Anyone else experiencing this?
For some reason, lately, every time I go to upload to one of my galleries or even start a new one I get a message saying 'file is too large to upload' on every photo in the queue. I am using a 10mp and a 16mp camera, files are between 3-4mb and the same as the other 1000's of photos I've uploaded. I created 2 new galleries in early Oct with no issue, now I can't get a single photo to upload.
I don't know if its a smugmug thing, something with my computer, or something else.
Thanks

I use Smugmug and have never had that problem. I would contact them and see why you are getting that message.

On the topic of Smugmug, have you switched to the new style yet? I haven't - to me it looks better but it seems like I'm missing some of the controls.
 
I did switch. I hate change so I still think I prefer the old Smugmug. I'm sure I'll get used to it but am having a harder time getting around it.
 
Have you looked at your Upload Log (under account settings) to see if the system has any errors logged?
 

I just checked, it says no errors.
I've been corresponding with Smugmug customer support. Haven't solved it yet. I've deleted history, disabled firewalls & virus software, rebooted, tried different files.
I downloaded Firefox to see if it would work through it, nothing. Photos won't even go to the queue in Firefox never mind the 'file too large to upload' message.
I can upload to Smugmug through Picasa.
I can't copy a link from Smugmug to post a photo to disboards:( Last night I was able to at least copy and paste the link, now I can't even do that.
I can upload photos to Flickr no problem.
I can't attach a file to an e-mail.
I upgraded to IE 11 today, that didn't solve anything either.

I am officially baffled. Did I get some weird virus? Ugh! Annoying!:confused3
Maybe its time to pay a visit to the computer geeks.
 
Problem solved! I was checking my antivirus for the heck of it, one thing had an error updating so I contacted Nortons. The tech did his thing and now everything is back working. The Nortons updated, I can attach files again and upload to Smugmug:) I was this close to taking the laptop down to the computer people and paying them to fix it. Something with Nortons was messing with certain things. Very strange.
 
I hate IE and am not to fond of microsoft based PC's. We switched to Apple about 3 1/2 years ago and love it.

Anyway, I have not experienced the issue. Makes sense because Apple has their own anti-virus software.

I did switch to the new smugmug layout. I experimented with about 5 different themes and finally settled on the one I have now though for the life of me I can't think of its name.

I find it much easier now to upload pictures and create new galleries. Customizing is SOOO much easier now that it was before, IMO.

Take a look for yourself if interested:

Yeah I would have suggested resetting ie click on gear in upper right, internet options, advanced tab, click reset. i would remove ie 11 and hide the update and stay on ie 9 till everyone brings their web servers up to 11. Most skipped ie 10. Also chrome is good when you are uploading an album.

My sites are
Www.allophotography.com
And
Www.allofamily.net

Very happy with SmugMug.
