Uploading using Safari
 

As a Mac user my web-browser is Safari and I am having a lot of problems uploading to WPF. My latest pic took 7 attempts to load. After I have selected the correct photo and hit the upload button, nothing happens. I then have to hit stop, refresh and start all over again. Is it just me? I'm a member of a few forums and this is the only one I have problems with.

I don't have any problems Nick with Safari 1.3.2. I dare say you have a much later version.

Just now noticed there is a checkbox between thumbnail and description panel on the 2nd stage - do you have it checked?

Try clearing its cache alt/macE and maybe re-install it if off a CD or download a fresh one.

BTW I only use Safari for this & Pbase - it is the best colour dispaly, but Firefox far niftier in every other way.

I use Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.10.6) that was bundled with Leopard. I am not a regular up-loader but no problems experienced when I do.

Can you provide a screen grab should it fail again?

Just posted a photo in the gallery, no problems.

What happens to your network connection when you click upload. View 'Network' in the Activity Monitor.

PostScriptum: if the upload works using Firefox, it would pin the problem down to Safari, not the connection; if not then concentrate on Safari. In that case are you familiar with the discussions on the apple site - not much they have not cured for me over the years.

I was trying to work out whether the image was actually sent to the WPF server. Outgoing traffic should show in activity monitor when completing the photo upload clicking 'submit'

I use Safari 3.0.4 with OS X 10.4.11 with no problems at all now I have cracked the image size/quality problems I had to start with. All uploads are reasonably quick as well - average 10-15 secs if that. What OS are you using because in OS 10 the Terminal "fsck -y or fsck -f" rebuild cures almost everything.

Uploads using Firefox take 5-10 seconds, as does IE.
I'm using OS 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4.

Surely this means its the safari that has got twisted, so repeat, if no difference after clearing cache, bin it and re-install.
