Adding Pictures to the Gallery
Started by KatLady a while ago

I have been trying to upload a picture to my gallery, but the upload buttons don't seem to work.  I even deleted a couple of pictures in case I had reached a limit for entry, but that didn't change anything.  What am I doing wrong?

hello there,

what size is your file? 
Due to some limitations, the file can't be larger than 10 MB

Be sure to upload JPG files, other types may not be supported.

Hi, thanks for answering so fast.  The file was 99K and a jpg.

I just tried clicking the upload file button but nothing happens, there is no place to specify what file.

Hi Katlady,

Booksbydavid and myself had the same problem. The only way we found round it was to try different browsers. IE11 didn't work for me but chrome did. Can't remember which one BooksbyDavid used in the end.

 

Hope that helps.

It finally worked for me with Palemoon (a firefox clone). Opera also works. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm on right now. The site appears to run very fast in Opera compared to Palemoon.

that is interesting, 

I am using Google Chrome and tried to upload a test image and it work with no issues at all.

In theory all standard browsers should work fine.

Jetbird D2,

I've gone back to using IE11 and as I type this if I press "attach file" in the forum reply box nothing happens. It's probably because MS have tied down the security on IE as tight as a drum. There's probably a setting somewhere, perhaps in security, that will let it work but I can't find it.

P.S. Hope everything's alright with your Grandmother and going well with your course.

The upload program isn't working right, then.  It should handle standard browsers.  It used to handle Firefox which I use, with no problems.  I just tried using Internet Explorer but once again nothing happened.  Who maintains the site?  They should be notified so this is fixed.
