Uploading shots are IMPOSSIBLE !!
 
Hi Friends
Many of you know me,i have posted many shots to this lovely international photography site.Recently i noticed that i can see your shots and write my comments,but can not upload a shot,it seems that our NICE!! government has blocked posting shots to WPF too !!
I tried ANTIFILTER to overcome this problem,but could not do it....
I am writing this just to inform you how Lucky!! we are here in Iran !!
with best wishes and greetings from a BLOCKED country,Mohamad.:confused:

Mohamad,

I am very sorry to hear this. Your photos are not only original but often they provide an insight to real Iran.

I am sure others feel the same way.

Hi Mohamad,

I agree with Foxy. We can only hope that the Iranian authorities realise that they are harming their international image by this sort of action.

Trusting that all is well with you.

Mohamad, I too enjoy your pictures, they give a great insight into your country, they broaden my knowledge and teach me much. I hope this situation is soon resolved.

What a great shame, politics screws everything up. I also learnt a lot about your country simply by looking at your photographs, I will miss them.

Chris 23-09-08 17:13

before we conclude this as definitive & government action, I see 'shahabalishahi' was posting upto yesterday, am trying to contact Mohamad by email, as others may also be

miketoll 23-09-08 19:09

Well, if it is true I am greatly saddened and feel the Iranian Authorities are doing themselves a great disservice. All the best Mohamad.

Sorry to hear you can't post any of your wonderful photos of your country Mohamad, I have missed them. I do hope it can be sorted soon so you can be an active member again.
Take care.

I feel the same as other friends here.

Please listen carefully to Chris first. If others can send may be your computer or internet service provider are at fault. So would be good to try to send picture from a different location, say at work or a friends home. I hope that is the cause and you may need some new patch or updating your browser etc. Otherwise it is not clear to me why a Government wants to stop one person to send routine pictures when many photography sites such as Akkasee.com etc are filled with tones of images daily and are accessible from everywhere. Are you able to load picture for local sites?

Well Safety first, no matter what. And like others I am hoping you problem is solved soon and we can enjoy your very nice images again.

"Grapes and villagers"
 
am attaching a pic sent by Mohamad via email, so he is not totally razed

Perhaps a mod can push it into his gallery?

Saphire 24-09-08 10:17

Thanks for posting that Chris, I have had a look but can't see any way of posting it in Mohamad's gallery, Hopefully admin (Andy) can move it.

For what it is worth, I have been unable to upload to WPF via Firefox for a couple of months now but if I switch to IE it is fine.

I've done it Christine, mods can post images into other member's galleries directly (which I've only just seen how to do, scroll to bottom of "upload photos" page and enter the name of the member you want to post on behalf of), or post them into their own gallery and then move them to another's gallery (which is how I used to do this).

shahabalishahi isn't having trouble posting into his gallery, so it may not be country wide.

I understand restrictions / censorship is not countrywide and tends to be city or ISP orientated.

I am glad we have found an answer to the problem as above.

Mohamad or anyone encountering this problem in Iran can e-mail any Moderator for direct inclusion to that members gallery. As mentioned above Moderators have the ability to upload on behalf of others.

Thanks Duncan, something else I have learnt today:D.
