I've been looping on

For, I dunno, 20 odd minutes now, in trying to upload a couple of images.

Anyone else having problems?

Do they appear if you go to this link:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-upload.jsp?key=user&s=2

?

Nope, I'm guessing that means it didn't upload quite right?

Yeah seems like that one image got frozen somewhere. The logs are empty, so please try again and see how it goes?

Alrighty, trying that now. It's still looking like it's stuck. - I'm probably going to have 50 of the same pic now!

The pic is ingeniously titled DSCF2650.JPG if that helps with log hunting.

It may have been me. I was testing the new image rotation dealy by uploading some pics direct from my iPad to see if it could cope with the iOS crappy rotation. The upload went fine, then it said that it was generating thumbnails but they seem to have disappeared. They aren't showing up in my half-finished uploads nor in my gallery.

Have you been able to upload anything since then?

I have also had the same problem today. The queue just keeps growing.

Haven't tried since but I'll have another go.

A fair whack of the queue is probably mine. - Trying to upload Mantic Open Day pictures and all that.

I've definitely broken something - I'll look into it as a priority and might disable the auto rotation to work around it soon.

I've had the same problem, from both my Ipad and PC. I assumed that the Ipad was being crap, so tried from the PC and got the same problems. Thanks for your efforts, Legoburner!

I've made a few tweaks so you should be able to upload again now. The problem might reoccur but it will at least give me some additional debugging info that I can use to fix the problem. Many apologies for the inconvenience!

I tried again, but apparently there is still an issue?

Yeah, I managed to get one up, but the other messed up.

Compel, could you email the other one to me at machinegod@dakkadakka.com and I'll test and debug locally

Thanks!

I tried uploading from iPhone and my computer directly.

urgh that is clearly not good! What did you use to take the photo and did you use any software on it before uploading?

I used my iPhone.

I tried direct upload from iPhone and download from iphone to computer, then upload (no modification). No go. Let me try to open and save it using windows photo viewer and reupload.

Okay, that worked much better.



So something about the iPhone auto-rotatey thingy?

Yup, you guess correct. I'll look into it.
