Does anyone ever get tired of this site turning your photos 90 degrees unlike every other site on the net where the same iphone shots upload fine exactly as they were? Ever get tired of trying to post the tiny 5 allowed pictures to sell anything and getting a time out because this antique site can't handle the files sizes? So tired of all the pain you have to endure to post anything but text here

Maybe try making your signature longer. ;)

Re: This website
 

That signature is very impressive, they all are highly optioned units, very good taste GMCNUT! Those RSD's on the Jimmy's are neat items!

If I take pictures with my phone horizontally no problem if the phone is vertical they are sideways go figure

Re: This website
 

I just upload each picture individually and it works pretty quick. I also just take photos horizontally with the top of the phone to the left and my pictures always turn up right on the site and on my laptop

Re: This website
 

Sometimes my phone does that too. I think there is a setting you can change on the phone to stop that. I have another site I'm on that does it on every pic so it isn't the site IMO.

Re: This website
 

short answer.... not really:metal:

Re: This website
 

sorry for the rant post anyway. I upload 20+ images free on Craigslist and Facebook with no issues and the phone turned upright, but here I pay annually a decent sum and can't even upload 5. Something doesn't compute about that

Re: This website
 

I should be more professional, but I am multi tasking today. I don't know if I want to laugh, or just let you rant on.

So you think that this site should have the same resources as facebook and craigslist? That in itself speaks volumes. By all means, please log out and go spend your money on ebay if its such an issue. I am sure the prices would be about the same for you... 130 here , 10% final valuation on ebay. We seriously overcharge for it all..

Posts like this make me wish Josh did sell out to the big guys years ago. You probably could have uploaded 7 pics the right direction if he did. And I could be sitting in my backyard oasis not giving a crap either way :)

Re: This website
 

There are simple solutions to these to each of these problems .

Re: This website
 

I always put my pictures into MSPaint (yeah, I know) to crop them, and save them with a real file name instead of 20234087057_iyuoowewuyg. My pictures never spin out, that way.

Re: This website
 

I do the same. Once transferred from phone. Rename. Right click, "open with" MS paint. Then save. Upload fine. Do not even have to resize.

Re: This website
 

I have posted pictures that are upright, taken with a camera, in my folders and have it land sideways here. I don't know what causes it but I never thought to blame this website.

I can post 5 pictures per post, no problem... ever. It's a simple matter of uploading one at a time. It takes about a minute. I figure there are 60 of those every hour, which will always seem quick to me. I still see it as very easy compared to the effort it takes to do other necessities.

You pay extra to use this site to sell for profit, right? I figure if you aren't getting enough back out of that it's time to do a cost effective evaluation. If this site seems low-budget on how it functions, maybe that's because there aren't ads between every stinkin' post. I have been on forums where you can only view post or view pictures as a subscribed member. Here anyione can post pictures and non-subscribers can see your items for sale and buy them. I don't see those other sites having any better functions than here. On Craigslist I have to post one image, publish, then go back to edit in the next picture. Repeat process until I have all pictures posted. Here, you post 5 in the first post, then post sets of 5 in as many posts as needed until they are all up.

I will always be amazed at how spoiled computers have made us. I like to keep my own way of seeing and feeling in check by looking back and the old ways to find my happiness. Problem is, it doesn't work all that well. I think I'd rather go back to the inconvenience and a happier society that was thankful for what it had

Re: This website
 

that's not a very nice way to ask Boog for a flip but hey, we all have a bad once in a while..

Re: This website
 

I second the post about this site and the benefit of not getting spammed and slammed with ads.
I do most my browsing mobile, and so many forums have ads that dominate the screen.
Oh, and I'd much rather buy and sell here than eBay.
I have been burned twice on eBay. I'm sure it was because of my inexperience, but that's why I prefer here, the people on this site aren't looking for ways to rip people off, and if they are, they get banned.

:metal::agree:

Re: This website
 

Sometimes I really wish this site had a like button!!!!!

Re: This website
 

x2

Re: This website
 

There is one other benefit to doing that. The pictures you take on a phone may have the location embedded in them. Adam Savage of MythBusters took a picture of something at his house and got visitors who tracked him down. He had moved by the time the person(s) visited his old house. Somehow running them through paint removes the geographical information. That's something that I'm going to check on my pics.

