Error Message when Uploading Images

[admiralzex]

Good evening,

It seems that there is an error message cropping up whenever I attempt to upload an image into the game database. Specifically, I have been trying to upload cartridge photographs for Tron: Deadly Discs and Video Pinball (both for the Atari 2600) through images that I have taken with my scanner and copies of the games. However, whenever I attempt to upload an image the page moves to a blank screen with simply the message "Could not copy."

I must admit that I am quite new to this website, so it is certainly possible that I am doing something wrong which is causing the bug. The images are both .jpg and larger than 200x200 pixels. I have also tried the upload on multiple internet browsers, just in case that was causing the issue. I do have several other games for the Atari 2600 for which there are no cartridge images in the database. Hopefully if this issue can be fixed I can continue to contribute to this project.

Regards,

There is something wrong with the uploader. A glitch probably?

How big are the scans? Both file size and dimensions, I mean.

I don't think it would produce an error, but I know we don't support PNG image at the moment. Only JPEG. Ill have to do some testing, but it could be a file size issue.

Scott, the images I tried to upload are the same as the dozens of others I previously uploaded. Size and format wasn't an issue for me at least.

Hmm k. I'm out of the house right now. But ill see what I can find out asap.

nvm... can't del post! blah!

How big are the scans? Both file size and dimensions, I mean.

Video Pinball is 912x1140 and Tron is 938x1340. Both are .jpg.

Good to hear that things are being worked on. I also have another question about these images, if that's alright. Some of the games that I own have various forms of markings on them: labels, people's names written in pen, rips and tears on the label and the like. For such games, should I still upload my scanned image or simply leave the entry with no image instead?

[pceslayer]

IMO I say upload away! better to have a marked/sticker/torn image than no image.

As long as its not stolen from another site that is... lol

[scott]

Yep uploaded em! They caj always be updated If someone down the road has a better looking version.

I'm getting a bunch of "warning" lines now.

[scott]

I'm scanning some images in right now to do some testing. Is it only when you edit? or when you are submitting as well?

[foxhack]

I got a "Could not copy" error while adding a game a few minutes ago, too.

I was editing games just fine earlier today; and I added four games too. So I dunno what's up.

[scott]

Interesting. I got the Could Not Copy error too, but it pushed out the new item submission.

Good news! I just uploaded the disc image for http://vgcollect.com/item/19900

Originally I got the Could Not Copy error, but then I resized it to 200px wide and it took it. Maybe it's something to do with the code that automatically resizes the image when you upload them?
