I then tried again with Safari. I just uploaded 4 different pics and they seemed to work. I did get the spinning beach ball of doom for a while.

I recently got the iPhone 7 Plus and and I've noticed that some of the higher res photos wouldn't upload using the old pic upload method.

Maybe I'm hitting a file size limit or maybe the 2nd pic in my first try hadn't finished uploading?

Test using Chrome Version 54.0.2840.98 (64-bit) on macOS Sierra. Works.

I use Firefox. Perhaps it's a file size issue that is jamming folks up. The pic i posted was 127kb

Did you finish-up your 959 and what color did you end with?

Post a picture, please.

Still black!

I increased the file size to 5mb. I also added in the "old upload method" to the bottom of the screen, so at least we're no worse off than we were yesterday. For now, this is the best that I can do. I can tell you first hand that for me, it now takes about 15 seconds to upload 10 photos, whereas before it took about 5-10 minutes!

I also made the buttons a little bigger. As I'm getting older, my fingers must be getting fatter!

OK, I tried again. When I drag the file, it fills up the upload window. There is no longer a button in the window.
Here is what I see.

"Give me FILE MANAGER or give me death".

Worked great for me, A very nice feature!

[pete3799]

Click on either the post reply button, bottom left of last post, or the go advanced button under the quick reply box.
When the next window opens click on the upload photos button.
Drag your photo into this window and wait for it to load then hit the finished button.

1. Go Advanced

2. Then click here:

This window will open up


3. Open your choice of jpeg File Folder



4. Click and hold then drag to window/box in step #2, let go, you will see a check gif confirming a successful pre-upload, click "I'm FINISHED..."


5. Post

Check, worked on iPhone 6s

Wayne,
Have you given any thought of pulling images from older threads from external hosts onto your domain? For example, a very well known suspension redo thread that continually gets referenced. If the photo hosting source ever went a away, it would destroy the value of the thread. Part of the value of this forum of the quality and depth of the archived threads. Maybe something to consider. Like identifying the top 100 threads, and somehow pulling all their photos to your server? Might be hard to justify the cost/benefit, but figured I'd throw it out there.
