Dear Webmaster

Well Texas pete I think I figured it out,I think. here goes. BF

"Michael - Click on "upload files" in the upper left hand corner of the file chooser window and select the photo on your 'puter that you wish to upload. When the attachment is uploaded click finish, then click on "insert into post body" and select a size. It's purty easy. Here's my grand daughter."...Texas Pete

Sorry Texas Pete, I get no chance to do that.When I select UPLOAD ATTACHMENTS or ADD ATTACHMENTS the file chooser only gives me an option of CANCEL. I get no opportunity to browse, choose, or upload anything.

Like this...

Click on the image to make it larger.

I wish they would have made that little link a bit more prominent.

once the image is uploaded there is  green line which says success when it has uploaded,  under it there is a check box next to it is "Insert all photos and videos into post body (large size)"  check that and all images will be large 

How do you upload multiple photo's at once?

see if this helps:

1. Click on POST NEW TOPIC or POST REPLY (depending on where you are) and the editor will open then click on ADD ATTACHMENTS:

2.  Click on UPLOAD FILES on the File Choser dialog box:

3.  The select photo folder will open on your PC -- navigate through your PC folders to find the photo that you want and then click on OPEN on the bottom right of the window:

4.the file should then upload to the site -- you'll see a status bar like the one below:

5.  When the file is done uploading, click on the INSERT ALL PHOTOS AND VIDEOS INTO POST BODY and then click on FINISHED:

6. The photo should have been inserted into the editor and you can click SUBMIT REPLY when you are satisfied/done:

The green circle with the white + that says Upload Files does not appear on my screen when this window pops up after I select "Add Attachments".  It only says "You can upload photos, videso, audio and files. Please note that there is a file size limit of 25 MB (100 MB for videos)" I then have only a choice of Cancel or Finished, and the Finished bar is nonresponsive. I can ONLY choose Cancel or I am frozen with the pop up on the screen.

All of your directions are very clear (thank you). I have tried to describe my problem as accurately as I can.

Thanks all .. perfect instructions. 

Couldn't resist trying it out....

Easy, isn't it?

The instructions are straight forward, but it still stalls in the uploading phase for me.

I crawled through mud, snow and pouring rain to get here, just to try posting a photo or two.

I feel cheated! It's not fair!

aaron,

I'm just joking, but for some reason I cannot get a successful photo upload; and I don't have a glue why. I've been scanning some of the threads to see if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.

lowen

BTW, the instructions are not a problem. I have followed the instructions...

When I uploaded the pics it took about 5 minutes to get 7 pics up so it does take a minute to load.

It took 4 minutes to upload this.

I select a photo hit open, the appropriate information fills in the appropriate boxes, the status shows uploading...

And that's where my photo posting journey comes to a grinding halt.

I don't get the status success notification, and because the upload failed, I don't get the "insert all photos..." notification...

What can ya do, but make a joke.

You have me stumped Lowen.  I still think it's something in your Java. 

Guys,

After hearing that aaron's picture took about 4 minutes, I gave it another shot. I waited staring at the screen hoping that on previous tries I had not given it enough time. After 11 minutes of stressful waiting, I aborted the attempt and hit the cancel button.

I feel like I'm in a race and everyone else is off and running, and I am stuck at the starting line.

I haven't given up yet, though. Something might turn up that saves the day, and then I can take my place, as a certified picture poster, alongside you guys

What version of Firefox are you running?   Try installing the latest version of FF and set it up using all standard default settings and see what happens.

Are you behind a firewall or do you have some crazy security settings/software enabled?

I loaded Firefox 10.0 or a similar sounding designation, today. Rich supplied the link.

BTW, when I loaded Firefox I just clicked on the download symbol, and saved it when asked. I didn't adjust anything, just did those two steps.

Same thing when I loaded  JAVA, earlier today.

I probably tried uploading at least 5 different pictures, with no success.

lowen

aaron,

I don't recall seeing those, and I felt unsure after doing the load. I expected to see some kind of confirmation.

I remember seeing that green line moving to the right, when I clicked to save...

What exactly should I be seeing and doing when loading firefox and JAVA? I just click on the download designated area of the firefox page.

lowen

aaron,

I will go back and try that...clicking on run. I'm getting tired, probably try it tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your help.

Vid, thanks again.

I'm starting to think my OP is a lost cause. Sorry fellas!

I was in the 10% group that you couldn't contact via email.  Just wanted you to know I was able to log in first day, first try.

Thanks,

Bill

I'd check to make sure that you have the latest copy of Java installed as a starting point.

If an individual photo is 25 mgb, it doesn't mean you should do that, it means you can.

Photos still need to be resized to a smaller amount for quick uploading, especially if you are still on dial up. For instance, when I'm at home, and on dial up, a 25 mg upload would be  into hours! 1mg will be well into fifteen minutes.

Everyone who wishes to post photos should have some method of reducing the file sizes to make it even easier for them to upload pictures.

I think some of the problems folks might be having is not realizing how long it takes for some of the larger files to upload.

Thanks VidKidz, you have been a "go to" guy with this technology stuff. I am sure that there must be something wrong with my computer configuration.

Actually posting pictures to this forum is quite easy.

But somehow at first I figure a way to make it very difficult

Dial-up?  People still use dial-up?   You must have the patience of Job when reading threads with lots of pictures!

Thanks for the new forum. As usual for me I need to adapt myself for the better. And it is better.

So I am back at it, again.

I went into my programs listed and I have -  Java(TM)SE Runtime Environment 6, and Mozilla Firefox 10.0(x86en-us).

The Firefox 10.0 should be the most up-to-date version currently available, so it should be suitable for this picture posting business.

I'm not sure about the Java program, though? Would it be suitable for picture posting, here?

BTW, I checked for firewalls and the security system that I purchased, for my computer, told me that, it has superior protection in-place, re: firewall protection .

The computer security I purchased, claims it does the best job... so I am leaving it in charge.

BTW, When my computer was initially set up, I specified maximum protection from online threats. If that type of protection rules out some activities, i.e. posting pictures... then I'll have to live with that.

In conclusion: If my programs(Firefox and Java) are up to the job required here for posting pictures, then I'm assuming my computer security is preventing the picture uploading...
