MTW MOVED! READ PLEASE!

I'm not sure why.. but for the last few days when I go to the Share a pic site...I can't see the pics I have selected. I even went to some of the pics that I had viewed before and still nothing. Just a white background where the pic should be. HELP! I want to make some money for MTW!!!

Ok, the gallery uploads appear to be working now. The script that runs actually on the server itself and not within MTW wasn't loaded when I switched to the new host. I asked, they loaded it, all seems well. I don't have a video here at work to test vide uploading, but I did upload a pic and it went smooth. Let me know if you discover other issue.

And hntbarbie, as for the share-a-pic thing, sounds like their website was just experiencing some issues at the time. Let us know if you are still experiencing issues and we'll see what we can do, because if you have the issue, odds are others do too.

Yeah, I been having shareapic issues too. When I click on one of the pics it opens a new window and I can see a previous and next thumbnail. But that's it,,, most of the time.
I might get the bigger pic 1 out of 6 tries. Not just since the move,, but b4 too.
Oh,,,and they don't remember who I am,,, I can't get logged back in. And then there's a posting issue I haven't figured out. Grrrrrrr. I figured it was just something with my isp.
Most sites I go to "PDQ". But there's a couple out there I don't think allow wabbets. ;o)

Quazywabbet is having the exact same problem as me! WHOO HOO! I thought it was just me!

Haven't tried the MTW gallery today, (been busy with Kelly having surgery on her arm), but as for share-a-pic they've been having server/log in issues themselves and posted yesterday on their site, (I was gonna paste exactly what they said but I can't get logged in there right now myself), but basically they're recoding some things, changing the way the bigger pictures display to cut down on server loads and so on.

But the issues with share-a-pic are not, in any way, related to MTW.



OK I got logged in, here's what they said on share-a-pic..

Change is upon us…

Hey loyal shareapic-ers! In an effort to alleviate our current server load, and speed up the site, we are going to make a change. Starting very soon, we will be displaying a downsized pic (max 600px wide) on each of your picture pages. When you mouseover this downsized pic, there will be a little tooltip that says “zoom in.” When you click zoom in, it will open the full size pic in a new window. We are doing this for a number of reasons:

* The big imagehosts like flickr do this for a reason: to save bandwidth. The reason being this… a lot of people that come to the site don’t zoom in, they just want to see the picture. So, to force them to flip through all full size pictures does nothing but increase load time. However, for people how want to see HQ and UHQ pics, we will still give them the option to zoom in.
* This will save us about 50% on bandwidth costs, which will allow us to spend more on servers and will allow us to lean more toward a possible CPM increase in the future (keeping to our word that we will never lower the CPM, only raise it when we think we can.)
* This will reduce server load by about 30-40%, which will allow our current servers to run faster again. That coupled with new servers = super high speed!

I hope you all understand that we are doing this because it is the best possible solution to many problems. As always, feel free to post comments below
