Help uploading photos

“I am using aol dialup to access the internet, and am trying to use webshots to upload pics. but when i try to login, i get "the server could not be contacted. you must be connected to the internet (I AM) to use this feature. make sure your modem or LAN is still connected. if you use proxy server, check your proxy settings in options"

ok. so wtf do i do? please talk slowly and use small words”

“I D o n ' t K n o w :D

“~stares balefully~”

“:( wish I could help dude but I have never had that problem :(

“that sometimes happens to me and I use cable. I usually just wait and try later”

“sds like u r not really logged into the 'net? maybe ur srvr is 2 slo...

LOL”

“I've had that happen when I was behind a firewall, but never from a home connection.”

“from photobucket.com:

"we are currently accepting new "free" accounts between 10am-2pm and 10pm-2am mst!"”

“lol thats new! They never had restrictions before. Must be trying to get people to start paying for it :D”

“"sds like u r not really logged into the 'net?" then how the hell am i talking to you?

"maybe ur srvr is 2 slo..." 56k

“I've had that happen when I was behind a firewall, but never from a home connection.”
im pretty sure im not behind a firewall”

“XP has a firewall built in. Are you using XP, and maybe the firewall got turned on automatically? I think if you upgrade to XP SP2, the firewall comes on by default.”

“How big are the pictures? it could be that the pics are too large or you are trying to upload many large pics at the same time with a 56K connection.”

“slash,
I was just poking fun... have no idea really, I log in through my DSL and Internet Explorer or Safari (MAC)... occasionally, I have a hard time logging into a site-- have you tried clearing your cache? sometimes the computer stores an outdated image... otherwise, it could be that too many users are online at the time you are logging in?”

“i know you were, pb.

blood: ill look into that, its not my pc so ill have to find out

maryland: im just trying to login, not send pics yet”

“WK

that is too funny!!! people walking by my office are wondering why I'm sitting at my desk laughing!”

“SB delete your cookies and try to log in again.”

“death to wk”

“Pink, that is slash bang by the way.

Ha Ha Scott, you firefly you!”

“That's not Scott, that's cornholeleo!”

“He thought he was that night!”

“We were drinking Corona's”

“Oh, well if you simply can't login it's probably an issue on the server side. Try later!”

“Oh, right... blame it on the Coronas-- what did they ever do to you???






On 2nd thought... Touche!”

“I can't #&%!$ing upload pictures to save my life! The "applelet" is missing so I try non java what ever. It "uploads" but doesn't.

WTF?

I'm going to torture some mice now.”

“I finally got rid of all the mice in my basement.”

“strange...when i click on your "2" albums, I see one picture and one album. when I click that one picture...I see nothing!!

That's bad!! really, really BAD!!!”

“That picture did exist at some point and now it's gone. The non java crap says it's uploading my photo but after it's "done" there 'taint no new photo.

WTF!”

“I have not yet tried to create an album on thebackpacker.com. Therefore, I don't know what is required to do so. However, I do have a hunch...

Problems that often arrise in other situations inclued two things. Either the file is not proper or you have used CAPITAL letters in the name of the image.
I browsed a few picture galleries and found that the images were .jpg .
Make sure you've titled the images as such.

Hope my solution takes care of ya, but if not... ask Matt.”
