Grateful Dead

we'll see where this goes...

With my time not being my own all too often yesterday and most of today did not work out as planned, thankfully nothing "bad". Cool I see the pic at my account and the show page. I only submitted from the original window twice. The first failed on your side at 300 dpi and the 2nd at 200 dpi went through. I did not hit submit on the 2nd test window I had open after the first failure. Aye, don't know what all yet but do know 300 dpi is a no go and 600x400 is the max. I will post here again when I try another one, only submit one at a time and wait for confirmation of failure or success before submitting another one. I won't go crazy I'll just try testing with a few that I want to upload anyway. Time to head home and write my story for the show 20 years ago today. A whole bunch, as opposed to ½ a bunch :P, of firsts for me that nite.

though based on the above I think we don't know what yet! Still, this is progress, thanks much, and I have turned your pic loose.

M'kay, I went like I was going to upload something new from the start in a new tab and @ 200, just like the 1st @ 300, I did not see anything other than the scaled 150px × 88px above the browse field when I would click on preview. Then I tried 150, 100, 72 dpi and each time I did not see the image when I previewed. I left the first tab open after hitting submit just in case and used another tab to go to my account page and it still showed, "No photos uploaded yet for this member (yet)." So I went back to the tab I left open after submitting, clicked on edit, browsed to a 200 dpi version, same size of 600x350, uploaded, hit preview and I see it. I did not see it originally after hitting submit and thought that might be due due to waiting for it to be approved but apparently not. I tried to upload other versions and it kept reverting back to the 200 dpi each time I hit preview. I don't recall hitting submit again, a 2nd time (1st w/200 dpi) after the 300. Perhaps it took what it liked and for me to try and change it again I have to click on submit??? I tried to change it again and paying a little more attention I see it listing both files with delete checked next to the first one after clicking on preview. Unlike initially browsing for files once submit is hit the page has view and edit at the top and it appears it will not change the upload until submit it hit again. Maybe I did hit submit after initially hitting the upload button with the 200 dpi version. Doing too many thing can cause this confusion, lol. Well it is getting kinda late here and I'm not really where I should be at this time so I think I'll leave things where they're at for now as to not mess up the system too much, lol, and come back to this tomorrow. If I have to redo what I tried to upload today no biggie but I'm thinking where I left it is ok since resubmitting replaces the current image, we'll see tomorrow. I am game for trying it with a test file that can be nuked to determine what is the max dpi the system will accept as long as you are willing. Sometimes outside testing is better but I don't want to disturb or take up too much of your time Mary. I am guessing from your last comment you'd like to know too. It's got me a little curious at this point, a bit confused with trying too many things and it might be best to try from the start fresh(er) tomorrow.

OK 300 dpi is no good and I still am not remembering anything from that one info page, lol. It could have been something "hidden" and outdated I found. I'll try again at 200 since I am into figuring & testing these kinds of things then we'll know.

When I clicked on upload for the pic @ 683x400 300dpi I got a message at the top, "The image was resized to fit within the maximum allowed resolution of 600x400 pixels". So me being me I had to mess around a lil more, :) Now I know the max res for sure, most likely max file size (a 1.2 meg .jpg or .gif would be very high dpi but not so much for a .png file) and well dunno about max dpi as of yet. If the software does not choke then we know it will take 300 dpi. Perhaps that 1000(?) I saw on the elusive info page is for dpi not res???I finally hit submit a few minutes ago.

it is listed in the moderation queue, but when I click it there is no image there, and also no file. This, shall we say, happens a lot, so if we can figure out what does and doesn't work that would be useful.

Got delayed, ready to attempt upload now @ 300 and we'll see if the software chokes. If so it was an unsuccessful test but at least then we will know.

there are at present no files uploaded by you in the moderation queue.

uploading 300 dpi is a waste because the Web can only display 72 dpi and the software is almost certain to choke on the hi-res, but whatever.
