Problems with Ampix?

[Phostenix]

Anyone else having problems uploading to ampix.org? After I upload the pic & enter the file info, clicking Continue gets me a "The website cannot display the page" error page.

I just went there, opened my gallery and opened a file as a test. The already stored file was still there and accessible. I then uploaded a copy of the Peavey JSX Mini schematic, which it accepted. I then tried to open that file, and I was able to do so. As far as I can tell, it is operating properly. Maybe you were there during system maintenance or something?

Same thing this morning. I successfully uploaded 3 jpgs last night that were under 700KB, but I have several more that are larger. It says the upload is successful, but after I enter the file info, then next screen is an error. The files don't show up in the album when this happens. I've tried just 1 file at a time and 2 at a time, but I never can complete the process.

Can you try uploading something around 1MB? Thanks.

I was just successful with a 200KB file, so it seems to be a file size issue. ????

SHould be able to upload pretty large files. We get 2Meg in the forum, and I posted entire service manuals at ampix, like 4MB and stuff.

Send tboy a PM direct, in case he doesn;t look in this section.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if he oversaw that, too.

For the moment at least, I'm baffled as to why it's not working for you. The current file size limit is 5 megabytes, and I just uploaded a 3.5 mb file from a test account with no problems. If you're using Internet Explorer, it might be worthwhile to try a different browser like Firefox or Chrome.

I'm using IE with no trouble.

Try clearing your cookies maybe? REminds me, I gotta clear my temp files here.

I'm using IE8 on Windows 7. I just tried it on Firefox & got a blank page after the file info page.

I'll attach screenshots:
1. File uploaded in IE8
2. Error page in IE8 after clicking Continue
3. Blank page in Firefox after clicking Continue

Same thing on my Vista laptop with IE8:

Same thing with IE8 on an XP SP3 machine. I'll try it from work tomorrow to see if that makes any difference.

I am a total dummy when it comes to computers, so take what I say with a grain of salt. ANy chance your ISP is the problem somehow? If all your different systems at home don;t work, that might be the one consistent element.

I see Windows7 and Vista, you are a new systems guy. I am using XP.

That's why I'd like to try at work tomorrow. Although, I did try last night while logged into our VPN, so that should take any filters from my ISP out of the picture. We'll see. I may have to try emailing you or tboy a file to see if it's the files.

Yeah, I'm a technology guy. I'm shopping for a guitar with a Roland 13 pin connector now....

Same result at work. I guess I'll use Photoshop to compress the files.
