    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Message that pops up after every upload attempt, even one at a time.

"Your attachment request has reached our server without any data so we could not process it. Please try to send it again! If you are sending multiple attachements at once, uploading them one by one might help. It can also help to clear your browser's cache.

If you keep getting this error even after you cleared your browser's cache, please try to use a different browser to upload/handle attachements."
 
I've seen some of those pictures you have been posting, I think the server is jealous.

I can upload from chrome.

I've been using Chrome lately as well on my desktops and laptops, and haven't had any problems uploading. If you are using a mobile device, sorry, you may be on your own with that. I don't do internet posting or browsing with my "smart" phone.

I have had error messages when trying to upload four at once since the migration, but I can often do two at a time and always one at a time. I browse, select/open, hit the upload soft key, and then repeat the process for each photo as needed. Works on mobile Chrome on Android/Cyanogenmod and on desktop Firefox on Windows.

Always uploaded the same way from camera pics. Apparently there is an issue with these 2 current pic files. Love the ignore button.
 
Did you determine that you were continually trying to upload the same pic files, and those files were causing the problem?

Files do get corrupted sometimes. And although a device will say that it outputs files in a particular format, doesn't mean that the "format" is to spec and will be compatible with everything.

So are you still using the same camera device that you used before?

As far as this site is concerned, I will say that the new data center this site is now located in is VERY security conscious. So it's entirely possible that if a file looks even slightly suspect, the security routines on my server will reject it. Not saying that is the case here, but heck, I got locked out of my own server when I was doing testing and the security safeguards thought my actions were suspicious.

FYI, one way that hackers will gain access to a server is by triggering error conditions with file transfers. So it's quite likely the server guys set up my server with that in mind.

Nothing has changed on my end. Snap a pic and upload. Just an issue with two recent pics. Uploaded to FB with zero issues, with any device. Tried an earlier pic and it went,so I saved them from FB,and they uploaded that way.

I would suggest snapping a few more pics and trying them. If you still have problems, see if you can try another camera to test out. The idea is to try to isolate exactly what the problem is.
