Title: Can't upload photos
Post by: E Kayaker on September 02, 2017, 08:17:08 PM
The other day I thought it might be a problem because I was uploading photos I'd gotten from Flickr. Today I can't upload screen shots taken of my iPad. They always worked before.

Your files may be borderline too large which is why you may sometimes and may not sometimes upload.

I have the same problem on NWKA, crop it a little bit and your golden. iPhone and iPad pics are rather large files.

It makes my brain hurt just thinking about how such code could have been written. If it is borderline too large, it is too large and should never upload...

I cropped the original ones I wanted to upload and it worked. I guess the screenshot of the error message is easier to compress and is a smaller file size than the google map screen shots. Was the file size limit changed? I've uploaded lots of google map screen shots in the past.

To shrink the resolution you can email them to yourself and choose something smaller than full size. If you don't want to lose resolution you can crop them on your phone or iPad with the edit controls. Other than that I use You Doodle on my photos. Photoshop it isn't, but you can add text, lines, arrows, shapes etc onto photos, and you can crop their size. It also does other stuff that I haven't played with.

I originally had trouble uploading these photos to a private message. They aren't too big and upload now. One google maps screen shot is 7 megs. Most other photos and screen shots aren't anywhere near that size. It can't only be photo size. These are much smaller than the google maps screen shot. I also just sent them via PM. Why didn't they upload before?

I think the settings on the new server are a little bit different than the old one.  I'll take a look and adjust when I have some time.

I had a problem uploading pics from my I phone I had to get 3rd party software to reduce the image size
It appears my phones high resolution is the problem 
And ya it sucks resizing every pic
Title: Re: Can't upload photos

Have you tried cropping them. You shouldn't need the extra software to do that so it might be a little easier.
Title: Re: Can't upload photos
Post by: polepole on October 03, 2017, 10:52:24 AM
I think I can fix this to some extent on the server side.  The max size seems to have decreased with the last server move.  Just need a free moment ...

If you email the pics to yourself, you should be asked what size, usually three choices, to send.

I think during these server moves the limit got reduced.  I’ve upped the limit to 8MB.

I don't think we've ever supported video uploads directly.  Use a service like YouTube.

I don’t think so.  We specifically exclude attachments with video file extensions.  Always have.
