Help uploading pics

Hello everyone. I have been trying to upload photos for a week now with no luck. I’ve had no issues before this. It keeps telling me their is an issue with the destination/ swaylocks. I’ve tried on 5 different computers using different servers, google chrome, Firefox, opera mini, bing and one other I cannot remember. I keep getting the same report over and over. Driving me crazy. Anyone else having issues? Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards, Mitch

 

 

Mitch, just set up an account at Photbucket or any other image hosting site. You can copy the image location at Photobucket by highlighting the image, a dropdown comes down, one of the options is "copy image location." Click on that, and paste into the post you want the image in and you've got a photo posted. Preview the post to make sure you like the way it looks.

Excellent!! Sounds easy enough. Thank you very much surfthis. I appreciate that. 

i have only had luck by attatching pics from my computer. the loading bar never stops loading but if i hit preview post, it will show teh pics in text form. If I see them there, then when I post the pictures do appear. pain in the butt though.

I can’t use Contact for Swaylocks or even see my pictures. It shows them being there, but no picture. Nor can I upoload. Same issue as the person who started the post.

I had some weird stuff going on too, i was getting a ‘‘comment field required’’ denial of post. I checked my ‘‘input format’’, it had somehow defaulted to advanced editor. Click it back on simple editor and things seem to be better. i’ll put a pic in just to be sure…

The photobucket idea worked, thanks again surfthis. I have not had any issues like this until about a week ago. Here’s what it’s telling me: 

  • The selected file /var/www/vhosts/swaylocks.com/httpdocs/temp/tmp_joJEqF could not be uploaded, because the destination is not properly configured.
  • You must upload an image.
Not sure how to fix this. 
MikeD- Sorry to be a pain, where do you check the input? Thanks

I think the site’s a little hinky, there’s been lots of crashes and outages lately. The ‘‘input format’’ is something I see (in IE or Chrome) just under the comment box. It’s still defaulting to ‘‘advanced editor’’ and I had to hit the dropdown and change to ‘‘simple’’ to post this!

Yeah I wish I would have known that a week ago…lol. Guess I should have asked a week ago. Live and learn. 

Kind regards, Mitch

I did notice another thread or two about glitches. Kinda thought it was the site, but then I kept seeing other people posting pics and thought what the hell. Anyway I will check the input format though. So you must have to check that often if you had to do it just to post a comment, crazy computers. Thanks for all your help, Mitch

Pico- I did notice one time it came up in text I guess, a bunch of technical crap. I stopped there though, figured it didn’t work. Thanks

solosurfer- just use photobucket. It will save you a bunch of aggravation. 

This comment was posted awhile back, but its just as valid today as when it was posted…
