Constant fail to upload
 

I have attempted, 6 times over a 5 hours period, to load a photo to the Current Mission: Macro gallery. It comes back with a 'Web Page unavailable' every time.

I am trying to load via teh quick load at the bottom of the gallery. When I refresh after the failure, it takes me to a more detailed upload image page, and it fails too.

Anything I should know, or any suggestions?

I feel your pain. I have experienced exactly the same problem whilst trying to upload a photo for the weekend comp.
The site crashed the other day so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.???
I can't give you any hints or tips I'm afraid. I just hope it's sorted soon.

Good luck.

I still can't upload photos to this site. Every time try it says invalid file.
Does anyone have any ideas what this means??

Thanks

Chris

The Invalid File error seems to be a standard message for a host of different problems but the one thing that I found was that if I uploaded an image larger than 1MB it would fail , as the site converts all images to a max 900 px width the sub 1MB file size doesn't matter .

Give it a go and see how you get on .

Thanks Mark. That's a possibility. I will give it a go.
Cheers

Sorry you're having problems uploading. What is the file size you're trying to upload? And what format?

I thought about size, but I presumed that loading for a 'competition', they would want originals. Surprise ... huh...

I just tried again on original, failed. Loaded a lo-res one, it loaded.

You'd think if there was a size limit or expectation, it would say so on the loading page, or in an error.

It would make life a lot easier if this kind of info was made clearer .

I think that if your image is picked for one of the competitions then you are contacted for a high res version by email .

Agreed, it would be better if they added this info to the actual upload page rather than have to click on a link for it, [URL]http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/forum/gallery/upload.php?do=viewextensions#cat_undefined[/URL]

A few CSS issues on that page too. :rolleyes:

I find it rather frustrating that photos of only 1mb are allowed on a photography site. I have some photos that are over 1MB and being a digital alien I don't know how to get them down to 1MB for this site.
Can anyone help with this??
Thanks
