Issues with uploading/missing photos

Is anyone else having issues with uploading photos?

I tried uploading a few photos several times last night, they would either show very briefly and disappear, or I would get some kind of too large for sever message.

I also tried to upload the same photos from work and had the same issue.

I am also having issue with photos I have uploaded "disappearing and only seeing IMG where the photo should be.

However, after going to edit post and but not making any changes but hitting save changes the photos reappear.

This happened both on my home laptop and at work.

Missing photos with IMG message


After going to Edit and saving changes

 

I saw the other replies but no, either right off my camera or by using the snipping tool.

 

Hello,
Yes, the problem existed. But there is always a way to get around "size" in posting to any website. Reduce the size of your own photos or quit copying other posted photos in the largest possible "copy" you can get. Copy, then paste on to something like Microsoft Word to see how large the copied photo is as printed. Then make a smaller version of the same copy.

Here is one part of the story from a reply to @49ratfink with his problem yesterday. It was an easy fix on my own laptop within a few minutes of adjustments. The good thing is, now there is more space on my hard drive as the saved photos are slightly smaller and taking up less space. But, when I open those adjusted photos, they are large and are digitally ok to print, if I need to print them. YRMV

Hello,

(These are not customs per se as per the topic originally listed, but as the thread goes to the next page, one may come across the same thing that @49ratfink had happen to his post. The changing of the latest digital cameras and Phone cameras has added a new thing to posting photos, as too large for the page.)

The days of the 5 mp phone cameras or digital cameras is long gone. The industry has upped its game and now it is common to see 12 mp on the average and up to 20 mp for middle of the road cameras. But, the high end cameras can go up to unheard of amounts. The larger MP allows larger digital prints without much loss of detail. Still, one needs to take into account the image, compose the photo for a concise detailed image and not have a hot rod in the middle of a row of trees in order to get the whole scene.

The hot rod will not come out clear if that composition is the main emphasis. If the hot rod is larger and the surrounding crapola is minimized, then the enlargement for the hot rod should be clear. With a stable platform when taking the shot, tripod or mono pod, focus, and good clear sunlight, all work to make a good photo.

Yes, with our new digital cameras and even the Iphone set at 24 MP, the photos will come out clear, most of the time. ( See above restrictions and helpers)

So, the resulting majority of photos saved on your own laptop or desktop computers takes up a lot of space. When printing, it gets squeezed down to the size needed. But as one posts the largest overall photo from the Apple Iphones, it will be large as a standard. Now, one has to take the photo and reduce the overall size.

Open your photo in the standard photo program. Find the RESIZE section. Open that up and now you will see the size it is in currently.

If the HAMB image says it is too large, then when you are on this site, reduce the width and height of the original photo. As you change one side, it automatically changes the other to keep the proportions.


Now, you can copy the altered image and paste it to the HAMB thread. If it is still too large, then follow the same steps and make the width x height smaller yet.

Yesterday, I had to change several photos from the storylines on other posts to make them fit into the final HAMB threads. YRMV

Today, I followed my own advice and made each one smaller in size, but yet, they showed up almost full size. Once the saved photo from your files is adjusted, then it easily is pasted within the printed story line.
