Again I have got trouble with the uploading of screenshots. When I try to upload the files, I get the message: Couldn't Copy File To Server. I retried it today, because I thought that perhaps it had something to do with the internet, but the same thing happened. My firewall settings have not changed (blocking refer is OFF), the files are almost identical to the last I sent (Ludens3 resp. Ludens4, .JPG, 60 resp. 30 kB). What did I do wrong?
:someone prods froggy with a stick: Huh? I'm awake
Er, well I can confirm that nothing has been uploaded for a few days now and your files didn't get uploaded even as a corrupted file (I just checked). The best advice I can give is ask TosaInu (been saying that a lot of of a sudden), since you say you are already meeting the size limits etc I can't think of anything that might help.
There seems something wrong on the server: none of the uploadtools work for me either. I'll contact the host about it as he may be the only one who can fix it. A bad moment to break down http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif
Konnichiwa,
The problems are indeed because of a PHP setting by the host. The change was done on purpose to increase security.
There may be a fix, but it'll likely take some time to get it to work.
Sorry for the inconvenience and I'l keep you updated about this.
Konnichiwa,
The host has a fix for this site: the uploadtools are working again. Please report if they fail for you.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Ahem, I have a wee problem. My PBM pics were successfully uploaded to the ORG story space (for this I thank you deeply http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...c-thumbsup.gif ), however, once i linked them up - all I can see is Totalwar.Org thing.
Now, being a responsible member, I have read this thread top to bottom http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/gc-book2.gif and found that Ludens had the same problem as I do. And I also have Norman Firwall which I believe is causing the problem.
So if anyone can tell me how to enable/disable refers in my Norman Firwall then I would appreciate it very much.
I have to make sure that the pics I have linked are in their proper places and stuff like that.
Thanks in advance,
Rev
I don't know Norman firewall but it should have some configuration settings somewhere. Try poking around the options/preferences/settings/anything else that sounds like that and look for refers. If you find an option for refers make sure it is set to 'accept' or 'on' or whatever. You have probably already done that and found nothing.
Secondly if Norman supports it you could set the org up as a unique site with special security swettings. This is what I did with Norton. In Norton it is under firewall->settings->advanced. Add www.totalwar.org as a new site and set it to accept both cookies (for your logins etc) and refers and that should fix it. Setting the main site works for the forums for me, setting the forums didn't work.
If you can't see anything even remotely obvious try looking in the help files that most prgrams have buit in these days. Probably not much use, if the 'help' is as crappy as usual.
You could try searching on google, I ended up searching with 'norton firewall refers enable' and got sucessful matches to sites with instructions for enabling refers for just the org. Try 'norman firewall refers enable' or something similar.
You should have a Norman Firewall pictogram (green square with black dots, not the N-pictogram) between the active programs in the bar at the bottom of the screen (right corner if you have windows XP). Right-click on it, go to the block refers (or disable refers) and select No.Quote:

If you don't have windows XP, you should go to the Norman Personal Firewall console in the start-menu. Go to privacy, and remove the tag in front of blocking refers (or something like that, my Norman isn't in English).
Ahem, I believe that Ludens was making fun of Norton Firewall by saying Norman Firwall http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg.../gc-jester.gif If I am wrong then I am wrong.
Well, what I meant to say is that I have Norton Firewall. There http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/gc-grin2.gif
No, the thing on my desk-top is definetly Norman and not Norton. But don't feel embarrased about it. An acquitence of mine who is supposed to know a lot about computers recently made the same mistake.
Still, I sometimes wonder if it isn't time for an update of humanity.

