Picture submission not working?
« on: July 03, 2007, 12:29:59 PM »
I'm trying to upload an image to the gallery, but after submitting it I just get a blank white page. I have tried in Safari, iBrowse and IE6. Anyone else having problems?

(Generally) That's usually a sign that the picture you're uploading is too big (in K or MBs) for the servers request length...

The picture is a 1024x768 jpg at 285,977 bytes in size. Normally if it is too big I get an error saying it is too large and then it takes me back to the submission form. The images in the gallery are all jpgs. I saved it from Photoshop, which adds a preview icon and some other info. Reckon I should try a plain jpg without any of this?

Try using the save for web option (Imageready) and ensure that it isn't specially optimized.  In Photoshop Elements I have had issues when saving JPEGs in the normal way which were solved by using save for web.

I just installed jpeg.library and re-grabbed the image directly to a JPG. Same problem when I tried to submit it :-(

I just tried submitting an image.  I had the same problem.  Although it accepted a GIF version without problems.

Aren't GIFs limited to 256 colours?

Yes.  I had to reduce the colours down to 64 to make the image fit in the maximum size.  Looks like there is a problemn with JPG submission rather than it being your particular image.

Thanks Andy. I think I'll wait until the problem has been solved rather than dither my screenshot down to 256 colours.

I know for a fact I have uploaded JPGs before, since my screenshots were all JPGs. Wayne, if you read this is there anything you can do to help?
