System won't upload photo

[Peter Creasey]

Photo cannot be uploaded to a posting...

Errors:
No original file specified for moving

I have seen this, too. I don't really understand what the technology is doing but it seems to happen whenever the picture is very large. If I shrink it by 20% or 30%, then it works.

Problem constant even with photo shrunk greatly.

I uploaded a photo yesterday so the site is probably fine. Gotta be something's up with your picture.

 

[Peter Creasey]

It is a scan and it works fine with other applications. A duplicate of the jpg file has the same problem. Another scan of the item also has the same problem.

An attempt to upload another item (an actual photo) has the same problem.

Still no joy with different browsers after a PC restart.

Jeff, you haven't changed.

 

[Peter Creasey]

After hearing about the details/attempts, tech guru tells me this is probably a server problem.

Is there any recourse?

[Jeff Grossman]

Send the picture to the Politburo and let them look at it?

 

[Peter Creasey]

As mentioned before, it is not just one photo. Multiple photos have the same problem using different browsers.

[Jeff Grossman]

As mentioned before, no one else is having this problem.

 

[Peter Creasey]

Since the photo cannot be sent to the Politburo due to there not being any provision for attachment(s) in the messages processor, I just sent an internet link.

FWIW I couldn’t add a large emoji to a post today as well. Standard small ones worked though


Posted this one at another site

Everett, thanks for the info.

I shrunk my photo way down and it still gets the same error message...

Errors:
No original file specified for moving

Meanwhile, no response from the Politburo regarding the photo I submitted for evaluation!?!

Pete,

It has been my experience that the Politburo here is not concerned with timely responses or, for the matter, responding at all. My guess is, they don’t see immediacy as a virtue.
But I have been wrong before and woken up one day to some cure for the problem occurring when I least expect it, so . . . grain of salt.
And, FWIW, I find the same technique works with my wife; I can bitch until the cows come home and get nothing but blue sky. And then, one day, the seed I planted will have grown.

May I suggest the theory of benign neglect.
Or, in hipster terms, just let it go . . .

Your choice.

 

[Peter Creasey]

Jim, nice summary of what I have pretty much been concluding.

I'm fairly amazed that others here are apparently uploading photos successfully. Early on I got one jpg file to upload but don't recall now what might have been the key, if any, with that one success.

Maybe patience will pay off eventually.

If patience it be.
