Uploading image error message


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have tried to upload several images on both my desk top and lap top computers. After selecting the image I am getting. 

 

Error This upload failed.

 

I would send a screen shot but guess what happened?

Another small issue Andy.

 

I've received a couple of PMs this evening which I noticed and read on RMWeb but neither has been sent to my e mail address.  it's not very important to me, I can easily live without it until you have a chance to investigate

 

I'm quite relieved it's not just me with the photo upload problem.

I have replicated the problem so I have raised a ticket with our server hosting to investigate.

 

I reckon you've sneakily decided to follow Photobucket's example...

 

:D

Andy, I don't know if this is part of the same problem or a different one but I seem to have stopped receiving notifications.

 

Thanks.

It will be later tomorrow before I can investigate I am afraid.

Uploading photos was fine from here in Spain until exactly 06.00 BST this morning. From this time no further pictures would upload !

Thanks.

Notifications now seem to be coming through again too.

I am at a loss on this one; I reported the problem last night but, unusually for Dediserve, I didn't get any automated notifications that they'd received the request so I was in the dark whether they had the information from me. Anyway, whether it was a glitch that resolved itself or whether they did intervene or whether it was part of a wider problem I really do not know.

 

However, it does seem to be OK now.

Indeed, the banner on the home page has been taken off, but I get the error message when trying to load a pic

 

 

Edit:  Andy's just re-added the homepage banner!

OK; I had a thought and deleted some old content and have tried some uploads which worked which indicates we've hit some kind of physical space limit which needs to  be investigated and addressed.

Hi,

 

I can now upload images, but the uploader is forcing portrait images to be rotated to Landscape, I've made sure that they are rotated the correct way on my computer, but no luck, could it be something my end or to do with the uploader?

Andy, as a temporary solution, how about (re)moving the old forum to free up space on this server, and a dedicated server/host for the old forum at a more convenient time.

 

[edit: I'd also suggest re-instating an upload limit of 500kB for images. If you want your "super ultra HD HD" image to require more space for whatever reason, find your own hosting :rolleyes: ]

 

Is that per image, or a total limit? :)

 

Joking apart, I edit most of my images to be under 250KB without it compromising either an acceptable size or level of detail.

 

For example, this image is 1296 x 864 pixels, and comes out at 214KB:
