Thriller Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 What's it like to sell a driving Buick? I haven't experienced that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I never had a problem until I wanted to show off a new fridge in my garage. Here is a screen grab: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It's like the forum wants me to finish saying what I started before. I signed out, reset my phone, signed back in and it still had restored the line above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 That appears to be a new/different problem Mike. Did you click "Clear editor"? Hopefully Peter is following this thread and will check out your particular problem, maybe it is tied to the other. I and others are still having the same previous problems with posting. Very frustrating when trying to post and you never know what will upload and what will not. Such is not good when forums are loosing members to other social media every day. 2 out of 4 pictures I just tried did not load. I tried the same 4 over on the '54 Buick Highway forum which has I think the same Invision Power Services software and they all loaded without problem. Peter has no problem uploading and says he can't fix what he can't duplicate. Hopefully someone with more technical skills than I who is having the problem will be able to figure something out. Again I appreciate the help from those who have submitted their finding thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Screen shot of the file from which the above were taken 1696 and 97 did not load, 1698 and 99 did Note that the pictures above somehow got flipped from what appears in the file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 OK, I just went back to the file and in Windows Photo Viewer, flipped pic 1697 and it uploaded this time. While this may show "something" why did 98 and 99 load ok in the inverted mode while 96 and 97 did not initially? Maybe there is a glitch in the systems "automatic flipper". Perhaps we should consult with House of Pancakes, see if they have a remedy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 http://www.howtogeek.com/203592/what-is-exif-data-and-how-to-remove-it/ Data on your photo shows it was taken with an Apple iphone 5s in Hull, GA along with other data. I am thinking that the forum software does not like all that extra garbage! Again, the only time I have had uploading problems, it was with iphone photos. They uploaded fine after stripping the metadata or by just renaming the file and changing the file extension from .JPG to .jpg. That adds extra steps with a desktop computer and negates the ease of popping a photo with your iphone and sending to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I've been gone from IT for a long time but the "God syndrome" happens often enough. If he isn't already using one, Peter needs to have a Joe User account to be able to replicate things. Of course, if the issue is related to iOS handling of images, one would need to have access to Apple products / images to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Bringing this back up as I had to just step away from it for awhile. If a few more members could test and see if they too have problems, perhaps there will be strength in numbers and I can get some more help from the administrator or perhaps the group that handles AACA's site.

jackofalltrades70 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I have a sneaking suspicion that the iphone is taking small video clips and not pictures, this is why they will not load. After cropping, they are saved as just a picture. To find out if yoir picture is a short video or not, hold your finger against the screen over the picture and see if the image moves and you get sound. This should be just a setting change on the phone. Matt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks Joel, don't be shy of how many you try, I can successfully upload 10-15 but that #16 won't go. Thanks man. I smell cornbread coming out of the oven so will try some more myself after supper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Took six pictures with cell phone, rotated #2 and #5. Attempted to upload with cell phone- #1 failed to load, #2 the rotated one, loaded, # 3 failed to load, #4,5,6 all queued but #4 got stuck for 10 minutes "uploading". Gave up, closed it and came to the computer to post this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Same six pictures I just previously tried. This time I transferred them via a WIFI transfer tool to my PC and tried downloading from my PC. As you can see from the screen snip below it doesn't seem to make a damn how or in what orientation they are presented for upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I am not sure how widespread or how random the issues may be. I don't personally post many photos and I have not experienced any problems myself yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937-44 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I just added two posts to the American Motors forum and each post had one failed upload out of five. I tried the failed upload again and it loaded on the second post but didn't try on the first one. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yes, directly from each phone. All uploaded with no problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just rotated one and cropped one in a post I made in the Garage & Memorabilia forum and they both posted, AFTER not posting as original, so you may be onto something. I looked into settings on my phone and there is an option to "Optimize iPhone Storage or "Download and Keep Original", would either of these effect ability of a picture to be downloaded? I may try switching and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackofalltrades70 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 is everyone logged on directly to forums.aaca.org or is there another way to post? I am using that, directly from Safari on my iphone. I am also currently connected to my home wifi. I haven't tried posting pictures from my phone without the wifi. Will attemp tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
