0 uploads were successful
When I try to upload pictures the site says, "0 uploads were successful". I've had this problem for a couple of weeks now. Is it likely that I've reached the limit of allocated space for my galleries or is there some other problem? I'm using the same process that I've successfully used to post pictures in the past.

Are you sure the pics are within the size limit ?21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
Just got the same message, reduced the image to 1024x768 and re-tried with no problem. There's a 7MB filesize limit.Previously:

My files were much less than 7MB. Generally, they're smaller than 3MB. However, I just reduced the size of one of them to about 1MB on my PC and it uploaded successfully. Here it is (you can see on the site that it's 355kb after upload):

It depends how quick your internet connection is for uploading - the script will timeout if it takes too long, which is why there can appear to be a variable maximum file size 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Yup, smaller files upload no problem.
You could be spot on, Martin; I've had internet connection problems for a while now.

I'm having a similar problem, but with the Avatar. It has to be no larger than 12KB, but I can't get it below about 25KB. Using Photoshop CS3, sized at 100 px wide, but even if I save with max compression still can't get anywhere near
Any help would be appreciated

It's your UPLOAD speed which is important. You're highly unlikely to be uploading at 4.9Mbit/sec.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Also, there's no need to use BMPs - they should compress to a small fraction of the size as a JPG, GIF or PNG.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Just a quick addition on this - I found that even posting a (relatively) small bmp was causing this error yesterday, and I'm on Virgin 20Mb broadband (790KBps upload). Switching to jpg fixed it though.
I just figured it was all my own fault for wasting site storage Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?
