Trouble posting photo's

Shortly after sending Mike a pm I located his articles on posting photo's.

I've posted photo's here before, but I must say that I absolutely hate the process...mostly because my computer is slow.

I resized about 10 photo's with Easy Thumbnails, created a folder to place the newly resized photo's into (800X800), created an album in my gallery to place them, then I proceeded to trying to upload all ten (10) pictures...which didn't work, so I backed off to four (4) and that didn't work either...backed off to trying to upload only two (2) photo's and so far I'm still waiting...been waiting for almost ten (10) minutes to upload two (2) 800X800 photo's.

I'm on RoadRunner Business line as well, but my computer is seven (7) years old though.

Hasn't kicked me offline yet, so maybe there's a possibility of the photo's getting to my album...then I only have to wait for 8 more to upload.

As if the process of uploading photo's on this forum isn't enough already. Geeeez Louis!!!!!!!

Just venting a bit...

Don't need to post it. I will do that when we figure out what's going on. We we figure it out I wanted to upload a few more to albums for different threads.

Been putting off uploading photo's for too long and it's high time to get some uploaded and threads made.

Just look and you need to change the prefix from,

.JPG

to

.jpg


Give that a try, other than that the file name format and size look good.

I wonder why, or how, it got changed? Never had that happen the other times I uploaded photo's.

Next time I'll know to take a look. I just assumed it was fine as uploaded from my files. You don't know what you don't know...

I'll see if it works. Thank you sir!!!
 
That is really interesting that the .JPG got capitalized like that. I went into some files with resized photo's of some pictures of a Ranger Bass Boat that are already in an album in my gallery and the .jpg is all lower case. I have no idea why they uploaded differently, that is, the .JPG got capitalized like that. That's interesting. I'm pretty certain the pictures downloaded the same...meaning I followed the same steps to get them onto my computer.

I wonder if something happened in the Easy Thumbnails program? IDK!
 
OK (anyone),

I took a look at many of the photo's on my computer that came straight from the camera. Most, but not all, look like this .JPG which would explain Mikes comments. However, the thing that is weird as that all the pictures I've previously resized using Easy Thumbnails have all been resized and were changed to (via Easy Thumbnails I suppose) .jpg ... and were uploaded successfully to the AG gallery/album.

So now the question is; Why did Easy Thumbnails change the vast majority of my pictures that started as .JPG and change them to .jpg and not change the most recent pictures I tried to resize?

I've erased all the resized pictures (the 10 I was working with). I'm going to try and resize them again using Easy Thumbnails and see what happens. It should work because I'm doing the same thing as I did months ago when I tried uploaded pictures and was successful...which is the same steps I took with these 10 photo's following Mike's directions on his how-to thread.:dunno:
 
Okay...

All of my previously uploaded photo's were shot with my cheapo' phone, then uploaded to the AG gallery. All of those photo's are .jpg and it seems they were that way when I resized them using Easy Thumbnails.

There's only one photo that's been uploaded that was taken with my new camera and that photo was sent to Mike via email and he uploaded it for me and it's .jpg. I have not tried to upload anymore photo's to this site, in addition to what Mike posted for me, since getting my new camera. Obviously, I would have had this problem before (.JPG to .jpg) had I tried uploading more pictures.

Now the question is: Am I going to have to go into my 'pictures' and change every single photo from .JPG to .jpg? Talk about taking forever.
 
I don't have any answer for any of your questions but here's how I avoid any photo problems...

I rename all the file names for every picture I upload for use in the Internet.

For example in this thread I just created, after taking the pictures I renamed them,

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_001.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_002.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_003.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_004.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_005.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_006.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_007.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_008.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_009.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_010.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_01.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_012.jpg

Rupes_Zephir_Gloss_Coarse_Gel_Compound_013.jpg


By doing this I never have any uploading issues and after I insert ONE pictures using the tags[/B] I can then quickly copy and paste the code for the one picture over and over again and then just continue to change the last digits and presto...

It's a system that works for me...

Ha ha Mike. You're making me look bad, man.:laughing:

Guess I'll rename all the photo's then and make sure to make the jpg in lower case letters.
 
Hi Bill:

Try making them 800x600 instead of 800x800 and see if one loads.

If it's a normal camera, the geometry is 4x3 and you're telling it to make a square rather than a rectangle. That might be throwing off the re-size routines, or even preventing it from running against the files you are selecting.

I changed everything to .jpg and they still didn't load. Something else must be wrong.

Going to try some other things and see what happens.

Just to note:
I have 4 albums created. One is called 'products'. I go to that album, look to the right where it says upload photo's and then click on it, which opens a page to start downloading the photo's. I'm thinking all of that has been done correctly and isn't the problem.
 
Alright...

I finally got one to upload correctly into my album.

I'm pretty certain that Mike's suggestion of changing .JPG to .jpg has worked. For some reason or another I just don't think it was going to let me upload 10 pictures at a time. However, yesterday it wouldn't even allow me to upload 2 pictures at a time, but now it has excepted one photo. So, let me see how this goes.

This shouldn't be as hard as it's been. After Mike's suggestion I tried things again last night, almost 3 hours, with no luck. Now, I just did the same exact procedure, but only uploading one photo and has finally worked.

Ding dang, Mike. I did everything the same last night, but now it's working. I did have some connection issues yesterday and perhaps that was the issue. :dunno:
 
Interesting...

I just had a page pop up not only with the photo's resized with .jpg and after I renamed them _01, _02, etc., of which 5 photo's are now in my album, but it's showing photo's that uploaded last night. So, I just unchecked them because I only want the numbered photo's. That's weird!!!
 
Just uploaded all 10 photo's successfully. What ever the issue was, I think the kinks are worked out of it now.

At least now y'all don't think I'm crazy and can't post photo's. LOL!!!

Still working some bugs out, Bob. Just sent Mike a pm.

I can now see my photo's in my gallery/album, and I tried making a new thread with them, but for some reason or another the only one that showed up was the one Mike and I both posted. All the rest of the photo's showed up as links when I tried to preview the thread before posting. I must be ignorant.

Profile page? All I can tell you is they're in an album called 'Products'. I have a Ranger Bass Boat album with pics and three other albums made up with no pics in them yet. Can you guess why? LOL!!!
