is anyone else having difficulty uploading new images to the site?

April 18th, 2020
yesterday i tried to upload something that was over 10mb (don't ask) and now i can't get anything to load at all... i've tried logging out and logging back in again... but no luck... i periodically get a message at the top of my feed saying that there are uploads waiting for me, but i can't seem to get to them...

i think it's probably just me but thought i would double check...

I've just this minute uploaded a pic with no problem.

One of mine yesterday was over that ( again don't ask đŸ™„), and it went through smoothly as usual.

@northy -- I had trouble, closed my browser, opened it, and then it worked.

tx... so issue seems to be related to the one image... i can upload other images, just not the one that i first tried to load when it was over 10mb... i subsequently shrunk it to just under 7mb and 365 will not deal with it... i really just need to move on, it's not even a great image... but i spent hours on it yesterday (and it just about blew up my laptop) and i'd like for it not to go to waste!

i have tried closing everything down on my laptop and rebooting, and i have tried from other devices... i've managed to load the image to flickr, but 365 just doesn't seem to want to deal with it... hmmmmm....

@northy -- have you tried changing the extension? Once I had a similar problem and finally realized I was trying to upload a tiff file and I have no idea how it ended up as a tiff

@jyokota definitely a jpeg... and my computer hates this image as well... i very stupidly tried to meld 20+ pics in photoshop without changing their size... photoshop fought me every inch of the way... burned thru the battery in record time, but finally got the thing into LR, into silverFX and then exported... first export was 17.5 mb!!! i kept shrinking it down... just exported at 10% and it's still over 5mb, and 365 still won't deal with it... officially moving on!!!

Now we're curious about the image. Or at least I am!!

@lsquared i think this should take you to where it is posted on flickr... a bit of a craptastic mess... https://www.flickr.com/photos/northy44/49786482238/in/dateposted-public/

OK... that makes my head hurt. But in a good way...

Size shouldn't be the problem - Ace members can upload to 20MB.

@northy don't know what your normal workflow is but have you tried downloading from Flickr to your phone and then uploading to 365? Flickr gives a few image sizes as options so you could try a small file to see if it works.

I've not had any problem and my photos are usually that size.
