[jockeyeba]

I see this thread hasn't been used since Aug. 31st but I'm still having the same problems as before: I can't upload pictures from my computer for the last several months now, even though I had no trouble when I started posting on BYC, I still get "error uploading images" when I go to my Mac computer pictures & click on one

Hello kstaven Love the goats I have a 2003 mac mini OSX 10.4.11 I use Safari.......when I joined BYC I had no trouble posting pictures directly from my computer, then a couple of months ago suddenly I started getting the "error........" message instead of the picture posting. Going through photobucket or flickr is a pain , it takes twice as much time

My G4 is on osx 4.11 also using safari. Have you updated Java lately? Mine was quirky with the new site until I did.

I think this new format is not compatible with the IPad. I can't even update my profile and most of the buttons aren't visible.

If your operating system is up to date it is.

One more thing. The system may be shooting you over to mobile format which limits some features. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click desktop.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. Here are some things to do to possibly resolve your problem:

1. Try resetting your computer. Turn it off, wait 2 minutes, turn it back on.
2. Clear your internet browser's cache / history of files. It's easy to do and almost as important as taking out the trash at home! See instructions here and here.
3. Determine if the problem is because of your browser and/or plugins and extensions. Download a free version of either Google Chrome or Firefox and see if the thing that was broken now works.
4. If you're still having problems, continue to the steps below:

If after following those steps, here are a few questions that will help us find, duplicate, and hopefully resolve the problem you are having. Go through these questions and reply with all the details of your problem:

• Describe your problem in as much detail as possible!
• What is the URL of the page that you had problems?
• Did you receive any error messages? If yes, what were they? (please copy and paste the entire message, screenshots are best)
• What were the exact steps you took before having the problem? Please be as specific as possible so we can reproduce exactly what you did. Go step by step, provide links, details, clicks, etc.
• How long has the problem been happening? When did it start? If only one time, what day and time did it happen?
• VERY IMPORTANT: Which browser and version are you using (eg., Firefox 3.5.9, Internet Explorer 7, etc.)
• Have you tried disabling all your browser plugins and/or extensions? (Some of these conflict with website features and tools)
• Have you deleted your internet cache / browser history of files and tried again?
• VERY IMPORTANT: Have you tried a different browser (we suggest Google Chrome or Firefox)?

How do I upload an MPG movie file from my computer? Do I have to convert to youtube or something else, and if so, how is that done?
