ROUND 2 of new Photo System Testing - Please Help if You Can

Unimatic1140 · May 27, 2014

For the small minority of users who are having problems uploading pictures using the new Add Photos Here box I've added back the old jpeg photo upload old system until I get all the details ironed out. If you look down below the add photos here box you should see "If the new photo upload box does not work with your browser you can use the original photo system:" and the old button to select one file.

For you guys on really old systems will not be able to see the new photos properly. I don't have any way of supporting these older systems before windows XP. Even my XP computer that I use for testing is on its last legs and wont last much longer. Also Java-script is a requirement to view and upload pictures with the new system.

Found a sort of glitch on the new photo system.

I sometimes save pictorial threads on repair procedures using the browser's File / Save Page As / Web Page Complete function for ease of referring to it later without searching through the archives or managing a bunch of bookmarks.

The new photo system prevents all the pics from saving on multi-pic posts in the thread, only the first picture in the group is saved.

Thank you Glenn, not really a glitch per se, but the way it was designed. The advantage is that the pictures are not downloaded until the reader clicks and calls for the picture. This makes for much faster downloads as you read the page. I just tried the save as html page feature on a facebook page with multiple pictures and it does the exact same thing on facebook, only downloading the first picture.

While not ideal for saving the entire HTML page all at once, it works much better for the average reader.

Pretty sweet!

I started using Fire Fox as my browser about a month ago. My PC is Windows Vista (don't hate on me

). I never could get the hang of the new photo upload on IE, but this appears to be working. I think my issue was user error and an older version of IE. A few random shots--shower rebuild, vacation shot and deck shot.

Thanks,
Mitch
