I've been having problems uploading for awhille now. Was hoping with the new server that would be corrected, but noooo, now it's worse. First I get a message "security token is missing" whatever the hell that means. So i try again 1 at a time , "upload failed" each time. Try another computer, same thing. Now, while writing this I try to apply the WTF Smiley and it wants to post at the beginning, not where I want it :sad: VERY frustrating...HELP

I have a new mega computer with windows 7 64 bit.
I have the new office 2010 home and busniess and all the lastes software form Auto Cad and other design companies.
I can't get the ****** thing to work either.
Are you running on the 32 bit system. Could that be the hang up. If so do I need to convert back form 64 to 32?
All the new computers are going to 64 bit. ????????

I know I am old but I have been using the computers for 25 ears. I even went back to collage to keep up. They still do things I can't figure out. LOL
It is not always the dummy running the computer. Programs hang up.
For the longest time the Google tool bar hung up with Windows xp and Vista. I got that worked out.
Other tool bars keep things form working. Some programs do the same. Old computers can run so slow they will not process the new programs fast enought and lock things out.

I got one Terra bite HD and 12 meg ram with high end graphics. My puter is mega fast. It is a quad core running at 2.4

If anyone gets it figured out send me a pm to let me know what you did to get it working.
Thanks.

I'm getting the same "Upload File Failed" message also. I've tried on two different computers (one 32bit with IE8 and one 64 bit with IE9) and three different internet connections. I've uploaded a number of pictures previously with no problems. I don't think anything has changed on my end and it sounds like others are having trouble as well. Is there a support / admin that can be notified? I'm fairly new to the site but this is the first time I've had any trouble.....

Re: Cant upload pictures -- ***SOLVED***

****SOLVED**** (For me anyway!). I use Picasa from Google to edit pictures from my camera and then export them to my album on GJ. Normally I choose to reduce the size of the pics to 800 pixels and that puts them within the size limit specified by the admins of this site. After posting above I went and looked at the size of the pics I was trying to upload and they were all around 3MB (much larger than the 146k limit). I went back into Picasa and somehow my default export size had changed to a much higher image quality and hence larger file size. I re-exported the pics I was having trouble with and they all uploaded with out a problem. So if you're experiencing the problem identified above, try reducing the size of your pics and try again....Worked for me!!

Dont know what changed but....IMG_0900.jpg

This took 10 minutes and only the one picture would load (1 out of 3). I posted a pic earlier off the net, took 'bout 3 seconds :headscrat

Last summer I spilled a cup of hot coffee on my Toshiba Lap Top with Windows XP. It appeared shot, so I bought a new Toshiba with Windows 7. Windows 7 is the biggest ************* I have ever bought, it is not an improvement over XP. Windows 7 is so bad, I had a new keypad and extra monitor installed on my old XP and put the Windows 7 in the closet until I can find some fool to buy it.
