    Hi I'm a new kid on the block. I seem to have trouble uploading photos. I will get one uploaded, and after that I keep getting the error uploading and please try again message. My photos are about 2 MB, are the files too big.

    Griz,

    I did some checking and we have uploaded 3 & 4MB photos in the past without difficulty although sometimes they may take a while.

    Hi Richard,
    I was still having problems this morning. I decided to re-size the images to 50% and have just now put uploaded two images without any problems. Bruilliant trader and Maritime Anita. I hope they are good enough for your site. They seem OK to me. I have quite a few others of ships that you have no photos of so far.
    Problem before was, yes it took a while, and then in the end it always came up, THERE WAS AN ERROR UPLOADING PLEASE TRY AGAIN. Do you need notifying about photos uploaded or does the server let you know anyway.

    The Griz is a nick name I've had for years, but now I have retired to a new area no ones knows me by that name. I am quite happy to be known as Griz.

    Is it not better to compress the photo's before uploading? I had the same problem at the start as Griz so, I compress the files before I upload them. They also appear quicker on screen when looking at a ship with photos attached.

    Best wishes

    Dave
