Horrible bug in My eBid > My Gallery

[penny1933]

Good afternoon!

When changes come they ALWAYS to worse obviously.

This time someone created time wasting Image Upload Widget There could be something more time wasting, but it is already horrible enough.

It is not all. There is a link
switch to simple form
at the right corner of the name Image Upload Widget.

1. It is not clear what does it mean, "simple form"? But intuitively it can be the normal images uploader. So we need to proceed with it.
2. It does not work at all!

The bug is: when click on
switch to simple form

nothing is going on.

Can it be fixed?

The simple form switch is ok now but the Upload Widget should do whatever you need it to do, just click the "Open" button and drag your images into there or click the browse button or the My Device button and choose up to 20 images.

Hi Gazza. is it possible to increase the 20 limit

[gazza]

We have to be careful with timeouts as the images are processed on the backend after being uploaded. 20 takes around a minute of waiting. How many do you think would suffice? We can probably stretch to 30.

You can always upload a zip file if you have many or upload in a couple of batches.

30 would certainly be an improvement if possible. uploading in batches is time comsuming and zip files are beyond my ability.thanks

Zip files... post in the Kitchen Table section and I'm sure someone will help you out. You'll need to mention what system you use, e.g. Windows 10? 11? Mac, Linux, a phone/tablet of some kind.

It really is unbelievably easy to create a zip file and it's a basic skill. If you can figure out how to post in a forum you can certainly figure out how to use zips with the right help.

Thanks but at 90 years of age my basic skills are either worn out or on the way !!!

[gazza]

OK, we've upped it to 30. Let me know if you run into problems.

Thanks,

hi Gazza. works perfectly. Thank you

Yes, the switch
switch to simple form

is working now.

But it is completely wrong! It is not the previous version at all.

In which way the previous quick version may be reached?

It is time when everything is working robotically. Why the site demands from a seller to waist minutes sitting in front of the monitor instead of invest seconds on the simple action: just to add a few photos? It was a few second with previous version,
a lot of time and huge attention with the so called improved "Upload Widget" and uploading one by one and one by one and again one by one at the simple form for eternity.

Do the site developers really hate so much those, who brings money to the site, that their time is disrespected?
