All About Pocket Knives

I up-load my photos from PhotoBucket and it works every time. You need to upload a file with a .img for it to work, I think.

Have not had any problems with photos for 3-4 years. I do use Photo Bucket on other forums where they charge a fee for posting photos direct. A problem with Photo Bucket is when you remove your pics from there they also go away from your post on AAPK. This sort of sucks when a person is doing some research and the old photo is no longer present.
There is a place where you can elect auto logon.

I'm wondering what format the camera stores the pictures on with a floppy disc? Is it a .jpeg or an older obsolete format that is not being recognized? I ask that because I can only store 1 picture on a floppy using a 4 Mega pixel camera. Pictures can be reformatted if that is the case.

Hukk,

My 10 year old Mavica uses jpeg. I can store at least 25 pics on one floppy.

As you take pics and delete them you can store less and less, till the disc won`t work anymore. This is the main problem with these discs.

I have had some fail after just a couple weeks of use.



M.B.

I've had those damn floppy discs fail right out of the box. I still have my old Mavica, but it doesn't get used anymore.

Phil, check the file format. Some programs ( Kodak Easyshare P.O.S. comes to mind) store the pics in their own file formats, (NOT .jpg format) and like Pete said, check the size too. I have no idea what the size limit is for the forum. I use photo bucket for most all of my images.

IF you can't her sorted, email me one of the pics and I'll see what I can figure out.

Anyone else having the same problem, from reading different posts it seems I am not alone.
I have contacted Bryan about it. If you are having problems post it here!

You may have something there. I know I am out dated using a 3.5" floppy, but my old camera takes such good pictures I can`t bring myself to get rid of it! To answer your question yes, I have a dial up internet connection. I also store pictures in "my documents", and if I try to upload from there I have problems as well. Recently I cleaned my computer of all the old junk that usually slows things down, and it has had a good affect. It has helped matters but not cured everything.
I may need to get DSL and a new camera, but will that cure the constant "signin" problem
Thanks to everyone for your help and input

Staying logged on with a dial up. Well, that makes me think you have a time out error. I remember back when I used dialup (around 2001) that I had the same problem. I checked the default setting on my modem that I had been trying to send a large 4 Mb file. I finally reset the modem timeout setting to 5 minutes and that solved the problem. The "potential problem" today is that the server that AAPK is on may have a less than 5 minute timeout - it may even be just a minute but that should be enough time if you can get 25 pictures on a floppy because that makes each picture about 56k which is not all that large.

There should be more than one phone number for your dialup from your ISP. Make sure you use as many as you can - local of course. I like to have the dial up set at 115200 as my maximum port speed. It's been a while since I've played with dial up though.

Another thing to check is how much RAM (memory) you are using. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete (same time) to start the task manager and click on the performance tab. I see that I am using 1.31GB and that is 75% of my physical memory. If you go above 75% of physical memory - you eventually lose speed. 90% will present problems! I will be adding RAM soon. All those updates from Microsoft sure add up after a couple years. Since cleaning has helped some this may be an area to look into. If don't have enough RAM - eventually you will be using a section on your hard drive called the page file. You will be very slow because RAM speed is very fast compared to a hard drive that may be turning at 7500 RPM or so at best. On one PC I have SATA (serial ATA) hard drives that run at 12,000 RPM and that is a FAST beast. I built that in 2003 and it is still faster than most of the PC's that you can buy today.

Well, there are a few ideas for a dropped signal. If I can help with this techie stuff just let me know.

No problems to report here I upload mine from a folder in my documents with no trouble whatsoever Razor

had probs all day today ta get my pics up in the tradein' forum!!!! i think 2 or 3 ppl said they had probs last week in the tradein' forum too....??????????????????

What's up with the new pixel size this is the first time it has happened to me????Did something change??

Hey, dogg. If this is what you're talking about, I think I'm pretty safe in saying that's caused by Bryan putzin' around with the software and that's caused by a parameter setting in the forum software. We had a similar problem a few weeks ago when he moved the forum to another server and we had issues with image sizes until he changed it. Relax, he'll get it.

OK thanx Jerry I spent an hour trying to change pixels

A dog I have noticed in the last few days that I can only post two pics at a time. I think it has to do with the resolution size of my pis. Try reducing the resolution on any new pics you take from your phone. If the pics are already on your phone you may have to resize the pixels on those with a resize app.

Guys, this is a very old topic.
If you notice the OP is May 2009, over eight years ago.
We've changed servers at least twice since then and change the whole operating program as well.

I just uploaded for large unedited pictures have a Camillus Streamline that I need to repair.
If you look close you can see the celluloid is starting to dimple at the prongs near the bolsters. This is a sure sign that the celluloid is shrinking.
I pulled the celluloid off to prevent damage to the knife. These pictures are taken by an eight megapixel camera with no editing. The file size of the first picture is 3.2 MB, the second is 3 MB and the third is 3.5 MB. These pictures uploaded with no problems.

From my Android phone

I hadn’t really posted from my phone before but it was easier than I thought.
This is the sequence of steps I followed posting from my Android phone.
My phone is an LG Stylo II Plus.

1- Hit the post reply button
2- I posted a line of text.
3- I hit the attachment below the text box.
4- Hit the add files button.
5- Choose the camera icon.
6- Take the picture.
7- Click okay.
8-I placed the cursor below my line of text and pushed the Place Inline button.
9-I press the submit button

If you haven't discovered it yet, there is a forum with a bunch of tutorials on how to do stuff like this. It's here highlighted in blue. If you're having trouble doing something, always look there first. If what you're trying to do isn't covered, send a PM to me and I'll try to whip up a tutorial on the subject. In there is a thread named "Posting Pictures From A Smart Phone". That thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=98&t=48561
Try it out.

I have dropped my phone on numerous occasions lately. That could be my problem.

I cannot get my pictures to load today. I see an 'Alert" ? triangle and when i click on it get this message "Error parsing server response".
Anyone else having this problem today ?

Apparently the server was down last night. I don't know exactly what happened, I have not had a chance to talk to Bryan yet.
I am on my Android phone and the display is not right in Chrome yet. I need to try Internet Explorer and Chrome on my PC and see if they are working properly. Hopefully I can permission will be helpful to Bryan.

Dangit still can't post pictures. Can't get em small enough. I hate complaining because it's such a great forum but I gotta show off my old Shapleigh. Lol. Any suggestions? Thanks y'all.

Yes. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=64045

Pics are a no go for me on my android.

I seem to be having an issue trying to upload pictures. I keep getting a error that it couldn't verify the dimensions of the image. Anyone else encounter this?
