Forum:Trouble Uploading Photos

Forums: Index > Help desk > Trouble Uploading Photos

I am having trouble uploading photos. I have been exporting them from IPhoto with the smallest quality and smallest file size and they still don't seem to upload. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'd like to add some of my patterns.

Many thanks,

Cat

Hello Cat,

I have noticed for a small while now that the uploaded photos do not show up immediately. They are there, though. If you create your page, add the picture link via the button, etc., usually enough time has passed for the picture to appear in the finished listing when you are done and saved. Hope this helps.

P.S.: I just checked your latest upload, and it seems to be there...

Birgit,

Thanks! That is really confusing! The upload button last night kept telling me it was unable to upload. 8\ At least now I know it's working and can add more!! Thanks so much again!

Hi!

A related question:

I'm new to Wikia (which might explain my problems). I've recently bought a vintage pattern (a 1930's Butterick) that is not in the database, so I'd like to add it. I've scanned the envelope (150dpi jpg) and began to create a new page using the pattern template, but I can't get it to work. When I click the "add image"-button, my computer dowloads a file (index.php) and I get the question of whether I want to save it or if I want to choose a program to open it. Since I've no idea what program to use I've tried clicking cancel and clicking save. Both ways the image upload gets cancelled. Where does it go wrong? Does wikia not work with Mozilla Firefox? I've tried to find information but failed... I'd be very greatful for any help!
