ZephyrBlue Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Umm... Hello everypony...So I've uploaded about six or seven pictures thusfar, and had no problem doing so, but recently I tried to add some more artwork to my album. When the upload bar reached 100%, everything would begin idling, and the next picture in the queue would remain at zero, with the caption "pending" underneath them.Has anypony else experienced this problem before? Any suggestions that might lead towards a solution?Let me know;~Zephyr Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantonDamnark Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Yeah, I know what you mean. It seems it goes directly to 100% no matter what. Just wait while the real loading happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBlue Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've kept the tab open for over an hour, and no progress has been made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantonDamnark Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 What is the size of the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manestream Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 please include all information possible such as which album your uploading to, what the parent album is, and anything else that might help us look into the problem- a lot of the information on your end is easy to overlook because its right there- but without some guidelines im not sure where to start looking! Lets start with the albums your trying to upload to- what would those be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBlue Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well, I tried to upload it to my album "Misc. Art", under the parent album "Canterlot Community Art". The files were about 2.4 megabytes in size, but seeing as we are given a so-called infinite amount of storage space, that shouldn't pose a problem.

Autumn Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well, I tried to upload it to my album "Misc. Art", under the parent album "Canterlot Community Art". The files were about 2.4 megabytes in size, but seeing as we are given a so-called infinite amount of storage space, that shouldn't pose a problem.Upload below 2mb.Storage space is the total amount of disk space I allow you to have to contain your art collection. In this case, you have unlimited storage. Generous, I know. It is not representative of a server limitation of a maximum size of around 2mb per individual file.

ZephyrBlue Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've also tried uploading files that were below 1 megabyte, and the same problem occurred... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Try converting your images to no bigger than 1024x768 (Or equivalent) Jpgs of low compression. The board will automatically resize images if they are too large. Typically, metadata in an image may cause problems as well. Try converting your image to a BMP then save it as a Jpg or PNG and try re-uploading. Remember that this is a gallery of art you want to show of your character or characters you have drawn, not an imagedump archive. Vectors aren't usually a good idea to upload here, those are better to upload somewhere else and then link to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBlue Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 It doesn't matter what image I try to upload, nothing seems to be working. If it helps, I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8., and am using Firefox v.7.0.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZephyrBlue Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've tried uploading .jpg, .png, and .bmp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Difficult for us to diagnose.Seem to be a steady stream of images going up daily without problems.It may help if you showed us the images so one of us can check them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBlue Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 This was the main picture I was hoping to upload, but there were a few others I was hoping to get up as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Were you attempting to upload this image to the Gallery? I created a test album to see if I could upload the image, and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXwildstyleXx Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm a bit confused about uploading pictures in general...I switched to the mobile site and I'm not sure how to do it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 The gallery is something that you will see on the Whisper version of the site. The mobile version is mostly just for content and mobility of the site, and many advanced features will not be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXwildstyleXx Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Is there any way I can switch back? I liked the normal version better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Is there any way I can switch back? I liked the normal version better...Look at the bottom of the page, you will see a link that says "Change Theme", clicking on it will open a drop down box, click on the theme you want in the drop down box.

ZephyrBlue Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yes, I saw that before you deleted it. I still seem to be experiencing the same problem, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yes, I saw that before you deleted it. I still seem to be experiencing the same problem, though.What specifically is causing you issue? Could you give a description of the steps you took to upload. In order to help you I need to know more details. Also have links to the pics you wanted to upload so I can test with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrBlue Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I took a screenshot of the anomaly, if that helps...After the upload bar reaches full, it goes into a permanent pending state, and quite literally nothing happens.

brianblackberry Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 As in do you have it perhaps uploaded somewhere else, so I can download any of the images you struggle with and try a few things, to see if I can repeat your issue. Also do you have any sort of script blocker running that may be preventing all the features from running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
