EVERYONE PLEASE READ: Help me test first draft of new Photo Posting System

VacuumLand – Vintage & Modern Vacuum Enthusiasts

Help Support VacuumLand:

Yay, thanks Joe. This is another test to look at image quality for upgraded users.

Also if anyone has an android tablet or phone could you try this and let me know, it's been reported to me that it might not be working on android phones, but I don't have anything to test those with. I will have to go to the Windows store at the Mall of America to try it myself this week if I can.

Does the old way still work or is that being phased out? Rebuild threads won't be the same as one can't provide a running commentary if not!

The new system views fine in chrome for android. If this post works they post fine on it too.

Hi Sam, thanks for your test! Everyone can still post just one picture per thread if they want a running commentary, that wont change. But for many threads being able to post multiple pictures in the same post will make viewing easier for everyone.
 
OK -- here goes!

Ah that's good then! Yes for 97% of my posts it won't be a problem, and I'm glad that the othrler 3% will be fine too.

Are massive threads such an issue nowadays though with fast broadband everywhere? I pull 4mb down on my phone, let alone at home!

Not like they used to be for most people, but this will help. It's also easier on the server and having the pictures display like this is more modern and convenient for most users as well.

In a few hours I will launch this site-wide.
 
Sort of worked using IE 11

It took a few attempts to upload all in one go - came up with errors in the URL or something. only loaded 4 of the original 6 photos so I had to go back and try again to load the other 2 this time one at a time, then it worked. Using IE 11.


 


It seems to open the full size view in a new window.

Thanks everybody for tests. I launched it site-wide for now. If there are too many issues I will pull it out temporarily.

Steve I'll look into IE and it opening in a new window and not tab, I believe IE has had issues with that.

Let me know if anyone has any major difficulties with this. On the mobile site for now I have both upload options available (both the old and the new one) as certain Droid and Windows Phone users have had issues with the new ones that I need to correct. Seems that iPhones are working perfectly with this, so only the new version is showing for iPhone users.
 
Hi Kevin, I assume you are on a Mac? If so can you try uploading them using Firefox instead of Safari? The reason I ask is I want to make sure it's just Safari and not you local machine.

Thank you!
 
Hi Robert,

I was able to upload pics using Firefox--thanks. You were right; I am using a Mac.
Very cool--thanks for all your work to maintain and improve Vacuumland!

Problem for upgraded members - Editing function

The picture posting is not working for me now on other threads. If I try to edit a previous post and then include a picture, it goes through the process, but when you hit "post this to vacuumland", it loses the picture and posts with no picture. Tried this several times using the edit function and it wont post pictures.


 


It doesn't work on this thread either. Editing this to try to include a picture - it loses the pic and posts without it.
