problem uploading

All morning I have been trying to upload fotos of the wiesel refurb so far. 5 fotos from my pictures file . it lets me select it starts to upload and completes up load. then it says trying to reach site. then i get a page saying site is not available. i then go through it all again. still no joy. can someone tell me if the site is working please? i can upload fotos to f/b so is there a problem? i would like to keep the forum informed of my progress but pictures tell a bit story

How big are your image files? There is limited bandwidth on this site and files which are too large can result in a timeout problem.

Ideally the file sizes should be around 300-400kb in size. If you are trying to upload images from a camera or scanner then the files could be many times bigger and will need resizing.

I've no problem connecting or uploading to my albums. To check, I've just uploaded a pretty large picture file. Make sure that your pics are all in JPG format and ideally around 640 x 480 pixels.

colin/dave im not tech minded but they are on my albums under wiesel refurb and i checked picture size average 6.5 mb 460 x3456 whatever that means

am i doing something wrong here? forgive me but a slide rule was what i was used to lol

right the fotos are in my wiesel album.but some of my originals were at the wrong orientation so i rotated them. when i checked my album they were posted as the originals. wrong orientation why would that be? something wierd is happening yer. in between cooking dinner and trying all this is doing my head in, its like a monty python sketch lmao, sorry guys but you gotta laugh

In that case Keith, your files are around 12 times bigger than they need to be which is probably causing the difficulty.

The orientation problem is at your end I'm afraid, it's the way your scanner/camera has encoded data on the image.

ok colin thanks the other thing is how do i change to see latest posts only? sorry im a pain in the butt its just that i have just posted 3 threads on the same thread because i i didnt see my original. i just cant get used to tech stuff. its the one about rubber power, can you get rid of 2 of my last posts saying the same thing?

There is a Latest Posts link at the top of each Forum screen just above the first post on the page!

And another one bottom left of the last post on the page.
