Is it just me, my computer, or my server??

Or do other people have trouble loading photos unless it's the middle of the night?

It's noon right now, and I just locked up and had to get off and back online and re-type that mimosa seed message four times before I got it up with pictures.

Every once in awhile it happens to me.
I do not know the reason, me or GG.
When/if it starts to act up I post the text
and then use the Edit button to add photo.
If it doesn't work right away I'll try again later.
This way the text is still there.

Some users type their text in Notepad (or any WP) before posting.

I'm new here, and I'm trying unsuccessfully to upload photos into an album.


It seems to take forever, and it still won't upload.

Is there a way to post pictures here from a photobucket acct?

Hi!

What format and size are the photos you are trying to upload.

Thanks

ooops I just wrote about this in another subject. I have been reducing the size of my pictures for a while now ...they upload real quick no matter what time it is.

Wasn't like that before, when the size of my pictures were larger (like 3000 kb or pixels(?) or something like that ), only at night they would upload a little bit faster than day time.

Just thought I should mention it here too.

EDIT: My new pictures are in the area of 600x400 "pixels". They still look big, upload fast to GG.

I too realized that my huge files had to be resized...now I've got no problems.

I, too have had problems adding photos (as in, they WON'T get added, from Photobucket, whether I use the URL or IMG code). How large ARE/WERE your photos? I noticed mine look HUGE lately, when I open them in Paint (I take them with A Kodak Easyshare. Think I should reduce the size? Thanks! Elektra

I would recommend reducing the size. A lot of members that had a difficult time adding photos reduced the size of the photo and the problem was resolved.

Hope this helps!