My bad, well the thing i have on my machine is Norton Firewall. hehe, Sorry for all the confusion.
Norton? Right that I can help with.
You should have an icon for the firewall in your lower right hand cornour of your desktop on the bar thingy I forget the name of - the one with the start button. Double click it. This brings up the firewall basic information screen. Click options from the bar at the top. Select personal firewall. Now you should have a grey box, choose advanced options. Click add site. Type www.totalwar.org and click ok. Now with the org selected use the menu off to the side to set cookies and refers to permit. I alos have bowser(user agent) set to accept foir this site, dunno why. Email doesn't matter so leave that on block. Click OK and exit all the firewall settings etc adn that should do it.
Hmm, the Options bar at the top gives me two choices:
Internet Security
Norton Antivirus
In Internet Security there is a tab called Web Content, to this I have added www.totalwar.org and it gives the following permits/blocks:
Information about your browser - Permit
Information about visited sites - Block
Animated Images - Permit
Scripts - Permit
Animation - Permit
Cookies - Permit
Java Applets - Permit
Active X Controls - Permit
Pop-up ads - Block
Tehre is no mention of refers anywhere http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/gc-wall.gif
What version of Norton/windows do you have? I have 2002/XP, if you have a different set up then it may vary. The option should be there, just a matter of finding it. It did take me a few hours to find it on my PC.
Try using google and doing an advanced search for 'norton firewall (your version) refers' just like that, set to search for all the words. I found some results and after checking a few pages I got step by step instructions with pictures.
I also have Norton 2002/ XP combo. I must be missing something. Sometimes I hate computers http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/gc-devil.gif
Thanks for all your help Froggy, I shal try to see if I can dig something up on google.
WOOOHOOOO...FIxed IT.
It was this bugger:
Information about visited sites - Block
I set it to Permit and cleared my Temporary Internet files and its working YEY (found this info in some google site)
ALL HAIL GOOGLE http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg.../gc-jester.gif
Froggy, thanks for setting me on the right track http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...c-thumbsup.gif
UPDATE: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I was able to see all my pics for a few minutes and then somehow all of a sudden I can only see two pics and the rest display Totalwar.Org logo. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg.../gc-bigcry.gif
Update2 : This is soooo screwed up (i was going to use a much worse word), everytime I clear my temporary Internet Files - I can see all my pics but after a few minutes of browsing around I can only see a couple of them.
I think this sounds like a job for someone with a bit of tech know how. Try the apothecary.

The problem fixed itself, somehow. Dont ask me how. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg.../gc-dizzy2.gif
how long does it usually take for the admins to put your screenies on the page?
I usually check for new pictures once per day. If it takes longer than that there is a problem with something or I am busy.Quote:

As I have edited my original post to say in big red letters Monk is now the person in charge of the story filemanager, so send all your questions etc his way. I am a relocated amphibian.
Well there's no real way to figure this out on my own so here i am posting in this thread. A screenshot by the name of Slot0000.bmp was uploaded yesterday to the .org's story section. The problem is, it's not a TW shot. This breaks one of the Mead hall rules
Edit: said screen has been moved to the Arena, not that anyone cares though http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif
IMPORTANT
To the owner of the Pic Ransom.jpg I have renamed it to Ransom03.jpg As there was already a screen in the filespace with that name. If you had placed your name in the filename i wouldn't have had to rename it and i could have sent you a PM to let you know instead of posting here.
I am going to repeat what froggy said (Though i can't believe i'm gonna have to):
Again, i wouldn't have to post here if i knew who uploaded it...Quote:

It is most likely the later so, for now Ransom03.jpg Will be deleted as it is The exact same as Ransom.jpg. Whoever is the patron who uploaded them both, you can still link to Ransom.jpg.
I'm getting the feeling people ignore this thread, and it's really starting to make me mad. Today being May 10th, a pic was uploaded to the filespace which is nearly identical to Ransom.jpg, it's name is rnsmamon.jpg. The info in said pic is exactly the same as Ransom.jpg with the exception that the campaign map has been cut out. The fact that the name is different may mean that somebody is reading this but i highly doubt that. I ran a search of the current .org members, and the name Amon (the same as the end of the screen) is the name of at least two members, one who hasn't logged on since dec 30th, and one who just registered a few days ago and has yet to post.
EDIT: well there's one way to get to the bottem of this, the screen has been uploaded and the original Ransom.jpg has been deleted. There you go...i'll be looking for this pic to be used for the next few days, it seems this will be the only way i will find out who has uploaded this http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/gc-shame.gif
suggestion:
seeing as how starting today/yesterday yahoo offers free email accounts with a quota of 100MB, i reckon the org could take advantage of this and, for instance, use some of that space for hosting screenshots/pics/etc. My feeling is that the storage-imposed limitations might be somewhat more relaxed.
Since I probably wasn't quite clear, I am referring to yahoo groups as well. I didn't personally check to see if there is a quota in there, but if there is, I am pretty sure they increased it together with the free email accounts quota.
To make a long story short, it's merely a suggestion, and I don't yet see any downsides to it (as for reliability, heck, i've had my account for some 5-6(?) years now and I don't have any complaints).
thought it might be helpful to the Org.

Guys i know this may sound really thick but i been reading all the posts re screenshots etc and i know that the way to save a screenie is to press 'print screen' button (or F2?)
Thing is where does my computer then save the screenie-i've looked everywhere
