Posting photos in album problem

delta-419 · #1 08-18-2017, 05:55 PM

I have attempted to post photos in my album, which only has a total of 4 so far, and I keep getting a security token error message. Don't know what the problem is, please explain.

You need to tell us what you are using - computer or phone. if phone, Android or Apple? If computer, what kind - Windows or Mac, and what browser? Also helps to know where you are trying to post from - the computer or a third party site? The more info you give the easier it is to help.

I am using a Gateway computer with Windows 10 Home with a 64 bit operating systemx64-based processer. Transfering photos stored on the computer to my album, browsing directly from the computer "photos". My security system is thru Webroot. No 3rd party transfers. It worked for the first 4 photos but then started with error messages.

Since it started while you were uploading pictures, and had successfully loaded 4, I would start by clearing your browser's cache. Something may have happened during one of the uploads that Webroot didn't like. Unfortunately, when you clear the cache, you will have to redo any site/forum logins that may have been automatic, but as long as you remember to click the "remember me" box, this should only happen once for each site. I'm not familiar with Webroot but most security programs have the ability to manually list sites as 'safe', so I would also try doing that for this forum.

Which browser are you using?

I have been using Google as my main browser. I managed to post 2 more photos last night by doing only one at a time. It does not like to do more than one at a time. But, that will work, only it takes forever.

Easiest I find is using my phone. Tapatalk is pretty much the easiest to post pics. Ymmv

It sounds like a compatibility problem between Google and the forum. You might consider trying a different browser and see if the problem persists. I've been using Firefox with no issues, but I haven't tried to upload things to my album. Should only take around 15 minutes to load and see if it takes care of the problem. If not, you can always uninstall it.

I wonder if there is a limit that you have exceeded on your personal photo gallery.

I assume that you contributed to the forum in the past. Only members with an active donation subscription have album privileges and yours has expired.

Any photos that you loaded while you were a contributing member are still there, but they can't be viewed (not even by the moderators) until you re-up.

Thanks for the help in resolving my issues with posting album photos, that worked out well. Now, I have most of my gun photos at Photobucket and no way to post them without paying $399 to do so. The photos are also in my desktop PC. Is there a way to post them directly from my computer when I write a post? Or respond to a post. Perhaps there should be a sticky on how to post photos and maybe a list of acceptable storage sites for same. I am an old guy that hates PCs and the mule they rode here on. But, progress is progress!! Need your help.

There are many ways. How I do it is go to postimage.io then find the photo file in my computer and bring it into postimage and then over on the right side (third button up) click on that button, see copied and then come back to my posting block in this forum and right click and paste. Nothing to it.

The photo file is in my computer and has never been copied to any other file; just brought into postimage and moved to here.

Yes, you can load photos directly from your computer, using the "manage attachments" button.

Instructions are in the FAQ's. Here's a direct link to the relevant part (click on it): Attachments and Images
