freezing when Uploading Photos

[Foxer]

I expect this is all me, but when I Paste an image that I Copied Image from my Fotki account it goes into the upload queue and seems to stop. I let it sit 5 mins. on a 500kb file. This all started soon after the last software update, which I understand didn't work.

It seems like this has happened before and was a simple fix, so I ask all you again!  ))

I flagged so Dave can look into it.

I had the same problem as well.  The way I got around this was to open Fotki in another browser and then drag the pictures into MCM.  Not convenient on a laptop, but it worked.

What browsers and operating system are you all using? 

I tested that on Chrome and Windows 10. It worked fine for both drag and drop and copy paste.

This image was pasted from a random web site. 

 

Right now, I suspect there's a browser/Windows combination that isn't working. This is subject to change according to the dictates of reality.

I got a 404 error "page not found" this afternoon when I tried to start a topic with a link to Fotki pic. Tried 3 times before giving up. Mac OS 10.14 Mojave using Safari, don't recall what version but it would be recent because the computer is new.

That's a surprise. Thanks. It seems to have something to do with the message content. Try posting the first half of your message, and see if that makes a difference.

In the past I switched to Chrome because it was less problematic than Safari, so I'll explore that too.

I use Firefox, latest version and Windows 10.  I'll try Chrome but I don't want to leave Firefox for something so simple to do.

 

edit: I tried uploading from Fotki using Chrome and it doesn't upload   gets stuck in a queue. I was able to upload directly from my photo editor usine Copy function. Using Copy Image function from Fotki like forever in the past doesn't work from either browser

Copy and Paste from Fotki using Windows 10 and current Firefox.

That worked, Guess I just have to modify how I get from Fotki now.

 

Thanks Michal
