It is still sluggish. I think the problem is signalling back to the browser that the picture has been uploaded. I don’t know. It just about worked this time but badly. I’ll work on this more to fix it hopefully.
Marc. I have fixed the comment picture upload problem. It was a plugin called Smush It! which strips out metadata from the image to make the file size smaller. Google likes that sort of SEO even though it only saves about 3kbs (3,000 bytes – big deal). Anyway for Smush It! the image is sent to a Yahoo server were it is worked on and then sent back to the site. At best this slows things down but at worst it fails to upload. I have disabled the plugin so comment image upload works fine now. Sorry for the hassle
I get too worked up. That picture you took of Charlie on the bed (with natural light), was one of the best I’ve ever seen of your Mother’s cat/your cat. I love that photo of Charlie, as much as I do of your /tuxedo. <3
I knew it, Michael, because you are absolutely one of the best that I have ever SEEN! ever. 😉 that’s what I loved so much about that photo of Charlie on the bed. perfect. You did not disturb him, and that is my favorite memory of the photo, besides him.
Annoying. That should work fine. I tried to make it work myself but failed and have updated the plugin. Still doesn’t work at the moment. Sorry. I’ll keep trying. The problem is not the plugin but image database management.
Yes – I’ll give it another shot. It’s the same pic. That’s all. With a silly caption about catnip. There’s a whole series of them – I find them funny. If you went to the link and click next – the album it’s in has the other ‘Nip Not Even Once’ images. I think they are mimicking the anti crystal meth propoganda – I thought they were quite funny anyway. So last try to upload:
It may be OK now. If you have the patience…..lol you might try again. I succeeded in uploading the alternative funny caption to this photo in another comment. So it just about worked for me!
What a beautiful cat! How clever cats are to be able to balance like that. She looks to me to be thinking how to get out of that situation without making a fool of herself lol

Ok they just appeared – the last 2. Sorry about all that – I hope it wasn’t me.

I was good which proves it is not about equipment (it was taken with an iPhone) but about timing, subject matter and light.

And this – pic didnt load first time?
Still not loading – only 200 kb or so.
‘request timeout’ – I’ll try another network. Wierd.
Ok I can’t upload a pic – 200kb – I’ve tried a few times. I’ll try again later.
here’s a link to it https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151082622854256&set=a.10151082622504256.532036.559199255&type=3&theater
Try tomorrow! LOL. I think it is working but not great. It will pick up later, hopefully. Sorry for the hassle.
I am working in this! Pain in the backside.
That cat in the photo has a clipped ear – so must have been a stray before this photo was taken – which is good.
Ok trying from a regular browser:
Ok I give up 🙂

Michael – it’s actually a timeout. Is your server overloaded right now? I guess probably not.
It may be the update. I have not updated to WordPress 3.9. I will do it now.
It may be OK now. If you have the patience…..lol you might try again. I succeeded in uploading the alternative funny caption to this photo in another comment. So it just about worked for me!
Still not working for me – maybe it’s on my end.

It looks like to me too. She looks quite comfortable surprisingly.
She does, doesn’t she? probably got caught and yelled at, and then, SLAM! BAM! THANK YOU MAAM! 😉
