Trouble With The Upload - Please Feedback Here
written by recurving on February 20th, 2009 , 28 comments (3 votes)

If you have had trouble uploading images to your home or submitting to the magazine then please let us know some more details so that we can pinpoint the problem. What browser do you use? Which operating system do you have installed? What exactly happens?

Some things that might help you troubleshoot the problem:

  • Is the latest version of the Flash Player installed?
  • Is JavaScript activated?
  • Are you using a modern browser ? As big our nostalgic love for the Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 1.5 is – using a modern browser will help a lot…

If there are any other questions open, you want to give us feedback or just say hi: let us know in the comments!

    Yes filter function does not work for me a either. Also not a huge problem but the cancel button "floats" over the list of uploads rather than moving to the end of the page. Windows xp. Latest version of firefox with updated flash. Hope this helps

    I've been trying to upload a camera review, but every time I submit, it sends me to the page with the picture of the broken lc-a.
    I'm using the latest version of safari on a mac.

    No general troubles for uploading shots, but the same little bugs for the "tags" search when you want to submit a shot from your lab at the bottom of a post... and as dogma, same thing for the "Lubitel shoot from the hip" rumble, I can see my submitted shots in the bottom of the page, but not in the gallery...

    I was able to submit a comment for the Signs rumble but not a photo. Also I've been getting lots of error messages on the beta site at various, random times. WIndows with Google Chrome.

    Hi just tried uploading to rumbles that should still be accessable ? I'm on a Mac leopard, using the latest Safari and Firefox 3.0.05 with all upgrades. I could comment but the buttons were not visible!

    Oh nooooo! I just wrote a camera review but when I submitted "something went wrong" in future I'll save my text somewhere else first, I'm so disappointed ;(

    When I Upload to the beta, the upload works, but then my browser crashes. On my beta home, when I write info tags to my photos, each time I save something, my browser crashes. When I wrote a comment to a beta home, I got a "something went wrong" and the comment was submitted twice. I wrote a film review, it submitted successfully, but the browser crashed (the review is for Efke 820ir). The review was published. The bugs seem to be both in Flash and JAVA. The computer was assembled in March 2000 and upgraded a bit over time. It now contains an Athlon 1ghz and 768mb main ram on an Asus k7m motherboard, 2 80mb hd's, a Nvidia 5200 128mb video card, a SB Live! sound card, a US Robotics hardware modem, and an Intel 100t NIC. The last 2 are in ISA slots, so winxp is not a possible upgrade. The OS is win2k sp4 with all the upgrades MS will provide, and the browser is ie6, likewise with all the sp's and upgrades. Please fix the code. I can't afford a new computer yet. Thanx.

    i dont seem to experience any problem in beta.lomography. i just wished that the specifications for uploading photos at lomography.com would be the same as the beta.lomo requirements

    I have the same problem of Neja, in Horizon vertical and the diana squares.
    I was using Safari for win 3.2.1 and now i'm trying with firefox 3.0.6 and is the same thing.

    Windows XP. Latest versions of firefox and flash. Javascript enabled.
    I can't create albums at all. My images disappear every time I move them from my Unsorted folder to a new album. I can upload the photos successfully. I can create new albums and tag photos in the Selections tab, but when I navigate back to my Albums tab all the images disappear. Plus, my homepage was down all day (I got the "we're sorry" page) until just now (I wanted to check before leaving this comment)-- it has just reappeared.

    I'm using firefox 3 on both windows & linux.
    - I can add pics to labs fine.
    - I can't upload a profile picture.
    - I submitted a lomolocation yesterday, but after uploading the pics was fine, I clicked "next" (or "submit" or whatever it was), then was taken to the error page. No idea if my lomolocation was submitted, and I don't want to keep resubmitting in case it actually went through and i'm gonna end up pissing someone off.

    I'm quite happy to work with devs to help them reproduce the error, or to try anything on my end to get to the bottom of this issue.

    I can't upload a camera review, tried several times, on both Mac/Safari and PC/Firefox, is there somewhere I can email this review?

    I'm having trouble submitting a film review (not the first time), and I'd also like to be able to email my reviews whenever the submit function is out of whack...

    Still unable to submit to the film section. A different issue: When selecting photos from the lab for submission to a competition, it doesn't seem logical to also display the photos in the trash folder. It's very easy to accidentally pick one and you can't undo it!

    Using updated version of flash and firefox, same exact problem as user: hbhatia. I can upload, create folder, move images, but when I go to my home, there is nothing in the folder. Sometimes the images disappear completely, sometimes they're listed under 'photos' on my home (though not albums), but inaccessible in the lab. They're not in any folder (unsorted or trash) either...

    just an update: same thing happens with IE, I also can't upload an avatar. Got two albums to stick, but that was maybe out of 15 tries...

    An update: I'm still having problems submitting reviews to the film section. Turns out the problem occurs when you choose "other" as film type!

  • cinzinc

    Update, i don't have problems uploading. BUT, when I click on the "selection" section of my lab, it takes forever to load (meaning, it just shows a loading symbol). This just happened today...and its still happening at this very moment. Help please?
