I delete photos daily and add new ones so I guess net/net no additions!!
We have been down this road twice lately....1st time Drew said an update they did caused the problem.....second time it just started working and neither Todd nor I know why.......SPOOKY!!
It is quite frustrating when I spend a LOT of time daily for folks to see our local Sunrises and it doesn't work!!
Hope it is fixed soon!!

Last time I could use IE to upload photos and publish with Chrome but now neither of them work......and Flash is enabled in both!!
Hope this gives you some ideas??

Still cannot highlight all photos in my folder to upload....."Ctrl-A" used to highlight them all and then I clicked "Open" to upload them all to "File Manager" in about 3-5 minutes!!
Hope y'all can fix this again Drew?

The development team is currently working on a non flash alternative for this issue. That should resolve it once and for all. I will keep looking for other possibilities, but we didn't change anything since it had been working, so I need to get back to it.

In the short term, you could resize the images before uploading. Make the images smaller, that will reduce the upload time. I am sorry.

I realize that most folks have businesses and probably don't upload multiple photos daily like I do.......mine is strictly a HOBBY website that has become very frustrating over the years.......many problems in the past!!
I realize you guys are dealing with problems I probably wouldn't understand and sincerely hope you find a workaround soon........
I'm gonna keep postin' so they don't close this conversation down like has happened before due to inactivity!!
Thanks again for all your help Drew and I hope for a speedy resolution!!

Just a thought given that the ability to batch upload in Homestead certainly won't happen soonish.

What is your site address?
-
2,932 Points
It's CoosawjackPhotography.com and strictly a HOBBY site so I may just fold the whole thing up or find another company that can accommodate me.....trouble is uploading 1000 photos is very time consuming!!
I really hope you guys can come up with a fix!! I could load daily photos one at a time but 2-3 minutes per photo is just nuts!! Is there a way to speed it up??

Photos are 100-300 KB....some may be a bit larger but I resize them so they look descent when opened on the website!!

My 2 hour uploads went to 10 minutes so I have left it alone but would be glad to change if it wouldn't screw anything up......KINDA GUN SHY right now and ready to close it all down if we cannot fix it....this is JUST A HOBBY and it has become a NIGHTMARE!!
I email my Sunrise photos daily to around 300 folks all over the world and GOOGLE shut me down as a SPAMMER so I had to go to a commercial company to host my stuff.......kinda sad when ya try to show people how BEAUTIFUL the world can be.......GOOGLE is not my friend and they don't care either so I moved on!!
Off the soapbox and hope y'all understand how I feel!!??

After 3 tries yesterday and NO PHOTOS uploaded to File Manager I tried again today and would ya believe the dang photos were ALL THERE TODAY when I opened File Manager......What next??

What the heck is going on here Drew??

2,932 Points

Over the weekend I decided to try normal Chrome and it actually allowed me to highlight all photos to upload so I tried and got the error message THREE TIMES with no apparent uploaded photos so I closed it out and re-opened SiteBuilder!! When I checked File Manager ALL THE PHOTO WERE THERE!!

I attempted to Publish and after THREE ATTEMPTS I got a mess......see this attachment!!
Although I deleted all the previous photos from the File Manager they were still on the page under the NEW PHOTOS!!!

This morning I tried again and got the same error message after one attempt to upload 18 photos so I closed SiteBuilder and reopened to find 16 photos had up loaded so I began installing them one at a time to the page to publish and it was about normal with at least two freezes and then the really weird thing was when I got to photo #15 ALL OF A SUDDEN photos #17 & #18 MAGICALLY showed up!!

I added all 18 photos to the page to publish and after about 15 minutes it published this mess......today's photos ON TOP OF YESTERDAY'S PHOTOS!!

Why are the previous photos still there but not in File Manager and why do I get the "Upload ERROR" but then find some or all photos have actually uploaded after I close SiteBuilder and re-open it?????
I hope this chronology of events helps y'all figger this INSANITY out Drew??

Today I turned off all Ad Blockers to see if that was a problem and uploaded 13 photos....after 5 minutes got the ERROR message and it looked like no photos uploaded!! Instead of closing and re-opening SiteBuilder I went ahead and tried inserting photos........guess what.......THEY WERE THERE in File Manager but if I opened File Manager they weren't showing to be there.......CRAZY!! Don't think the Blockers make any difference??
Now......after 2 attempts at Publishing it finally Published but the 13 photos from today were superimposed over the 18 photos from yesterday!!

Go to my "Today's Sunrise" tab and you can enlarge the top 13 photos fine but yesterday's photos underneath have become part of the background and will not enlarge......wonder why they are not being deleted Drew??

The photos from 10-1-17 are gone so it is deleting photos from 2 days back but not yesterday's photos.......I hope this gives y'all some insight??
We ARE gaining on it!!

Jack

2,932 Points
When I deleted the photos daily the box that surround them was still there thus the superimposed photos over the previous day......figgered that out today by myself !!

Now if we can fix the error message and not showing the uploaded photos in File Manager we'll be back in BIDNESS Drew!!
BTW.....when I first added photos to the Gallery only about half were there but as I added more......one at a time......all were actually there just showing up slowly if that makes sense??

Hope this helps y'all figger out why my photos don't show up in File Manager after the ERROR message Drew....otherwise I think it may be FIXED!!

After that I hit "Publish" and only this page.......it "Saved" my page and then just stopped........so I hit "Publish" again and it froze for quite awhile then instead of my newly published page showing up I got this:
So......then I looked at my website and under Today's Sunrise tab EVERYTHING had published PROPERLY so why all the ERRORS now??
This really is getting NUTZ......

Am I the only one having trouble??
