Frank Testing Posted December 26, 2016 Report Posted December 26, 2016 Testing with Newbie Account. Requires approval first. Quote
Frank Testing Posted December 26, 2016 Report Posted December 26, 2016 Testing again with 2, 3 4 and 5 MB files: 1.07 MB - 4.87 MB skipped 3.34 MB skipped 1.66MB - 1.75 MB - Quote
Hirilonde Posted December 27, 2016 Report Posted December 27, 2016 I have not had any issues posting photos till now. Any update on where this stands Frank? Quote
Frank Hagan Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Posted December 28, 2016 I can't figure it out so far. I have PHP set to allow up to 20MB files, and the forum software set that way too, but I have to believe it is with the server software. I just moved servers over the last few days, so it has to be the new server. Maybe I'll recompile Apache with PHP set for the higher file limit. Initially I had PHP 7 loaded but that version won't work with the software, so I have the server set to use PHP 5.x (5.5 and 5.6 I believe). Quote
Frank Hagan Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Posted December 28, 2016 Trying large file as admin: Quote
Frank Testing Posted December 28, 2016 Report Posted December 28, 2016 Large file as user (4.88 MB): Another one (4.53 MB): I have not had any issues posting photos till now. Any update on where this stands Frank? Try now, Dave. I think I may have fixed it. Quote
Hirilonde Posted December 28, 2016 Report Posted December 28, 2016 Working fine again, thanks Frank. Quote
Action Tiger Posted December 28, 2016 Report Posted December 28, 2016 Okay. If I can post photos, now, anyone can! Once again, Thanks Frank. Although, with the freeze on (for real!), priming and fairing have slowed. No pics to post. Peace, Robert Quote
Frank Hagan Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Posted December 29, 2016 That would be the outside weather freeze and not a software freeze, right? I think the larger files were timing out, so I upped the execution time to 20 seconds (a very long time for software). That seems to have done the trick. Quote
Action Tiger Posted December 29, 2016 Report Posted December 29, 2016 Yes, weather freeze. I always assume computer errors are actually caused by me, because they usually are. But, man, it has been really freezing here, which is a little unusual. Meh. Better than 120 degrees. Peace, Robert Quote
TimE Posted January 2, 2017 Report Posted January 2, 2017 Hi Frank, Are you uploading these test photos to a third party server before inserting them into the post using the photo's URL or inserting them into the post from your own hard drive? Thanks Tim Quote
Frank Hagan Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Posted January 2, 2017 Uploading them from my hard drive directly to our server here. To do that, you have to click the "More Reply Options" button at the bottom right, then in the Attach Files section choose a file to upload, then click the "Attach this file" button. After uploading you have the choice to leave it attached to the bottom of the message as a thumbnail or position the cursor and click the "Add to Post" link to insert it into the post at the designate spot.

Steve W Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 I use Google to host my files. It used to be Picasa. For some reason I get a "not supported" when posting. Is there a list of approved hosting sites? Thanks! Quote

Is there a list of approved hosting sites? Thanks! That's not on my end; it sounds like Google prevents the images from being displayed by forums. We provide each user the ability to upload them to our server, so you can do that, but other than that ... maybe someone can chime in on the service they use to host photos.
