I normally use Photobucket to upload screenshots to, but I noticed that nifty little "Upload a File" button here on the forums. I decided to try it for two of my screenshots that I hadn't uploaded to Photobucket yet. The screenshots worked fine at first, but today my images are gone and a placeholder box appears in my thread instead. When I try to reload nothing happens. When I choose to view the image or navigate to the image location I get this message: Since you can't edit your post after 35 minutes I can't just upload to Photobucket and then plug in the new links instead. I can make a new reply and add new links, but I just wondered what happened to the attachments.
Hm, not sure why it's getting that error. Try using a browser to see if you get the same error. I'd also make sure the file you are trying to upload is properly named as a picture file. Please keep us updated!
It uploaded and displayed fine yesterday (jpg). Today in 2 different browsers the images aren't loading. It's in this thread. And here are links to the 2 images I uploaded: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?attachments/eq2_000016-jpg.8/ http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?attachments/coffee-jpg.9/ The images I linked back to Photobucket work fine. It's only the 2 I uploaded to these forums that aren't working.
hmm eq2_000016-jpg.8 and coffee-jpg.9 is very odd shouldn't it rather be eq2_000016.jpg and coffee.jpg? This points at an error like the one AlexS mentioned, however if it worked before I'd wager a guess that the change in file type was produced by a database problem in your systems.
It's not -jpg.8 when I upload. It's just a .jpg file. The link gets changed after it's uploaded to what I assume is supposed to be the location of the image file after it's been uploaded. It worked fine yesterday. Well, at least it was displaying the correct images in the thread for me. I never thought to ask anyone else if any of the images were missing. It's easy enough to reply to my thread and post new links, but I just wondered why the upload a file feature doesn't seem to be working.
I can see the images fine when I click on the links. Perhaps something was corrected since then. I'm using Firefox 16.0.2 by the way.
