Problem with Uploading pics and tags

submatt · Post by **submatt** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 7:23 am

I have IE 7.

BTW, I'm working on another tease, and my current ratio is about 2/3 good, 1/3 have to try the upload over again.

The only other thing I can think of that you get a bit of packet loss when connecting to our server. Do you get any images or not showing up sometimes or anything like that?

Do you have DSL/Broadband or not? Do you have a firewall?

FYI - I use IE and I have a dial-up connection, if that makes any difference.

Hmm yes I already thaught about a firewall problem. But if he uses a modem he don't have a router, right? And I don't think a software firewall will block the pic upload. Submatt maybe try to deactivate your windows firewall.

mine still only works every other time, I have a firewall and a but load of anti-virus software, have a wireless network with broadband router, and the receiver always has a strong signal and good speeds both UL and DL. using Firefox.

this has all been the same for roughly a month when i last updated my spy ware software, so without knowing to much technical information and knowledge around this area I'm going to do what most people do and say the problem is on your end lol.

Damn, this bug is really annoying. No matter what I try I can't get it to not work here.

Could you find out if has something to do with the image? Maybe one of our thousand security filter has something against large uploads or uploads with certain content. Just try if an image can work and then not work the next time or the other way round, thanks!

Just FYI - I'm still having problems uploading pics. It's very frustrating. It literally takes me about 2.5 times longer to make a webtease page, because while sometimes the upload works on the first try, other times I have to try it 4 times. And that means going back to the main Edit Tease Page, scrolling down though the tease I'm working on (which is now over 70 pages), clicking on Add a New Page, scrolling down again, and trying the upload again. Only to do it all yet again if the upload fails again.

I know you've already looked at the problem, but can you look again? I mean, I'm not the only one with an issue, so I don't think it's my computer. And it's not the pictures I'm using, because if they don't work the first time, they do work eventually.

Seriously, I'm at my wits end. I want to contribute more to the site, but this is driving me nuts. Please find a way to fix the problem.

Sincerely,

Submatt

I tried to upload different formats and a very big picture (1,4 MB) It took almost one minute to upload it, but it worked. The problem is, it's difficult to find an error if you don't have any hint. I can understand that it's annoying for you, but the most users have no problems and it's difficult to find your problem if it works fine for the rest.

How long is the duration when you upload a pic? Maybe you use w-lan and your connection interupts for some MS? Probably not but I have no clue

Ok, enough is enough, I'm going to whip something up.

I know - apparently it's working fine for most people. And I wish I could give you some bit of information that would help. I use a dial-up connection (MSN), and it usually takes 30-60 seconds per upload. I use IE, the latest version. I've deleted my history and cookies and so on. I don't have a firewall. I'm not on a network. I use Norton for virus protection.

That's all I can think of.

Ok, I've completely rewritten the uploader from scratch.

Please try again now.

Dude, you should've mentioned that earlier. Dial-up connections tend to have high levels of packet loss. Maybe the quality of your phone line went down recently. It probably never had anything to do with the site. Uploads are just very sensitive. Maybe the new uploader is more robust though. Please try it out.

Cheers,

I haven't had any more problems

Wow! The new uploader works great. No problems at all. Thank you so much. I will be writing a whole bunch more now.
