Trouble with pdfs again!

Yes, it is a Jpeg. Connection speed is slow, so may be something to do with it, Always goes on a downer the minute need it fast.

I've had the same a few times.  I think it might time out if the file is large.

If it proves too difficult, try resizing the file.  800 pixels wide should be OK for a wiki page.

It might be a timeout problem, however I don't know if that is the server or router or what.  It does suggest there is a problem of some sort my end.  Maybe the webserver (lighttpd)?

I've tried up loading a picture onto the special page on the wiki a few dozen times over the last couple of weeks, and It's not having it. It is a Jpeg.
Anyone got any ideas?

What error do you get?  There was a problem that crept in with a software update which I fixed I think last week.  But if you are seeing an error let me know.

Is the photo particularly big?

I'm fiddling with the wiki stylesheets at the moment so hopefully won't break anything else!

I don't get an error. It appears to upload, there is a percentage thing going in the bottom left hans of the screen. It reaches 100%, then the screen just stays the same. I go to look in uploaded files, and its not there. It has occurred to me that I may be looking in the wrong place.....

I'm sure the photo isn't to big, but I'll check anyway.

Of course I could be wrong........
I've just taken a look, and it says the photo is 2.57MB. The page says max size 2MB.
Does that mean that it won't load?
How do i make it smaller?

[Tony]

That'll be it - one solution if you don't have an image editor is:

http://www.picresize.com/

Otherwise I can recommend http://www.getpaint.net/ as a useful editor.

Captain Caveman strikes again!

I could just set the picture quality on the camera lower and retake the picture. Failing that I'll try and resize it. Thanks for the links. That getpaint one looks real handy. i might try downloading that. I've wanted a good photo editor for a while.
Cheers.

I use MS paint,just open the pic with it,then save as,job done

[greasemonkey]

Well I managed to upload the picture. It was failing because it was to big, so I reduced it using Paintbrush. Nearly finished the page now. Thanks all.

Nice one
