PROBLEM UPLOADING PICTURES TO THIS SITE!

Postby ASTROBUDDY » 9 years ago

Hi, everyone! I wonder if you can help me! Recently when I tried to upload some pictures some pictures I had, for the first time I received 'PICTURE CAN'T BE SHOWN DUE TO ERROR.

I then tried to upload some pictures that I had uploaded on this site before and I got the same message!

Has any one else experiences this?


I :heart: :astro: :)

We've been having database errors with hosting pictures here for a while sadly and it is possibly due to the outdated version of VBulletin :unsure: So far, for most members the problem goes away if you wait for a while and then try again.

In lieu of uploading pictures directly to the site you can try using websites such as photobucket and then linking the photo here.

Believe me, this is an incredibly irritating error for us moderators too.

I had the same thing occur, turns out, it will no longer resize large images, 800 By 600 is the max. Took me a while to figure it out! :hyo:

The above is exactly 800 by 600 pixels. The max allowed.

Assuming others can see the text twice, I was unsure if the non doublequoted lines were visible to others. Anyway, "Name: printscreen.jpg Views: 0 Size: 157 By" is exactly 800 by 601, & that 1 too many pixels in height make it rejected.

Thank you, JeffBert! Here is a picture I wanted to upload under "Ti-Tan(ium)"; the cover of the first part of the story!
