Hint for all about posting problems.

8 years ago

I have had no problems posting. I start with a comment like this. I then click on a photo, post it, then comment on the photo, and it all flows smoothly from there.

    I don't even have a place to start a post.

    I am assuming when you click on your photo, it comes up clear and in focus? I think Maryl described it best when she said hers (and mine also) looks like you are looking at the picture through a screen door when you click on it and post it. It is not blurry but has a gray overlay on it. If I send it through like that, only my comments will show up. If I post it through a comment section, the photo comes up clear and will post.

    I can do that sometimes, other times not. Makes no difference on my computer, softeware, etc. Others can post fine. There are times when I have not problems, others are having problems that have previously had no problems. Computer gremlins.

    To Flower Girl: Go to the daylilies page in garden web and start typing in 'Start a discussion'.

    I did try that signet, it worked!

    Oh good . glad to hear it worked for you .

    signet - Good tip! I'll try it. I just got the grayed out pic over and over today.

    I hope it works for you. I have clicked up, out, around, standing upside down, eyes closed, backwards and every other thing I can think of and it still won't clear the gray. I have had my IT brother to look (and he thinks he knows everything about computers, programming, etc. and always thinks it is just me) and even he left in disgust with me calling after him "Wait, what do you mean, you can't fix this?" He was muttering something about "idiot programmers" or something to that effect.....I think I may be glad I did not catch the whole phrase!!

    I still think it is computer gremlins, intent on making me crazy. Or more likely, programmers are sitting somewhere, laughing their butts off.

    I am so sorry, I should have told you this before,, but I noted it fro the beginning of the problems.. If you wait a short time it the fade will sharped normally. If it doesn't click to add the next photo and that usually makes it clear, although it may still delay biut almost always it clears. If the photo is complex (gardening shots or a very detailed group)it takes longer to complete the load. As said earlier, the comment phtots do not go through the "fade" phase. I can be slow so I thought everyone else had figured it out before me.

    I think someone did mention this, Kay, but this does not work for me either. I think Maryl said something about waiting ten minutes and it still did not sharpen. That is what mine does as well-never sharpens. Clicking on the next photo also does not make it sharpen for me--I just have two gray pictures then. It is a major quandry-just as some people are able to post with no problems. And then, wham, like Debra, no more posting without problems for a while. I usually check it prior to posting by creating a fake post and checking photo but I have yet to have one come up sharp or go from fade to sharp. What a mess.

    As a retired computer geek, I can sympathize with all of you. Keep nagging. I have seen a lot of 'idiot programmer' results in my day. One of the worst designs is the cultivar inquire page on the AHS web site where one on a pc has to scroll down to enter the name and to see the results.

    Kay - Your ploy of clicking to add the next photo did not work for me yesterday or today.
