    Default Trouble uploading photos

    Yesterday, I couldn't upload any photos. The uploader would go through the motions but instead of the photos (or photo, I tried one individualy as well) I got the little box that I can never identify that usually means picture unavailable. Today it was working and I was able to load the same photos that failed yesterday. Then I went on to the next ones, it happened again. Never one to give up easily I persisted. It continued to fail only after a few atempts I stopped even getting the symbol. Now it just goes through the motions without adding anything. Is it E-bid or is it my computer that's doing it?

    I have found it to be the ebid website being temporarily overloaded, images need a lot more bandwidth than text. If it is an intermittent problem it is not likely to be a problem at your end.

    As bill says, it's usually temporary. If I have a problem I usually cancel the up-load, fill in the rest of the form and try again. Often just those few minutes are all it takes to work OK.

    If I'm up and about I often do listings in "off-peak" hours -- early mornings or late at night, when things are quiet.

    Problem fixed, we've added expanded our disk space so it doesn't happen again.

    Thanks guys, it's a newish computer so I got a bit worried that I'd bought a lemon when nobody else was mentioning it.
