PixyBlog Discussion

This is the message I get :
"Error saving photo"
I have been doing everything as usual, filling the fields, selecting a photo, etc.
I noticed that after selecting a photo, I don't see the thumbnail as usual.
Something's seems to be wrong on the server.

Thanks.

Hi Jacques,

Apologies, the watermarking of images is currently broken from the latest system update. We're working on it right now and we should have it up-and-running again soon.

If you disable watermarking then the uploads should work fine. I have just done this for your blog (Photos > Watermarks > Disable Watermarking) and the image in your Upload Queue has now completed.

I'll post an update here when it's working again.

Cheers,

Richard

Just an update to say that watermarking has now been restored. So for those who have disabled watermarking can now re-enable it (Photos > Watermarks > Enable Watermarking). There is still an issue with creating a new watermark. We're working to resolve this.

Cheers,

Richard

Very good job Richard. Keep up the good work !
Thanks.

Just testing the watermarking again this morning and it appears to be broken again. It appears to be intermittent and is related to the slow uploading of new images. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. We're pretty sure that when we fix the slow image uploading that this problem will be resolved as well. For now though we recommend that users disable watermarking temporarily until we resolve these issues (you can always go back a re-watermark the images).

I can't get this to work either. PixyBlog claims my current entry is watermarked, but it isn't.

I have some other non-watermarked images, but get an "Unexpected Exception", when I try to watermark them. Is this also part of the same speed issue?

Thanks!

Just an update. As of today the watermarking of photos has now been restored. You can go-back and watermark any of your existing photos by selecting the photo in Photos > Manage and then clicking the Watermark Photo button.

Any problems, let us know.

Cheers,

Richard
