Uploading photo questions

[T. Cotten]

Folks,

I used to be able to upload photos to the forum from my wife's VISTA laptop, after jumping through many hoops, but now the attachment manager just sits and spins endlessly on the 'upload' hoop.

Did an update of Explorer ruin it for me?

Thanks in advance,

....Cotten

Mr. C:

Are you using the advanced upload system (and the "Manage Attachments" button) or have you been able to upload photos through the quick reply box?

Mr. W!

Sorry for the late reply,
but my daytime shop PC hasn't been able to respond ever since the last forum update.

After all, nobody using a PC should have respect for anything obsolete, no matter what the subject matter, huh.
The 'quick reply' box never offered attachments in the format I view.
"Manage Attachments" worked fine, with a dozen or more hoops to click on, until now.

My wife's choice to update the Explorer seems to be the most likely gliche.

I learned to never update any machine over four years old many years ago.
Left unmolested, they usually do fine.

Just like other obsolete machines,

Mr. C:

I've been trying to reproduce this problem with other machines, and I can't get it to happen. Is anybody else having a problem with an upgrade to IE?

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but Firefox seems to handle all this pretty well and it's free at http://www.mozilla.com

Mr. W!

I broke out a faithful old Compaq just so I could upload by dial-up.
Not sure whether my wife would tolerate a new browser on her precious laptop or not!

Cotten!!!

I have Vista and while I don't like it as much as the former version I can manage to manage attachements! It may just be dumb luck however!

If you upload your pictures to photobucket then paste the photobucket IMG Code here this is what you will see.

I just wanted to see if I had the same trouble as Cotten with the "managing attachements" scenario. Photobucket has been my preferred method for a few years now but I understand that some folks don't want to go that route. If you have exhausted all avenues Cotten and want something posted, feel free to send it my way and I'll get it on the forum for ya!

Folks,

External photohosting really sux when you search an old thread and find: (attached)

PS: The vista machine will also no longer "drag" my previously loaded photos into the attachment box.
