Image Test

[Tim Leach]

This should be a good test of the limits of the image uploading.

I can't images they get much bigger then this (click for fullsize)

Tim, I am trying to upload a 600x800 .jpg image, 76KB in size, won't take it..
Gives the following error message..

Safari can’t open the page “http://forum.prevostownersgroup.com/...nageattach&p=” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later.


Which is the same message it always gave when the file was too big.. or otherwise out of bounds.

Also now the file attachment manager does not list the size limits for jpg ?

[Tim Leach]

I updated the file manager to not impose any limits on the jpg upload. Please email me the image you are trying to upload. tim@geekteam.com

With an error like the one you named:
"...because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy."
I am suspicious that it may not actually be the forum limitations causing your issue, but possibly your connection to the internet.

Ok Tim, on the way.

TIM, FYI this has been a problem for many of us for a long time, even though posted limits were never exceeded. I wonder sometimes if it's due to the actual image, but that seems a bit unlikely. Resizing it to 600 or less on the largest side always works.

Occasionally I've been able to load bigger pictures, but not always.

testing the image posting.

I think I found the answer. It appears the problem posting images comes when the forum tries to make a thumbnail of the image for the post.

It looks like images, like the Junenight one that I've been experimenting with has an image encoding that the thumbnail creator can't read. So when trying to shrink it a blank page shows up without the image being completely uploaded to the post.

Turning off the thumbnail creation fixes this, as the forum no longer cares about the encoding. Though the thumbnails in the posts are lost by doing this, so there are no previews of uploaded images.

Tim,

I am unable to upload images. I am getting "a blank page shows up without the image being completely uploaded to the post"

Is there a setting I need to change on my end?

I just tried reducing the size to 600x450 and that worked. So I am unable to load larger images.

I normally have no problem uploading pictures, because I usually make them rather small to begin with if I plan to upload anywhere to the internet. I made some the other day and forgot I had my camera set to "Fine" and "Large". Couldn't upload to the forum until I reduced the size.
