Is anyone else having trouble posting photos to Gather? I'm trying to do a photo essay of the sculpture walk Rick and I saw in May and the photos all say processing... I'm wondering if I am doing something wrong? I'm doing the same thing I'd done in my other photo essays... Am I just being impatient???

Yes, it is slow, but have patience and they will show. Just keep uploading your photos and save your article. You might have to return to it later, but they will show. I just posted a photo essay.

I haven't tried yet
Janet "Jax" B. Aug 20, 2008, 12:44pm EDT
Too many people are posting photos at once...Gather can't keep up.
Sherry W. Aug 20, 2008, 12:45pm EDT
Yeah, I agree with Janet. There are a TON of photos being added to Gather because of the promo. Just be patient. :)

I think it's just that a lot of people are posting photos.

Looks like we all answered at the same time LOL.

I notice the photos staying in processing longer than normal, but they usually get processed within a few minutes about 5 at most so far for me.
Nurse Nancy S. Aug 20, 2008, 12:47pm EDT
VERY SLOW!!!!!!!!! Or you will post and nothing happens. Gather is being enundated with photos.

This thing just started and I am almost ready to see Christmas pics instead of summer...LOL
I don't think I have commented so much in my life!!!
Jennifer N. Aug 20, 2008, 12:47pm EDT
I just saw that too. Wish I had stayed up later this morning and posted more then now. :(
Sandra T. Aug 20, 2008, 12:48pm EDT
Wow thanks everyone. There is a promotion going on? Uh oh!!!
necee t. Aug 20, 2008, 12:48pm EDT
i have not tried today... good luck to you... i've had trouble in the past where it just keeps saying it's processing, but nothing happens... ugh...
Jennifer N. Aug 20, 2008, 12:48pm EDT
With all the photos I have to share (easily 200 shots) this is not going to be fun if it's this slow.
Denise B. Aug 20, 2008, 12:50pm EDT
a lot of photos are being up loaded it is just gonna take some time
Donna Besso Aug 20, 2008, 12:54pm EDT
Ok, I was wondering what was going on, lol!
Tory H. Aug 20, 2008, 12:55pm EDT
I'm having the same issue.
Robin G. Aug 20, 2008, 12:59pm EDT
it was fine earlier...now I am having the same trouble
Robin G. Aug 20, 2008, 12:59pm EDT
maybe I'll concentrate most of my posting to the "off" hours
I can't post any either~
The Red Headed Witch of Gather G. Aug 20, 2008, 1:03pm EDT
Probably because of the summerpics thing
Jennifer N. Aug 20, 2008, 1:14pm EDT
I don't think it has anything to do with the promo, because frequently after those updates this happens when there's not a promo. So, it's most likely the update that did it.

Not that it changes anything....
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Aug 20, 2008, 1:26pm EDT
I am reading so many articles ...
Richard Frisbie Aug 20, 2008, 1:37pm EDT
Probably just too many people hogging the bandwith. Keep Trying! (and Good Luck!)
Linda G. Aug 20, 2008, 1:46pm EDT
heard others have trouble, I haven't tried in awhile. I did not get email for about 12 hours but that is back
Rebecca [Future Teacher] Aug 20, 2008, 2:04pm EDT
I've heard some people are having trouble, but Bridget said they were working again.
Christine P. Aug 20, 2008, 3:32pm EDT
Uploading pictures was a bit slow for me but it did come up. I think it is because everyone is posting pictures right now!
Mary G. Aug 20, 2008, 5:13pm EDT
I'm going to start posting photos late night.
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Aug 20, 2008, 5:21pm EDT
Hey... at least your ENTIRE BROWSER WINDOW doesn't shut down 3 and 4 times with every, single photo you try to post... **pulls hair out by roots**
Randall C. Aug 20, 2008, 6:42pm EDT
are you aure they are all of the jpg foprmat? they have to be that format
Patricia J. Aug 20, 2008, 7:04pm EDT
Everybody just went on vacation and now with the summer pic promo they are all trying to load photos.
Chris E. Aug 20, 2008, 8:51pm EDT
I can't get any pictures to load.
Larry H. Aug 20, 2008, 11:22pm EDT
My wife is right now..
Elmo A. Aug 20, 2008, 11:49pm EDT
Mine have been slow but showing up eventually
Wilma M. Aug 21, 2008, 1:21am EDT
I had a hard time this evening. One photo I just left to see how long it would take. After 90 minutes and it still hadn't finished processing, I just deleted it and started over. I got 4 pictures posted and then it wouldn't work again. Finally got 2 more posted and gave up for tonight.
Dagmara H. Aug 21, 2008, 11:43am EDT
No problem here, but heard about someone else having problem
Patti B. Aug 21, 2008, 8:39pm EDT
Have not tried to post photos as of yet.
Barbara B. Aug 30, 2008, 1:23pm EDT
Have not tried posting photos, but I tried posting part (19) of
my series Life On The Reservation but it wouldn't post somehow
I lost it after all the work I had done.
Barbara B. Aug 30, 2008, 1:25pm EDT
So I wrote the same article but not word for word as I didn't
even get to read it before it got 'lost'!! again it wouldn't post!!
I went to get Help from Gather but that was two days ago and
no help yet!!
Barbara B. Aug 30, 2008, 1:26pm EDT
So now my daughter is coming down later on to see if she
can get it to post. This story I saved.
