Title: Trouble uploading Travel Report
Post by: PaulG on October 01, 2013, 04:12:55 PM
I've just finished completeing my travel report from my trip to the MotoGP in Austin,TX in April.  It's kinda lengthy, with 9 embedded Youtube videos and assorted pics.

It says there is a problem with the site (which should mean this won't post either?), and crashes.

Just wondering if this post goes through, does that mean I should parcel up my report into smaller posts?

thanks

I'm still having problems uploading.  I've reduced the size to the first two days with some pics and one embedded video.  I keep getting this error message:

Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.


So I guess I'm reporting to an administrator?  I dunno, no button to click for that.  Any ideas anyone? ANYONE?

Yes thats the video for day 1 & 2 which has been uploaded to Youtube, but I can't get it to embed into my trip report.  I don't know if it's a problem with trying to embed the link, or the links to photobucket for the photos.  I suppose I can just substitute the embedded link with a URL link to the video and see what happens.

oh yeah - i know i'm an idiot when it come to this but ...

a simple instruction would help rather than just embedding the video like i'm trying to do and not telling me how to do it

i've followed all the instructions available to me yet for some reason it eludes me

this does not help at all
