Photo Uploading Fixed

“Photo uploading on the site has been fixed. Tested with some photos my wife and I took on a day trip down to Rainier: http://www.thebackpacker.com/pictures/album/0ucby731.php

Please let me know if any of you have any trouble uploading on your end. Thanks!!”

“Thanks for being a better photo site than Yahoo! I was afraid "they" were gonna let the photo section die.”

“I just tried to upload my pics of the Colorado trip and it will not work for me.

I have tried several times. even using the Non Java Form. It has this at the bottom of the Upload page.......

The photo upload function of thebackpacker.com is currently unavailable. Restoring this feature is a priority for us, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

If you have further questions, please direct all inquiries to info@thebackpacker.com.

“It worked fine for me though it still has the message saying you can not upload.


Hmmm...even though it did not show the pic in the thread just the dreaded red X

“I have movedto my Lap Top and tried the Applet and the Non Applet upload pages , still no pics..............I am headed to the Java update to see if I need to update .......”

“Why was one of my albums deleted?”

“The dev forgot to remove that message, the form should still work ... at least it does for me in Firefox ... please go back to that page when you get a change and try choosing the photo and uploading. Let me know if you get any sort of errors.

One person in addition to myself has been able to create and upload photos to a new album.”

“The photo uploading appears to have worked for you ... as far as putting photos in the thread itself ... that would be a completely different function of the site. I think you tried to reference the page itself: (http://thebackpacker.com/pictures/pic/v0tb74.php) but what I believe you need to do is reference the actual image:

“We didn't actually delete any albums ... if it was uploaded during the transition from Matt's servers to ours -- it may have been after we'd gone live on this end and some folks DNS was still pointing them to Matt's server. I'll email Matt to see if he has any of those still, then try to get it transferred over.”
