Got a few bits to sell on and a few things to give away but I can't get the pics to upload. Tried 3 different browsers and iPhone but all I get is spinning upload symbol. I thought it was a pain when we had to use Flickr etc but this is dong my head in. Check properties on pics etc but I'm out of ideas. Help please.

There appears to be an odd bug going that is causing issues for some members, I'll highlight your thread to tech.

Won't work on my Samsung tablet either .

[Mod] this could be due to over-zealous anti virus software or worth trying a different browser. Tech are aware. Thanks.

We had a couple of reports of this over the weekend. As above I advised (via another moderator who picked it up first) to try a different browser and / or check that the AV hadn't grabbed it, and both reporters have subsequently posted ads successfully. Whether this is related to my suggestion or it just worked suddenly for them, I don't know.

We've spoken with Tech who have replied, "I've not been able to replicate it or see anything in the logs that would suggest a problem. I can only ask for people to send me as much detail as possible when it happens. Screenshots, JS console logs, etc. Anything will help". I'd add to that, OS browser would be helpful I expect.

others showed rotating load symbol

I've had that before. As a workaround, can you still post with one photo and just include the rest of the pics in the body of the ad? ie. upload them to postimages.org and link to them with [ img] tags.

Hi all, same here

shrinking the photos to 1MB even doesnt help.

Tried on Chrome and Safari on Mac and MSEdge on Windows.

Thanks

It also doesn't work on Pinkbike so maybe it's on a STW only issue?

Ok.

I've tested again this afternoon this time by ticking "I have permission" first seems to get it to work.

Might be worth trying.

I also can't upload one particular picture. Others upload fine and ticking 'I have permission' first made no difference. Taken with same camera (phone) minutes apart, and I've tried changing the file name. It is larger in size, but still under 1MB.

Ok. So just got in and thought I’d give it a try on phone, I wasn’t holding out much hope but lo and behold 4 pics straight onto classifieds. Took a chance and deleted/ edited them and put them back on. That was from my iPhone. I’ll try on laptop later. Not sure why.

I'm having similar issues. Have tried the permission first thing and shrinking image size to no avail.

Frrrustrating!

I’m still getting this issue. Reduced file size via compress jpeg, tried the permission thing - used to be able to do it fine, but from last weekend it’s been pretty laborious / futile - to the point I’ve just given up on it. Hey ho.

Same for me on IOS, Android and Windows 10. I’ve found that reducing the images to less than 500k makes it work, but it’s still pretty crappy. It took me over an hour to list an advert with nine pics.
