Cant upload pictures that I take

[NebraskaFan]

Alright I am having issues uploading any photos that I take with my phone and try to upload from my computer, or even pictures I get using the snipping tool on my laptop. I am usually trying to us JPG file type and I tried re-sizing down to 500x500 at less than 60 kb file size. The weird part is that I Can upload photos that I download of off the forum that other people had post. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?

When I try to upload using the newest version of the attachment handling system it displays no errors, pretty much nothing happens when I click upload.

When I try using the old format for uploading attachments it gives me an error that says:

Fatal Error:

Could not create file system directory to hold your attachment.

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class
vb_DataManager_AttachmentFileData in
[Path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 849

Any guess what this means? It is quite frustrating, as I've never been able to upload photos of my truck.

Forgot to add that it does allow me to change my avatar picture.

Thanks for any help,
Christian

Try now - I see this was your first post...

Also what browser are you using?

Welcome from California

I am running chrome currently, I haven't tried recently but in the past I tried firefox and internet explorer when I was truly desperate haha.. And I just tried attaching more photos using the enhanced mode as well as the older one and still no luck. Can it be possible there is something wrong with my account?

And thanks!

From the computer (where you stored the images as BITMAP files (bmp) = from your phone resize using your photo (shop) photo suite editor on the computer and save them as bmp. (to a folder "my SS posts) or similar.
new post - go advanced - (place tiltle if you wish) - manage attatchments - manage files - (go to your folder and choose pictures) - upload - repeat. IF you get problems with the manage attatcment page box freezing, go through another browser. (firefox / google chrome whatever.) Give it another go. good luck.

This is a 64kB image I just uploaded through Chrome on my Win-7 Desktop. When you say "new upload system", are you talking about the attachment manger?

I just uploaded this image with the simple insert picture button in the quick reply editor:

To check if it's your account, take a look all the way at the bottom right of this forum page, there's a little status box that tells you what your account can do:

That's what a picture looks like when you simply attach it to a post - if you are in the attachment manager, you can lick the "insert inline" once you put the picture in the "Attachments" box:


Wherever your cursor was in the editor box is where it'll put the checked picture.

I mostly use the Attachment manager to upload PDFs or to re-use an uploaded image I've previously used (like the image above )

Alright so I tried saving the files to bmp format (still staying within size requirements) and that didnt work. I also check my permissions and those seem to be in order.

When I said "new upload system" I meant the enhanced upload option that has the attachment manager. I have tried switching to and from that and I also tried the insert image option that is in the quick reply box. So still no luck unfortunately. I'll open up a different browser and try that. It has to be some sort of issue with my files though, considering I can upload other people imagines.
Here is a picture of some else's hitch installation that I had saved.

I think I've found the problem. Give it a try now.

View attachment Deuce Smallest.bmp Okay progress has been made in firefox! It seems like I am good to go now. I will keep playing around with it to make sure I can do everything I need to though. Thank you for all the help!

Curious as to what the problem was ? I haven't been able to upload pics either

Whatever you did seems to be working for me! Once again thanks for the help everyone!

His problem was with his folder directory permissions on the server. (The error message he posted directed me to checking that) I checked your folder permissions, they're fine.

I am having the same problem- tried all size of photos, tried IE, Firefox, nothing works but in some of the different methods I have tried, I get the message:

Fatal error:

• File system directory "[path]/forum_attachments/4/9/4/0/1" is not writable or cannot be found. Please create this directory; ensure the directory is writable or change the directory setting.

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vB_DataManager_AttachmentFiledata in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 849

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried recently? Folder permissions look good on that directory. I had to update a ton of folders when NebraskaFan pointed it out.

 

[Julian]

I tried it last night and again just before posting.

 

[patracy]

Interesting, I've drilled down through every level of your folders. Everything is the right permissions from top to bottom now. There was one folder that didn't have X rights on, so I added that, but it wasn't owned by the wrong user like the previous ones I've seen.

 

[Julian]

That must have been it!

Thanks

Great!
