Well, I have some nice digital pics from my trips to Pico and Killington today, but for some reason everytime I upload them, the server doesn't accept them and I get kicked onto the forum home page. What's going on?

What's the file format (jpg?) and how large are the files?

The gallery will resize the longest side to 1024 pixels anyway so resizing them to that dimension beforehand is best.

OK. What is the largest file size though? That seems to be the real problem...not the width and height.

Well, they go hand in hand to some extent. By resizing down to 1024 pixels for the long side, the file size should definitely be small enough. I think 16 MB is the max file size upload which is probably larger than any of your images. Perhaps, it's choking when it tries to resize; that's my point. If all else fails, Email me some and I'll see if I can upload them.

OK. Got that fixed, but I can only upload one pic at a time :blink: are they still too big I guess? I'd like to do five or six like I used to be able to....

TB....How many megs is your camera? It sounds like the pixel dimensions are ok but maybe the file size, measured by MBs, is the problem. Are you using a graphic/image program to compress your pics or are you uploading the pic the same size it comes from the camera?

Yes, I think that is the problem. Sizes are about 2.0 MB, and others are like 187 KB.

vBulletin may have been having it's PHP scripts timeout during upload. When that occurs, it's default error page get's remapped by vBulletin sometimes back to the main page. :) Explains why one at a time they'd work fine.

Just a guess.

Yes, it does seem as if they time out. It is annoying...just means less pics are going to go to AZ. :(

Meh. Re-encode them as JPG's. Will transfer much faster, and can be much smaller with minimal loss of quality.

It's the web server, say's. 'You took too long, killing it to prevent stale crap from hogging down the web server'.
