Uploading Troubles
by Thomas Hawk | 20 June 2007 | Announcements | 70 Comments
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.
yeah i just tried uploading with firefox on linux and it threw my browswer down

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…
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?
A no-go here. Ubuntu Feisty, FF; openid account.
Not working on XP with Firefox.
It downloads them but they are not showing up.
It’s working on XP with FF.
Not working here either, using Epiphany (though it uses FF engine) over Linux Fedora 7. It kills the browser mercilessly.
Not working here with ff 2.0.0.4 (or epiphany) on Linux.
Uploaded photos fine, but didn’t tag any of them.
Love the new upload page.
Mac OSX
FF 2.0.0.4
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.
When will jUploader or Picturesync be back up? I really can’t wait for that.

uploader fine, tags won’t work (xp, FF)
Tags, tags!!! Without tags, how am I expected to sort my photos…sigh
IE & + XP SP2, upload reach the end, redirect me to my pictures… but the uploaded picture is nowhere to be found.
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.
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”
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
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.

i can upload some photos and they showed in my photo pages.

i do not know why.is my photo’s issue? i do not think so
window vista
ff 2.0.0.4
need i zip my photo and upload somewhere to let you guys take a look?
@ 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
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??
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.

Works fine for me except tagging sometimes… XP, FF 2.0.0.4
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.
@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.
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.
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.
I’ve got the same problem as Jimmy: I can upload (FF + XP), but nothing shows up
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.
@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.
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.
@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?
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.
still having problems with images marked as Private and unable to change them to Public
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!!
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 ?
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.
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 :(.
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.
works fine with XP, but nothing with linux. ff 2.0.0.3 on gentoo linux
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.
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?
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
I’m having intermittent problems uploading pics, but it seems to be fine eventually.
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
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).
As there any update on this yet?
Can’t upload a single photo with FF 2.0.0.4 on Win XP SP2?? I shall go and try with IE…
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.
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.
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…
doesnt work on linux using opera 9.21.
doesn’t work with firefox 2.0.0.4
Ubuntu 7.04 + Firefox 2.0.0.4 Not work
Ubuntu 7.04 + Juploadr Not work
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.
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
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
I have the exact same problem and configuration as JC.
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.
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.
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.
