Uploading problems

[twilliams]

Trying to upload a pic and keeps saying error after it hits 100%. Anyone with same issue

[Jonathon]

twilliams We had this issue a lot a while back but we thought we had fixed it. We will take a look at it again. Can you tell me if you are uploading from a phone, if so, Apple or Android?

Also, in the meantime you are welcome to send it to me at jonathon@waltonsinc.com and tell me where you want it posted and I will do that

twilliams I’ve had this issue in the past and it always seemed to do with the file size. With the iPhone I’ve noticed recently that is allows me to pick the size before posting so I use the ‘large’ file size rather than ‘full size’.

twilliams I will talk with Austin about it and see what is going on and then update this post.

Speaking of issues. For the last few weeks any time I’m at the Meatgistics site I get pop up notifications that I’ve lost connection and is trying to reconnect. This is only here and with my phone or laptop. No issues on any other site. Doesn’t matter which wifi I’m on. Also no issues with waltonsinc.

PapaSop I have been getting the same message as well, pops on and off multiple times

PapaSop I get that same message often on my phone but it seems to reconnect quickly

Austin has increased the limit again on image size. Someone here said it earlier but Iphones allow the option to resize before posting and if you choose medium or large it should be fine. I just tested and if you choose to do the full size, which in my test case was 4.5 MB it wouldnt work, but if I chose large it worked no problem. I am going to do some testing with our google phone as well and I will update this post.

But for Iphone users as you post, look at the bottom of your screen and you will see text that size “Choose Image Size” and you can select Large, Medium or Small but not actual size.

Alright I just tested on an android and with files under 4 mb it works fine, it will not allow pics larger than 4 mb from an android. I don’t see the option to change the size of the photo when uploading from an android phone, or at least a google pixel.

Okay, I tested this on a Galaxy s10 and it has the same issue. Below 4 mb are no issue, above and it won’t work. So you will have to resize photos on your phone to under 4 mb before posting them to meatgistics. In the meantime and perfectly acceptable work around is to email them to jonathon@waltonsinc.com and include a link to the post you want to add them to and I will post it for you right away!

Austin looks like iPhone > Android here huh?

Jonathon just checked my photo size, it was 5.43mb. I will try to resize

Probably not a bad time to just make a quick point and say if you are having issues with something on meatgistics or even waltonsinc.com to a certain extent please don’t let it fester or annoy you and certainly dont let it stop you from using the site or posting! Let us know, Austin is very good at the tech side and I am sure I have some value too, though what that might be is still a mystery…
