Uploading Difficulties - Information Request

If you are one of the people who has recently had difficulty uploading images that are under site limits, please reply with file size. The issue is being worked on and your response may be of assistance in getting things fixed. Thanks.

Most of my uploads have taken several attempts to upload some 4 or 5 and They are between 600kb and 1mb which usually upload OK.

I tried to upload a 317KB image to the "Bricks" No Words Forum thread. The first two attempts failed with the message that the file was too large for the server to handle. The third attempt succeeded.

Yours and mine at 661 kb (same problem) are tiny and should have gone straight thru. They are looking at my image to see if they can they can figure out what is going on.

Don't know if it is any help, but some images previously posted have had one or two failures (with usual message) before posting OK.

Hi Sandy, it has just taken three attempts to upload to No Words.

Week end, but I will pass along all responses. Thanks.

Sandy, admittedly I'm baffled. The current POTD is 13 days behind, and the POTW ...

619 kb, tried several times before the upload was successful. Thread: "Phone Phriday 26 April, 2019".

I can tee it up, unfortunately I can't hit the ball. I have no answer for you - possibly overloaded personnel & other priorities.

Mine was very similar in size - I do know that the problem is sporadic and they are looking into it.

People listing file size is a waste of time. The issue has nothing to do with file size. Today I had to make several attempts to upload my images to the NW forum. All of the images were well within normal limits. If the issue was related to file size then the upload would not work on the second or third try with the same file.

Two reasons to ask - to substantiate the degree to which the situation occurs and to provide a pool of individuals who can send sample files (as I did) if Tech requests it. Sorry you are having problems - when it happens to me, most times a second try is all it takes.

I don't know if this is the *main* cause that everybody is having but recently I got an "error" msg. and realized that it was due to clicking on the "reply" button Before the image was fully uploaded in "Fullimage". But there's probably others causes as well...

Thanks for your candor, Sandy. In the meantime, the last images are growing moss.

It's now Saturday, 04 May 2019. I can be patient for a reasonable time, but the time since I brought the POTD, POTW matter to your attention is 17 calendar days. Sandy, please understand that I am not throwing shade toward you; you have nothing to do with the posting of these images.

 

I would think that Admin considers the POTD and POTW as selling points for people considering membership. However, anyone slightly adept with researching a website would be be able to conclude that the POTD and POTW have not been updated for quite a while. Also, this has a chilling effect on current members, who may feel that this issue is just another indication that PN is declining.

 

Sandy, your attempt to explain this neglect - whether benign or malignant - is an honorable one. But, it's now a week since you offered that explanation ("possibly overloaded personnel").

 

I really don't want to become just another victim of "PN Malaise." But the illness is spreading, and Admin needs to find a way to halt its progress. And . . . hopefully sooner rather than later.

My best, michael

Usually takes a few tries.

This morning's experience - First post to N/W - Slogans - "Too Large" (500kb file). Gave it 5 minutes and tried again - "Error". Changed the title of the file and tried again - "Too Large". Had a cuppa and tried again - "Too Large" I then did the obvious and made the file LARGER (700kb) and it is now there. Go figure.

In the words of Rosanadanna, "It's always something." Issue has been reported several times - sample images sent.

Sandy, whatever role you played in the posting of a new POTD and a new POTW, I'm grateful.

Haven't a clue - hope I helped. Sometimes I do know, but not this time.

May I proffer my thanks to those who have sorted out one of the minor glitches that seem to have caused others distress ? I refer, of course, to the problems uploading images. I am please to say that this issue has not happened (to me, at any rate) for over a week now. Have any others had the same experience - and if so, would they care to join me in a vote of thanks ?

Guess what??!!?? I just posted a new thread relating to the range of issues this one addressed.

Passed along the info - just now uploaded to No Words (not a shot I'd usually post), smooth as silk.
