We are currently experiencing some technical difficulty with our uploading engine so you may have trouble with uploading. Kristopher is working on these problems and we hope to have them resolved and debugged shortly. Will give you an update back when we get it fixed.

We’re sorry for this inconvenience and thanks for bearing with us.

Update: 10:17a.m. Ok guys, I think we have it mostly resolved now. Please let us know if you are still experiencing any uploading problems. If you are experiencing uploading problems still please also let us know what browser and OS you are using.

    Yes, there is some little bug.
    For example uploading on Firefox on Linux makes Firefox crash miserably.

    Sorry for my bad English, I really need to improve it but I don’t want to talk about my language skills. When I’ll can upload my pics by jUploader ? I’ve got a lot of pics (more then 1500) so I won’t upload them by browser :/ Is there a deadline to bring jUplader back to life ? Waitin for replace.

    I uploaded a few pictures last night and didn’t have any troubles with Firefox on XP. I really like the new upload screen, a vast improvement over the old one. Thank you.

    I a problem with Opera 9.2.1 and Windows XP. If i upload a pic- with opera, it changed the privacy settings to “private” and not to public and i can’t change the settings with Opera, i have to use firefox for making my uploaded pics visible.

    Linux + Firefox != nice uploading because of crashing FF
    Linux + Opera == abso-fuckin-lutely no chance of getting anything uploaded

    Ubuntu: 7.04
    Firefox: 2.0.0.4
    Opera: 9.2.1

    Firefox on XP works…

  9. alk said on 20 Jun 2007 at 11:05 am:

    its a pain in the ass.
    FF 2.0.0.4 under linux shows the nice ajax interface but uploading won’t work.

    then i tried the f*** konqueror. it looks ugly, but uploading works.

    after finishing it gives me the information “RSP=OK” and halts on a blank page.

    BUT UPLOADING WORKS!

    :(

    btw.: could u please fix the sets?

  10. hardskinone said on 20 Jun 2007 at 11:23 am:

    A no-go here. Ubuntu Feisty, FF; openid account.

  11. CJPhoto said on 20 Jun 2007 at 11:36 am:

    Not working on XP with Firefox.

    It downloads them but they are not showing up.

  12. Sam said on 20 Jun 2007 at 11:38 am:

    It’s working on XP with FF.

  13. kad said on 20 Jun 2007 at 12:05 pm:

    Not working here either, using Epiphany (though it uses FF engine) over Linux Fedora 7. It kills the browser mercilessly.

  14. rbnet.it said on 20 Jun 2007 at 12:07 pm:

    Not working here with ff 2.0.0.4 (or epiphany) on Linux.

  15. Ben McCloskey said on 20 Jun 2007 at 12:22 pm:

    Uploaded photos fine, but didn’t tag any of them.

    Love the new upload page.

    Mac OSX
    FF 2.0.0.4

  16. swa4mprose said on 20 Jun 2007 at 12:32 pm:

    uploading fine with FF 2.0.0.4 and MacOSX 10.3.9

    tags don’t make it.

    please fix profile so it can be changed.

  17. Nathaniel said on 20 Jun 2007 at 12:39 pm:

    When will jUploader or Picturesync be back up? I really can’t wait for that.

    uploader fine, tags won’t work (xp, FF)

  20. CY said on 20 Jun 2007 at 1:13 pm:

    Tags, tags!!! Without tags, how am I expected to sort my photos…sigh

  21. Nick said on 20 Jun 2007 at 3:08 pm:

    IE & + XP SP2, upload reach the end, redirect me to my pictures… but the uploaded picture is nowhere to be found.

  22. Ben said on 20 Jun 2007 at 3:42 pm:

    When do our favorites comes back? I miss seeing those. Recent activity is just a distant memory from the good old days of MarkII. Must. hang. on.

  23. eonsim said on 20 Jun 2007 at 6:38 pm:

    FF 2.0.0.4 under linux doesn’t work, progress page appears to load show insanely fast upload then the screen refreshes back to “your photos” page and the image doesn’t appear.

    konqueror on linux uploads a single image at a time fine, showing a blank page after the upload which says “RSP=OK”

  24. boyghost said on 20 Jun 2007 at 7:05 pm:

    Firefox on Ubuntu isn’t working; tried uploading ten different files separately. All of them sped through the upload status bar, said upload completed, then redirected my to my photos — only my recently uploaded photo wasn’t there. Hope this helps :)

  25. Angie said on 20 Jun 2007 at 9:48 pm:

    Hi there :)

    I uploaded my pics public but the system changed them to privat.

    I tried to change it several times but it doesn’t work out.

    What can I do???

  28. Florian said on 21 Jun 2007 at 2:03 am:

    @ Angie - your probably using Opera, i have the same problem, just use firefox for uploading or change the private settings to –>public with firefox. liebe Grüße, Florian

  29. Angie said on 21 Jun 2007 at 2:31 am:

    Hi Florian,

    thanks for you fast answer. :)

    I tried to change them to public but it didn’t work out. :(

    Now I changed them to private (friends) and now they are public!!! Isn’t that funny?!!

    I just don’t know now, if they are really public…

    PS: @ Floian

    What is Opera??

  31. John Lam said on 21 Jun 2007 at 2:49 am:

    Thomas, thanks for bumping up this issue!

    As of a few minutes ago, both Firefox 2.0.0.4 and Safari 2.0.2 on OS X 10.4.3 still cannot upload. All seems okay, until my photo page loads, when i then see nothing new: no new photo, same as before. I did notice one difference though, in the file-upload dialog box, file types such as TIFF are grayed out, preventing accidental selection for upload.

    John

  32. stockwerk23 said on 21 Jun 2007 at 4:15 am:

    Works fine for me except tagging sometimes… XP, FF 2.0.0.4

  33. gogogo said on 21 Jun 2007 at 6:28 am:

    Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Debian Sid

    I can upload photo, but when the process is over, it shows: RSP=OK and don’t return to zooomr pages.

  34. zhu said on 21 Jun 2007 at 6:29 am:

    @Angie: Use Firefox to change them to Public.

    Opera is a browser, like Firefox.

    If you do not know what is Firefox, google it up and update it to the latest version to use Zooomr more carefully.

  35. PT said on 21 Jun 2007 at 7:54 am:

    I have the same problem as Florian. When using Opera 9.21, the privacy setting goes from public to private and can’t be changed back to public. This problem although was there with MarkII too, as at least I couldn’t change privace setting from public to private with Opera.

    This is now getting really user-friendly and almost Mac-like (;D) when not having jUploadr to upload files and having to use Firefox for upload.

  36. Shane G. said on 21 Jun 2007 at 8:22 am:

    Don’t know if this is an error on my side or yours, but 3 files in the batch upload say ‘Upload failed (Read/Write Error).’

    Using Firefox 2.0.0.4 on OS X 10.4.10.

  37. ludmilla said on 21 Jun 2007 at 8:42 am:

    I’ve got the same problem as Jimmy: I can upload (FF + XP), but nothing shows up

  38. tomikk said on 21 Jun 2007 at 9:22 am:

    Uploading problem still persist.
    Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn + Epiphany 2.18.1 (or Firefox 2.0.0.4) - return to “photos page” but no photos uploaded.
    Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn + Links2 (console browser) shows blank page with RSP=OK. Photos sometimes are uploaded, sometimes not.

  39. Florian said on 21 Jun 2007 at 9:36 am:

    @PT , Angie solved the problem. you can change the private settings with opera- but if you want the file public, you have to select the file as private - and if you want a file private, you have select it as public. i don’t know why but this works quit good.

  40. Drazick said on 21 Jun 2007 at 9:55 am:

    Hello…
    Where can we send feedbacks?

    I would like to see a field for a picture description and Yahoo immigration tool.

    Ahh… And Sets, regular sets.

    Thanks.

  41. PT said on 21 Jun 2007 at 11:25 am:

    @Florian, Thanks I missed that one when reading the comments.

    Even though I am quite amazed by the fact that the bulk uploading is not yet possible. I’m not a programming expert but it shouldn’t be that hard to accomplish or am I wrong?

  42. Rafael said on 21 Jun 2007 at 11:31 am:

    I cannot upload.
    Win XP, Firefox 1.5.0.12
    The whole process seems to work, but my picture does not appear in the end.

  43. OffBeatMammal said on 21 Jun 2007 at 11:59 am:

    still having problems with images marked as Private and unable to change them to Public :(

  44. CJPhoto said on 21 Jun 2007 at 12:06 pm:

    worked with XP and Firefox but my tags didn’t stick (the ones on the input form, not IPTC). Very annoying. Now have untagged photos!!

  45. qwerty said on 21 Jun 2007 at 1:02 pm:

    When I upload by newest Firefox on XP only some pics are being sent (it says that for example pic 1,2,3 are “Completed” but on my Zooomr there’s no pic 1,2 sometimes it shows pic 3). Strange. Again, what about jUploader ? Any answer from developers ?

  46. gogo said on 21 Jun 2007 at 5:04 pm:

    i am waiting for jUploadr too, the developper said he was waiting for the zooomr api key. for the upload problem exist, it seems that Kris has not got it done.

  47. Pal said on 21 Jun 2007 at 9:38 pm:

    Well, when i uploaded some pics via IE, some pics got lost after the uploads finished. What’s more, the mark of Public/Private is negative: you mark your pics as Pubilc but they’re uploaded as private, vice versa. And i cannot change the online pic’s property from public to private or private to public. Wish these bugs could fly away :(.

  48. ayhc said on 22 Jun 2007 at 1:06 am:

    Still having sporadic upload problems on Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Windows XP SP2: Some files disappear after the uploads finish; in other cases tags don’t stick.

  49. sint said on 22 Jun 2007 at 1:59 am:

    works fine with XP, but nothing with linux. ff 2.0.0.3 on gentoo linux

  50. aram said on 22 Jun 2007 at 4:45 am:

    Does not work for me. I am using Xubuntu 7.04 and have tried uploading with FF 2.0.0.4 and Opera 9.20.

    Hope this helps.

  51. Itamar said on 22 Jun 2007 at 6:36 am:

    i uploaded a few photos of mine on privite and for some reason it shows that they are public and everytime i change it back to privite it doesnt save the changes and keeps them on public.
    what can i do to fix this?

  52. i love the world! said on 22 Jun 2007 at 10:20 pm:

    i tried to upload a photo but it doesnt happen! after the uploading finished, all i can see is my old pics.

    firefox 2.0.0.4
    k-meleon 1.1
    windows XP SP2

  53. Hasan Diwan said on 23 Jun 2007 at 2:19 am:

    I’m having intermittent problems uploading pics, but it seems to be fine eventually.

  54. Vlad said on 23 Jun 2007 at 5:19 am:

    Can’t upload any of my photos.
    The uploading system reads only photos in main folder, and doesn’t reads photos in sub folders.
    Using: ubuntu 7.04 with FireFox 2.0.0.4

  55. muonics said on 23 Jun 2007 at 8:19 am:

    how can you guys be releasing any language updates etc - when it is still not possible to upload images in safari and even more importantly jUploadr. Seriously, this makes the whole experience seem really fragile and pre-alpha (not beta).

  56. eonsim said on 24 Jun 2007 at 1:30 am:

    As there any update on this yet?

  57. kf said on 24 Jun 2007 at 4:31 am:

    Can’t upload a single photo with FF 2.0.0.4 on Win XP SP2?? I shall go and try with IE…

  58. Martin Taylor said on 24 Jun 2007 at 6:45 am:

    I’m trying zooomr for the first time so this is my first experience with the uploaded; Hi guys. I’m trying to upload photos from photowalking11 - some upload just fine but some repeatedly fail to upload. About half (10) uploaded but the other half refuse to appear. The uploader says that they have uploaded completely but they’re not there when I go to my images. Am I doing something wrong? I’m using XP SP2 and have tried both FF 2.0.0.4 and IE 7.0.5730.11 with the same results.

  59. moho said on 25 Jun 2007 at 2:13 am:

    same problem as several comments describe:
    ubuntu 7.04 + firefox 2.0.0.4 or epiphany (gecko engine) uploads the photos, but they aren’t available though.

  60. Mike said on 25 Jun 2007 at 5:00 pm:

    Hi,

    Maybe a little late… uploading still isn’t working for me. I’m using Firefox on Linux. The upload looks like it’s completing fine, no crashes, no errors, the image does not show up in my photostream though.

    Strange, everything looks OK except the picture disappears before I can see it…

  61. moho said on 26 Jun 2007 at 5:31 am:

    doesnt work on linux using opera 9.21.

  62. Octavio Isaac Rojas Orduña said on 26 Jun 2007 at 7:57 am:

    doesn’t work with firefox 2.0.0.4

  63. wmru said on 26 Jun 2007 at 11:06 pm:

    Ubuntu 7.04 + Firefox 2.0.0.4 Not work
    Ubuntu 7.04 + Juploadr Not work

  64. JC said on 27 Jun 2007 at 2:31 am:

    Hello,
    Is there a way to make “Mark as Private” as the default?

    What tools are there to bulk-download (from Zooomr to computer)?

    Thank you.

  65. JC said on 27 Jun 2007 at 2:57 am:

    I’m writing this after the 10:17 update, when the uploading problem is said to be gone.

    I’ve tried to do a bulk-upload of about 6 pictures. The upload stalls on the second or third. Biggest pic in group is about 1meg.

    Just like wmru, I use Firefox 2.0.0.4 and ubuntu 7.04

  66. JC said on 27 Jun 2007 at 3:01 am:

    I’ve tried uploading just one pic. The uploading bar goes to 100%, and I’ve moved to my photos page, but it doesn’t show the picture. (In fact, there are no pics on my photo page.)

    I use Firefox 2.0.0.4 and ubuntu 7.04

  67. Marianne said on 28 Jun 2007 at 4:15 am:

    I have the exact same problem and configuration as JC.

  68. Mikael said on 30 Jun 2007 at 2:30 am:

    In addition to the upload problem, I also have problems creating smart-sets. My config is Firefox 2.0.0.4 and Ubuntu 7.04.

  69. Smerlok said on 30 Jun 2007 at 10:55 pm:

    I have the same problem, the bar goes fast at 100% and no picture is uploaded this with
    Firefox 2.0.0.4 on ubuntu 7.04.

    Works on Firefox 3.0 Alpha 5 (granparadiso) on the same distro.

  70. betsubetsu said on 2 Jul 2007 at 6:48 am:

    I stil cannot upload on zooomr. I use firefox 2.0.0.4 on fedora 7. Upload does not complete to 100% and when i remove the file to upload by clicking the - sign right to it, Firefox crashes.
