Photo insert problems

It took me about 20 tries to upload birthday greetings until I finally found one that would upload. I haven’t I clue what the problem is as they upload in a split second anywhere else.

Well that seems to work but it took 45 seconds for me to see your photo. Something is definitely wrong with my phone lately but I don’t know what.
Thank you. I’ve never added a photo like that before. 😁❤️

I use to have no problems posting pics here at all but over the last few weeks my picture posting has gotten horrible. I could post pictures as long as they weren’t my own photos. Then I found if I seriously cropped them, I could upload them. Now I can’t upload any photos at all. The uploading is so staggered that I get a message saying my uploading was incomplete even when it finally makes it to 100%.

I have no problems uploading photos at any other site. Just this one.

Is anyone else having problems posting pictures lately?

I have had the same thing happen with my own photos from my phone. But I can post them if I go to www.lunapic.com and scale them down some and save them and then come back here and post them.

I don't have problems with most gifs or jpgs I get on the net, though, unless they are png and then I go to a web hosting site and upload and then come back and post the BB Url. I go to www.imgur.com to post those ones.
 
So let's analyze. It's the uploading that is the problem?

Although the forum is supposed to resize any photo for you it's best to edit, crop, resize before you post. And there are times whe uploading takes forever or fails. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the Internet connection.

I don't think so in my case at least, I have a good internet connection.
 
Normally I resize everything before I post but I never had to before. I never had issues with posting pictures before. Now I’m always having issues especially if they are my own picture however the other day I couldn’t even see other people’s photos. They were taking that long to download.
Later in the day I had no problems uploading or downloading anything so it probably had more to do with the internet connection than anything.
Thank you for your help.

Ah but. There's always a but. Sometimes you get an error message saying it wasn't completed even though it reached 100% on the upload. It happens to me. And I try again and it loads. This leads me to conclude there was a glitch of some sort during the upload. Internet connections are not continuous. This is my own opinion. I can check my internet connection with an app. Sometimes it's fast and sometimes it's slow depending on traffic. And sometimes a reset can put everything back to default. More on that later if anyone wishes. People with a fast internet connection have less problems with uploads which are much slower than downloads.
 
By the way it's easy to check your internet connection to see if you are getting what you pay for.

Google. Ask.
Test internet connection. It will give upload and download speeds. This might not be available to everyone. It's new.
 
This is to Keesha about her problem loading photos. I just joined here and haven't tried to upload anything but I have a suggestion. You say you have the most difficulties with your own photos. Could this be something as simple as that they might be generally larger files than photos you get from elsewhere? If so, a solution might be to reduce the resolution of your own photos to make them into smaller files or to reduce the automatic resolution of your camera. Just guessing here..

The forum software is supposed to reduce oversized photos so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm guessing half or more of the problems come from the Internet connection. The slower the connection, the more problems. I always reduce the size before posting and I still get problems with the upload because I have a slow connection. I only get what I paid for. Welcome to the forum and thanks for contributing.
 
I had problems all day yesterday trying to upload a photo. Kept telling me it wasn't completed even though it had reached 100%. I checked my internet connection and the upload was very slow compared to normal. I tried later and it worked. The forum won't take a .png image. You have to convert it to .jpg. or another compatible format. Save the .png image by saving it as "save as with the name to a .jpg file. I always save mine to the desktop. It's easier to find when uploading.
