Photo Uploading

Post by Goddess »

My mission for today is to upload a few piccies of Rosetta.
So I've opened my album, got to the upload box thingy, browsed for the picture .... but then I'm not sure if the link appears in the box because I can't see it. If I get really close up to the screen with my left eyeball, it's possible that the link is there but written in a colour almost the same as the background - so I'm not sure until it actually opens if that was the picture I meant or not.

Is this a just me problem? :?

And something else!

The cheeky thing just spat this message out at me!

"Your uploaded file is too large or corrupted"

So can we have the idiot guide to squishing photos down a tad!

And another thing, while I'm at it!

I found the photo resize tool - but the browse for picture has the same problem as my first box - they Grey box that I'm not sure if there is text in it or not.

Sure I'll be back again in a minute with something else!

Ignore most of the above! (Apart from the grey writing in the grey box in the browse bar!) Sorted myself out, successfully squished my photos, and uploaded a few, decided I'm on a roll and need no help!

Likewise Hepzi, when I tried it I had clear white text on the spruce geeen background so it was very clear.
I bet Goddess has been fiddling again or her monitor is on the blink :lol:

Seriously - it was grey on grey! Honest Gov!

It's moments like this I wish I'd paid attention when whoever it was described how to do a screenshot a few months back to show what I mean!

If you click the resize image thingy over there on the floaty menu on the left another page pops up - have a peep and see if the space to put the file location is grey - When I do it and press the browse button and enter the file name - it goes back to this screen - and the file name seems to be written in grey inside the grey box - so I can't see the name at all.

(And I have a GREEN background not a geeen one like BB over there! :mrgreen: )

Goddess, Just press your 'PrtSc/SysRq' button next to 'Scroll Lock' it will now be on your clipboard. Open your paint or photo program, right click your mouse and 'Paste' into your application. By the way I get all sorts of weird screens on this forum, I often get a white box when posting and sometimes the print is black against a green background, barely readable :(

I was about to say, "but where's my clipboard" - we'll just gloss over that bit shall we?!

Note to self: play with print screen button tomorrow - got to go, home delivery en route!

Just tested the resize and it was ok for me, try again Goddess maybe all the script did not load, ive noticed over the past week or so on the forums and other websites that all the graphics and other stuff do not load up properly all the time, i think its due to this internet problem.

:oops:
[face=Comic Sans MS]If it's any consolation I had exactly the same question when I tried it recently. Worked it out - eventually! :roll:

Meanwhile back to the Green & Grey - when I use the Extras menu slide bar to resize as requested I get a green page not grey. [/face] :)

Stand back in amazement, people!

Goddess has solved yet another mystery!

Since DJK said it was fine (and his word is law!) I sat and opened it, and left it for a while to finish loading and no advancement on the situation so I decided it must be me ... or rather it must be Mozilla! So I just opened up the resize page in IE - and no grey box!

Glad I solved all my mysteries by myself! :P

Goddess, your 'clipboard' is just another one of Windows great mysteries :lol: it just sort of 'exists' but it is there. Anything that you right click and copy, goes to the 'clipboard' and whenever you right click and paste, it loads the contents of the clipboard into that particular application. :)

Humph! :roll:

Think we should rename this bit too - to "Goddess solves it all" (and knows it all too)

If you have 2 spare minutes could you fix the grey box in the photo uploading bit too, just for me?? Go on! You know you want too! :D

Just digging this one out and back to the top Keefy.
I use Firefox and just checked out the picture resize and Goddess is absolutely right (of course!). The file name text is not shown in the grey window. Had you forgotten this?
