Ideas on why I can't upload pics

And how the heck are poeple uploading from phones?

 

Do you have a Social Media Photosharing device? E.G. photobucket, Flikr and all that jazz?

 

I've had similar issues uploading photos. When I've tried it's just posted a link to the photo.
I think I was using Flicr.
Perhaps the size of the file you're loading is too large??

 

It absolutely has to be 150x300 and less than 20kb.

If it differs, even slightly from that, it is rejected, based on my few attempts in the past to upload pics.

 

Upload to photobucket, copy the [ i m g ] tagged code and paste here

 

You only need Photobucket/Flickr/etc. type image hosting sites if you want to post images to the forums. Images for places and beers don't need a image hosting site because the BA website actually hosts those itself (hence why beers/places have an upload tool compared to just a place to insert a hyperlink for images on forums). So Photobucket and the like aren't going to help you with the problem you've described here.

@markdrinksbeer has the right of it--your problem is likely the file being larger than 20kb or not being exactly 150x300 pixels in size. Those are the only two things I'm aware of that will reject the photos from even being uploaded.*

*source: I've uploaded 25 or so pics

 

And from personal experience, sometimes 20kb also gets rejected. It's better to go with lower 19kbs.

@Brenden This exactly. If my pic won't upload it is the wrong dimensions or size. Use http://www.resizeyourimage.com/ to make it easy.

 

Found a new brewery, that wasn't on BA yet. Was able to "add" the place/beer and rate, but can't figure out how to upload a picture for either the "place" or the "beer". Anyone had this problem before? Or, do you have any advice?

thanks,

Thanks for the help...here is what I found out in addition to what you all mentioned.

Pretty sure this sums it up:
- Image size must be under 20 Kb.
- For "Places", Image size must be exactly 150x200 (Height x Width)
- For "Beers", Image size must be exactly 300x150 (Height x Width)

And, I've got to say that pixlr.com was the easiest way to make that happen.
Thanks for the help and advice.

 

I'm trying to upload a picture of selfies are for wieners and I'll go through the process to pick a photo but after I choose upload, it says no photo was uploaded. What am I doing wrong?

 

It's probably too big. I started making mine 19kB because it's so picky.

 

It was 150x300 for the beer pic. resizeyourimage.com worked nicely. I did keep it under 20k. Thanks for the help!

 

Thanks for that- it's the only one that worked for me with respect to the file size. Irfanview, which I normally use, was driving me absolutely crazy.

 

If you download the plug-in, you can then set the filesize under "save as", set it to 19.5 kb