From wikipedia-

"To find an image's exif data, right-click the photo and select either “properties” or “information”. If the GPS coordinates appear, simply type them into Google Maps to find the location."

You are Spot on that Statement:metal:

I share the sentiment of the original poster. That doesn’t mean I need to be reminded of the much more numerous positive attributes of the site. That I agree with as well. All I’m saying is I think it’s a valid point, and it’s healthy to be open to hearing thoughts and opinions, and the site owners have a right to address or ignore them as they see fit.

Re: This website
 

I love the response. A personality. A human. Yay.

Re: This website
 

Already addressed in my post. We are not fb etc. We do not have those resources. Josh has already addressed the site upgrades in other posts as well. Everyone has a right to their opinion. That includes those that are happy and discussing the positive instead of just complaining.

Re: This website
 

Nice to know. Kind of scary. We are being tracked everywhere by everyone, by any means. Want to add this site is beneficial to me and have been a member for some time. Like to see it continue despite any slight inconvenience's.

Re: This website
 

I for one, love this site. A lot of good knowledgeable people that share that knowledge with others. I have bought and sold parts without issue. Great job Josh and Liz!!!!

Re: This website
 

Alright alright. Enough with all the happy happy joy joy hijacking how wonderful this site is to all who obviously already know that... including GMC Nut. Hmmm... did I just remind everyone how it's ok to post a bit of tongue and cheek pick 'n' peck here as well? :dohh: DOH! Now I did my own site promo posting.

But seriously, I hope there is no hatin' going on for GMC Nut for venting his frustration here. I hope that doesn't run deep, just a matter of all those little annoyances building up to THAT point and KABOOM! In that light, I am agreeing with 68 Bowtie. I think anyone should be allowed to feel free to post negative feedback here. After all, it's those who speak out who are the ones who bring about change for the better, right? Some things are the way they are for a reason, some things could be improved, and other things can't for a reason. And it's good for those who wonder to know the "why". I think we have covered most of all that here in this healthy thread. Now GTFOOH and go play!! :lol: << Tongue & cheek y'all. Just T&C... hardy har har? :confused:

Re: This website
 

If it wasn't ok, these posts would be edited and locked. Opinions, comments, ideas are always welcome right or wrong.

Re: This website
 

That's what I said :cool:. I was more addressing it to all the members, though. This forum is for ALL feedback.

Re: This website
 

I was agreeing with you. Then you agreed with me.. are we in agreement?

Re: This website
 

Im a member of many sites , Chevelle and Trucks and others , this site may not be perfect but neither am I . This is my favorite site period , almost always get good answers to my questions and I know this site could be sold to the Big Guys very easily but Josh and Liz choose to keep us . I visit here daily for my Habit after my work day and Truck time to catch up with Truck stuff .

Re: This website
 

Ummm… I'm trying to think :lol:

Re: This website
 

Still sorry for messing up your account! :D

Re: This website
 

A solution I found for myself (I blame my phone:uhmk:) is to take a pic on my phone and send it to my personal email.

Then I access my personal email on my laptop :mm:.

Next, I download the pics I sent to my own email in a folder on the desktop:sumo:.

Finally, I navigate to the forum and load the images to a post, or create a new post:smoke:.

And if I have time to kill, I use my phone to upload the pics ;)

Re: This website
 

It's odd how I've never had that issue. I've had several phones and computers over the years since being a member here, and have never had that issue. Seriously.

Re: This website
 

Let me guess... you don't have iPhones...

Re: This website
 

THIS: minus the upload with the phone.

Yep, don't have an Iphone, have an Android and still do like above. Small price of extra steps is worth it to me to keep Josh and Liz from contemplating selling the website to an outside Auto Guide like group. TRUST ME, you do not want that at all ! Will ruin this site, lets's do all we can to help Josh and Liz maintain the present site.

Re: This website
 

Amen!!!

Re: This website
 

You post as many photos as I want to this site... just host the photos yourself on your own website and post the URL for the image using the image feature... you can also choose what size you want them to be.

There ya go, solved it.
