Uploading Photos

The only suggestion that I have is to try a different compression ratio when you are saving it before the upload.

When I get one that for some unknown reason does not want to upload, I change the compression ratio and then it will upload fine.

I'll give that a try but it's odd that for 3 years I've done the exact same thing and all of a sudden photo upload is broken...

I think it's the gravitational attraction to Neowise sucking the pixels out into space... it's the only thing that makes sense to me. I am on satellite internet living out in the woods on a dead end dirt road off of a dirt road.

When I cut the quality down to 50% it goes straight to 100% then sits there for a minute before finally uploading so maybe a time out issue or not enough space dunno. I still think it's the comet.

When I am trying to upload a picture in a known not good wifi spot in my house the same thing happens as you mentioned.

Thanks @jthornton for the heads up.

I will tongue-n-cheek agree with you about the comets involvement. After all it started to show up a month or so ago inbound to the sun.

Not long after that, I too started to "outta the blue" have issue with pics failing to upload via my phone (primarily) using Android and Firefox. Always up to date as well.

I also had a long standing personal ethos of making my pics 800x600 for the longest time.... For all forums, and social media stuff.

I admit a little over 18+ months ago I started to try straight upload from my phone.... I would still use the crop feature for many pics from my phone or the desktop PC's (Win-X or my Linux boxes that I rarely get to play with any more).

The wierdness really ramped up the last few weeks when I would get the same as listed earlier in this thread:
Upload to 93-100% then it would dilly-dally for anywhere from ~10 seconds to a couple minutes before the page would have the box refresh and go "gray with a strike through" and a "cancel" button as the only option for that picture.

Several times I would give up and just click "send" on the update only to have the browser show a pop-up window with the text paraphrased = " pictures are still uploading you can't post yet."

I tried a few things like closing all my tabs.
No change.

I even did a close the browser and cold reboot the phone.

Then one time it happened on the desktop. Only once. I went in and "kill task" and did a full reboot of the desktop and it has yet to happen since there.

However, it's happened several more times on this phone.

Specifically on the 2 threads I have for a) our coop build & b) our silkies tagteam hatching a clutch of eggs.

So I guess I'll look at my phones camera settings to see if I can tweak the pixel default settings for saving.....

Or I guess I'll just have to plug the USB cord into the PC from this phone and straight download them to shrink the pics in the desktop at a much more excelerated rate???

I don't use wifi all my PC's are on the LAN with CAT6 cables but then they have to go to orbit from there...

Not sure why this is marked Solved as it is not solved at all I still can't upload a standard size photo only a tiny one.

My bad...I thought it was solved because you uploaded a photo.
