flickr upload problems!

[Bill58]

It's been a few weeks since I've uploaded to my Pro Account, but can't do it today after several attempts. I'm using Mozilla, go thru the basic uploader steps, just as before and get this message whether I try to upload 1 or 6 images:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


Is it me or flickr?

You, since everyone else (including me) hasn't had this issue. I would try googling on the issue and see if anyone else had a solution.

i have been having problems with flickr for months now...so it's not just you. in fact there is another thread floating around here with the same concerns from others.

my browser is fine...

Just checked. Mine works -with latest Firefox upgrade and old-school flickr uploader.

Use the uploading tool. That way you don't rely upon your browser. You can download it from their site.

No probs here either

I guess it makes sense to have problems w/ flickr--I've had weird problems off and on w/ my yahoo email too. Yahoo is really beginning to p.... me off.

BTW--I still couldn't upload w/ Internet Explorer and I cleaned out all my cookies/ restarted/ pulled the plug on the PC, as they suggested on their help page.

The upload tool is the way to go.

As others have mentioned the upload tool just works no matter of your browser and its settings.

Did you try and clear your dns cache ?

I haven't used Flickr to upload in a couple of years, the uploadr is great!

 

[Bill58]

Success! As suggested, I dragged, dropped and uploaded my sets (one at a time) in My Documents to flickr uploadr and it worked just fine. However, I wonder why they can't fix their basic uploader to be more reliable?

Many thanks for the advice, guys.
