5d29d5bbc7d9c8 URL: /forum/newattachment.php?do=manageattach&p=

Wait... Windows NT? Modzilla?! My attachments have been sent back to 1997?!

I don't have problems posting pics whether in a thread or the gallery. The question I have is, why, when you post in the gallery, is the thumbnail image different than the actual image once it is clicked on? I've noticed the same thing in viewing current posts done by others. It wasn't that way when I did my first posts. Only after the crash.

[Fishmom]

This morning I tried to post pics for the first time since the crash. I also experienced what Puddy1 referred to: the image displayed in the "slide show" of my images is different from the one I actually uploaded, and which is displayed when I click on the picture.

Also, when I uploaded, I received a message stating that "parameter 2 was exceeded" but the upload supposedly suceeded anyway. I wasn't able to get the picture into a post, however. The BB code wouldn't copy.

Frustrating!!! I've been putting off doing this; guess I will wait a while longer.

[Ellezabella]

I too, have not been able to upload photos. I click on the paper clip on a message, or go to Manage Attachements. I then get a Choose file option. I click & get the photo app on my computer & see the photos I wish to upload. I click, upload/choose, the website says Uploading Photo, please wait, then ........ crickets. Nuttin'. Nada. I've been trying for about 3 hours now. How can I get the answers to my questions - which id what this site is for - if I can't show what i am asking about? Advice invited!! Thanks!

I have been trying over 3 weeks now! I get same results

Seems like all is well as far as posting pics to a thread for me. I still don't fully understand posting to the gallery, so I don't use it as often as I might.
There is another board that will remain nameless, that requires all sorts of resizing and jumping through hoops in general to post pics. Its almost like you've gotta be a computer engineer just to upload a flower

[Fishmom]

Thanks, Tony. Are you using photobucket or some other hosting site?

[fred]

just to let you all know I have been advised the programmer is looking into the issue

I have no problem loading pictures from my hard drive. I take pictures with my iPhone and it has a software that resizes it. It comes originally big (2070 pixels) and before I save & label it to my hard drive; I can sharpen the blur and brighten it and size it to 500 pixels. I also noticed that it is 448 kb/ per picture and I can load as many as 7 pictures at a time. I follow exactly what Fred has instructed.

[norris]

I never had to re-size my photos before, and now I get this message:

I never had any problems uploading pictures to the OPG, but today I've been getting this message:
Internal Server Error Remote address: 194.121.169.49 User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; rv:6.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.1 REFERER: http://www.orchidgeeks.com/gallery/upload.php?c= URL: /gallery/upload.php

And no uploaded pictures..

What could be wrong?
