Trouble uploading images?

Just curious if the Carrara forum is having trouble uploading images to threads.  We are having a 'sometimes' problem in the Bryce forum and I wondered if it was just our forum or not.

    Yes, I just failed to load an image, either pasted or attached.  I dunno ...

    @NGartplay, Same for me.  When I try to upload images as attachments directly to my post, it fails morre often than not.  A workaround suggested by @Bunyip02 is to load to the Daz3d gallery, BUT DO NOT PUBLISH.  Repeat, go to the gallery, upload a new image, use the 'save' button, but DO NOT CLICK THE PUBLISH BUTTON.  You should now have your image uploaded to the gallery where you can see it, but no one else can see it there while it is not published.  Then right click on the image and choose 'Copy Image Address.'  You can then paste that address as the URL for attachments to your posts without it appearing in your gallery to anyone else.

    Thanks both.  Domede, can I copy and paste your explanation to the Bryce forum?

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,083

    Absolutely.  But all credit goes to @Bunyip02.  Might test first to make sure I did not miss a step.

    very weird.. must be a timezone thing as I've had no trouble posting images between 10am and 4pm AEDT ... ( Aussie eastern Daylight Time )

    It works for me if I have insomnia and try to post something at 2:00 a.m.

    timezone related suggests a possible internet traffic bottleneck issue where DAZ is lower in priority rather than something on DAZ's end

    someone must know

    ... or is it when they plug in the morning kettle?

    It looks like it's working from 9PM Daztime to 2AM Daztime, let's see if it's the same tomorrow.

    I have not been able to find a particular time, maybe others have had more luck ....

    Thanks Diomede.  It works for me sometimes and sometimes not.  Going to check out Richard's link.
