Title: Can't Add Photos
Post by: Ian A on Jul 22, 2012, 07:03 PM
For some reason I cannot add photos.

I am doing the usual thing by adding a file then inserting, then hitting the "submit" button. A "wheel" spins around for a few seconds at the top of the screen then stops.

No error message and no page refresh - nothing.

Heeeeeeeelp !!!!

depending what size you've 'shrunk' them too it can take ages.

If you're trying to upload them at the full resolution from the camera each one will be several meg in size and can take a LONG time to upload depending on your internet connection speed. (remember that UPLOAD speed will be considerably slower than DOWNLOAD speed. Therefore a single 5 meg photo straight from a camera could take several minutes.

My advice, resize them to about 1024x768 (ish) which should bring them to a sensible file size. Your internet connection will then have a much better time with them!
