Weird...

The password has been reset back to what Ron said it was in the first post in this thread. Hopefully it was okay to do that. Shy [8)]

You know what, I bet somebody went in there and changed the password possibly thinking it would create a personal account? I don't know. All I can say is... DON'T CHANGE THE PASSWORD!!! Smile [:)]

Hey, this is all Ron...I'm just his lackey. Smile [:)]

Ron -- I don't know if you received my message over the weekend. I couldn't move photos, then finally yesterday it was working. Smile [:)] Now at work it's not letting me move. Sad [:(]. Hopefully it's a work thing. Just letting you know in case you modified something over the weekend.

Everything is going great. I just need more people to upload.

The new album is also compressing and resizing for you, so it keeps everything within normal limits. This one will go the distance I think.

Hi, Ron! Thanks again for the great service.
I finally got around to re-uploading some pix. Everything went well for the most part, but after I loaded, I experienced some strange anomalies, including some kind of nutty pop-up thing (not an ad; it was some kind of command pop-up) that wouldn't stop, until the connection dropped and I got the "cannot show page" message. Clicking back in, I got half of the pix, and the rest were Xs (throughout the gallery, seemingly at random).
After a complete reboot of my aging yet valiant computer, all seemed well with the gallery. I was quite worried that I had somehow destroyed it!
Anyway, I reckon I succesfully got some pix back up.
Now, we should wait until our pix our settled into their final resting places before we post, yes? Yup, I'm sure that's right.
Thanks again, Ron!

Exactly. Wait until they have moved to their final resting place before posting.

I moved all the pics that were in the upload dir to their final resting place, so you will find yours in Armor now.

shrikes, that is correct.

When Ron rebuilt the gallery, it was at around 1,204 images and now it's up to 1,332 images. Very cool!! Smile [:)]

Got problems with uploading today. I tried to upload 4 pics. The system somehow had a problem with resizing the pics and the thumbnails did not show.

I axed the Build Ups.

Something went haywire yesterday.... there was a new folder and it was broke. To fix it I deleted Buildups and its 2 child albums.

Just a reminder, dont create any new folders, :)

OH.. on the same topic.

Have you noticed the very dramatic quality increase since the rebuild? Everything is much better. The photography, the sizes, everything. Its very impressive.

Doh! I just created one. Blush [:I]

Reference > Armor > M3 Stuart

There were 6 pics of the real thing and thought it best to put them in their own folder.

Yes, the performance has improved. During the day sometimes I'm unable to move stuff, but if I wait until later at night I have no problem. Could be the server is busy or something. No big deal.

You know...I had gone and created that folder before I read this and I think I broke it. Blush [:I]

I made copies of the pictures and reuploaded them into the Upload area. Then I deleted the folder I had made. It's still not working (the Move Photo). Sorry for screwing things up. Black Eye [B)]

I notice the civil aviation section got axed from the reference photo area, any reason why, or did it just get lost?

No idea. I know Ron's going to be away for awhile so until he gets back online if something gets messed up (like being unable to move photos) nothing can be done.

Ron,

I successfully got some pictures over to your site, but I cannot get them to the forum. I still get the dreaded X-box.

Please help!

Thanks.

Its working great.

There are 600+ images in the upload area that I need to sort though.

If all else fails, please try again in a few hours. Time seems to fix all of it.
