Uploading pictures not working?

Discussion in 'Questions & Suggestions' started by 56 ford custom, May 21, 2012.

  1. I have tried countless times trying to upload pictures from thehamb and it always says failed. Is anyone else here having the same problem? I am using my phone to do so...same problem with my computer. So I would usually use tinypic or photobucket on my computer. Well these wont work on my phone due to the size. So what can be done? Any help will will be appreciated. Thanks
     
  2. What message are you getting?
     
  3. It just says your upload failed

    It means your file size is too large.

    how many kilobytes is the picture? If it's more than 488.3 KB, it is too large, and needs to be resized smaller.

    Upload your photos into photobucket.com (create a free account if not already done so.) Once photo is uploaded there, scroll over that pic and an edit option will appear. Once it opens your image in the editing window, click on the adjust button and then on the re-size option. Make the width of your image 640 and the height will auto adjust itself accordingly. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SAVE AS COPY and rename. Go back to your album and erase the original. Now scroll over the image again and just click the URL next to "Direct Link". When posting to the HAMB simply click on the add image button and replace with your link. This whole process takes less than a minute once you get the hang of it. Good luck!

  12. How exactly does that work?

    Go to "upload" select the picture... Once it gets uploaded, hit menu and "view links", then copy the IMG one...

    go in to the app... select whatever pic you want to post

    hit your menu button
    [​IMG]


    hit "view links"
    [​IMG]

    it says "tap to copy", so... tap the IMG link
    [​IMG]

    now the IMG link is copied... just post up like you normally would, long press where you want to paste it, and select paste... should drop the link... if you're still having issues, I'd make a friend, email them my pics, and have them do it, or stick to angry birds because it you don't need a smartphone if you can't figure it out
     
  18. Thanks kevo!I just hope the pics dont show up all huge. The angry birds thing was pretty funny.

    Are you posting/uploading from your phone? Sounds like you can post fine, but the size is jacked... Try clarifying the issue you're having before getting your drawers in a bunch... The app I use to post/browse the forum lets you upload an attachment straight from your gallery or camera... If the Photobucket route doesn't work, check out Tapatalk forum browser

    Sorry if i sounded trite!been having a ball with ebay also,makes for a full day.when it seems nothin is going your way, thank you for the reply, and no i have no'telephone that takes pictures or sends picture etc. I try to send a picture from mu photobucket as small as a postage stamp, i tried all the different addresses on the side of the picture, all that ever comes thru is an the address links. ...look at my albums and see how many i sent,that didn't take. or appear.

    It isn't that important ,should you not be able to help. btw i use the browse slot when i get my pictures from"my documents"list of pics/this always takes pictures to wherever i send them.Trouble there is i don't have any recent pictures in ...."my documents" also where is tapatalk 2 at? bob /elvis2

    if you upload the picture to photobucket, the links will show up... just click on the one with [IMG.]< No dot [/IMG] on both ends of it, then paste it to whichever thread you want to post it to... once you post that, the pic will show up... it's blocked on my network here at work, or I could give you a walk-through
