Picture upload not working?

[Cvanderhoef]

I'm trying to list some auctions and my pictures won't upload. The screen goes faded/gray while uploading and after waiting 3-5 minutes it kicks me back to a half screen of my listings/members page. Anyone else experiencing this?

[GameGavel]

I am not seeing anyone else have these issues? Is it still not working? I just tried it and it's working for me - great and loading the pic very fast.

Just tried it and still not working.

[Cvanderhoef]

Only trying one picture.

[Cvanderhoef]

Just tried different picture and it worked. For some reason the picture I need, though, won't work.

[Cvanderhoef]

Any idea? I'd like to post some auctions. Thanks.

Not sure what to tell you? It seems like an isolated issue with that photo file. Can you save it as a different file and try again? What format it is?

[Cvanderhoef]

I'll try that. It's a JPG.

[Cvanderhoef]

Didn't work. It's messed up because I don't get an error or anything. Do pics have to be a certain spec? Could that be the problem.

Our system should resize the photos as needed so no need to worry about it on your end. And it should be a jpeg or gif file. There has to be some sort of issue with that file. Can you take a new picture of your item and start over? Noone else is having an issue so not likely that is our system. Sorry you are having problems. Let me know if you try a completely new picture of that item.

Sorry it's a JPEG not a JPG. I'll try taking the pic again. Thanks for you help.

Either of those extensions should work .jpg or .jpeg. I think it's a corrupted file for some reason. Can you start over and take a new pic of the item and upload it?

[Cvanderhoef]

Weird, the other picture I took doesn't work either. This is a new camera and I've never used this camera on here before. Strange... Anyways, I'll take a new pic and try again.

[Cvanderhoef]

Well, I retook the pic and that didn't work. I even deleted my pending listing and started a new one and that didn't work. Something with the type of camera I'm using? I have no clue. I don't get it.

Tried deleting all the cookies and reopening the browser, didn't work. Tried IE instead, didn't work. Perplexing!

Email me one of your photos and let me see if I have an issue adding it to one of my listings. socalmike@gamegavel.com

[Cvanderhoef]

Sent you an email with the pic. Thanks a lot.

Your pic came over something like 4500 pixels wide. lol. I think it is to big and maybe just taking forever for our system to upload it. Normally, it will resize pics within reason but that one is too darn big :) I think you need to either format your new camera for web pics or reduce it yourself in Paint or something. Try making it smaller and I think it will work just fine.

[Cvanderhoef]

Changed it to 2000 pixels wide and now it worked. Thanks a lot!

Been having trouble trying to host my own pictures, its always worked before but over the last few weeks It only works sometimes
when it does not work I use the GG hosting and it works fine ? I dont like to use up the site resources as I have more then enough
space on my own hosting site but it seems like all of a sudden I can only use it for some photes and not for others but again it always
works if I host them here on GG?

EDIT oh I have tried resizing to 750 wide and still does not work

EDIT AGAIN here is a link to a picture scan I cannot use when trying to use my own hosting

EDIT, EDIT, EDIT Just noticed the pictures are there when I use my own hosting but GG is not showing the thumbnail in the auction unless
I use the GG Hosting ? here is an example of a auction I just listed using my own picture hosting notice three blank thumbnails but if you
click on any of them they will show up in the auction discription, I can get alll the thumbnails if I use the GG hosting
