Earlier today it took me 3 tries to get one uploaded.
It uploaded on the second try - but the image didn't show just the text /description, but if I clicked the description then it would show the picture..
So I tried the same photo again and it worked correctly that time.

I keep trying but it says invalid so I'm giving up for tonight.

I've already tried about 3 or 4 times today, but I'll have another go later and see how I go.

OK! I'm progressing.

I have been able to upload 2 photos, but I still just have text (as in the photo description) even though I've tried the same photos again and again.

This is a step forward and I'll try again tomorrow.:D

I just tried again and got invalid. Darn it!

DocJohn has been notified.

am I correct that these errors are occurring when members are trying to load photos to their photo albums on their profiles? and not when loading to the NeuroTalk general photo gallery? or is it to both??

Chemar,

I am having problems loading photos to my photo albums. It keeps telling invalid when I attempt to add a photo to an existing album or newly created album.

I have not tried to load any photo's to my profile so I don't know if others are having problems with the profile.

Thanks,
Becky

becky, i think chemar is asking if the album you are trying to load to is the one in your profile or the Our Photo Gallery located at the top right of NeuroTalk. that is a photo album for all the members. members can also make albums there.

i don;t see where you have made an album in the Our Photo Gallery.

Curious,

You are right. I thought she was talking about the problem with adding photos to our albums in our profiles.:o I'm not thinking very clearly today.

For me it's my private album titled Our DGS William. If you want to have a peek you'll see what I mean by the text.

If I click the text itself I can see the photos hiding underneath. :)

There are more specific limitations on what size photos you can upload to your vB Album versus the photo gallery here. Try uploading a small photo (say, less than 200px x 200px and 30k in dimensions and size) and seeing if that works. If it does, the problem you're experiencing is likely related to the photo's size.

If it still doesn't, then I'll have to look into things further.

DocJohn

It worked!!!!:):):) I added my pictures with no problem!:)

Thank you Doc John!!:D

I tried adding pictures to a new album today (one in my profile) and it didn't matter what size the file was. All I get is text, similar to Koala's problem. When I click on the test the photo appears, but that's the only way you can view the photos.

I've tried making the photos 200x200 all the way up to 1000 x 975. No luck. I've tried .jpg and bitmap. neither does any good.

And I can only load one at a time, not 3, like the text box allows. I get an error message when trying to do 3.

Thanks for your help Doc!

I made all mine smaller and some photos have made it through although they actually do look small, and others were refused as invalid. :confused:

I took all the photos using the same camera, and resized them all to the exact same measurements.

When I have more time, I will try again..... one more time......

I am too tired to deal with it anymore tonight. The last one I uploaded was 200x200. That's the one I made the cover for the album and it didn't show. I give up. Whatever....:(

After working in all this heat this week to get this landscape job done, uploading pictures is the least of my worries! :rolleyes:

what does your upload page say now for requirements??
mine says this-
[Pictures Remaining 487
Maximum File Size per Picture 9.54 MB
Maximum Picture Dimensions 1,800 by 1,800 Pixels]

they are uploading for me but with text instead of thumbnail size - but the photo size is pretty large when I click on the text.

Same thing.

This morning I tried to attach a very small photo to a post and I kept getting invalid file error message.

Yes, I cleared my cache, I cleared everything. I tried all the tips that have been posted earlier, nothing worked. It's a .jpg file 100x100, 22k, and I cannot find any reason why I get the invalid file error message when trying to attach it to a post in a thread.

Ditto here. Seems like the photo gremlin is back. I've adjusted sizes, etc and still get an "invalid photo" error. Both for the albulm and for posting.

hopefully Doc will be able to get a fix on it when next he is on

I have uploaded the photos to my album now. The problem seems to have been fixed! Thanks!

:D

Now let's see if I can add an attachment to a post!

Yep! I added an attachment to a post in The Stumble Inn...My airplane now has a guard dog!!

Many thanks!!!

W00T!!! My pics loaded too. :)

Thank you.
 

Mine too. Thank you Doc John! :hug:

I did downsize them all, but I went out and took a photo of snow caps in the distance this morning. When I downloaded it to my album, it's come up super duper large, and fills the screen. Yes, I've done a resize to bring it down to the size of my other photos.

Sooo....I've put some in my album, and I'll do more when I get more time.

I'm unable to upload photos again.

I've cleaned the cache. I've signed out and signed back in again. I've downsized all the photos, but am getting the invalid file notice. Yesterday I got some in, but only with the photo description on the page again.

This morning I was able to add one photo, but when I checked it was way too big so I deleted it, and now nothing.

I am wondering if it has anything to do with the server problems this week...just a wild guess.
