Phot up-load error message 3740

[ellobo 0]

When I try to up-load a photo I get,

 

ERROR: Line 3740

 

Failed basic sanity test: Naughty naughty! Are you trying to hack me?   ???

 

What am I doing wrong please?

Same error message for me.  What are we doing wrong?

Doew your photos file name have a space in it.  What exactly is the name of the file you are trying to upload.

Hi Pete,

 

Hope your having a great holiday.

 

The file name is bb4.jpg

 

I have tried dozens of times to upload it back but keep getting the 3740 error message.  

 

I will keep trying.  I usually am able to figure things out eventually.

I have tried two:

 

wolf.jpg  and meeting1.jpg

 

The "meeting1" is one that I had previously up-loaded onto the old board.  I am using it as a test because I know that it is a valid picture.

Can you try this and let me know what happens.

 

Create a directory on your c drive called pic.  It should be a top level directory(ie C:/pic).

 

Copy your photo to the directory.  Try to upload  it from there.

Did what you said and tried it with no luck.  Even put it higher, on the Desktop, as Harvey recommended earlier.  Tried every combination that I could think.  Same error message each time.

 

Also tried to load a file larger than 125K and a bitmap (bmp) file just to see what would happen.  Got the same error message each time as before.

OK guys, I think I've fixed it now.  The script didn't like the space in your user name.  If you try again it will now create a directory called ellobo or BeachBoy - no space, and will hopefully work.

Almost there.

 

The first time I tried it, it did not work and I got the same error message.  I went back into my profile and changed,

 

“Name:

This is the displayed name that people will see.”

 

from el lobo to ellobo.  Then it uploaded with no problem.

 

I now have two albums.  You might want to delete the one with no pics.

 

Next problem.  I can not get the photos to post.  Have looked at the paths very carefully.

Ok, let’s try it again.

 

 

After reading some other posts, it looks like you have to have “/pics” in the path.

 

Here are the instructions.  No mention of  “/pics”

 

 

1) http://www.freelancerbar.com/

2) your user name/

3) the name of your photo file.

So, if I (PattayaPete) was to upload a photo called Sexyas44567.jpg, it's Internet address would be -

http://www.freelancerbar.com/PattayaPete/S...Sexyas44567.jpg

As with all things computer, you must have the name exactly right, including UPPER and lower caSe LetTerS or it will not work.

Start a new post somewhere on the board. Where you want the photo to appear, click on the photo icon above the similes. The following text will appear in your post .

You have to change the letters URL for the Internet address of your photo. So in the case of the photo above I would end up with this

Thanks Pete,

 

Got it working now.

Pete,

 

One more thing thing that caused me a small problem that you may want to know about is:

 

Where you tell us the URL address of the photo once it is uploaded you instruct us to change username and photoname.jpg.  My user name and my board name are different.  When I put in my actual user name the photo did not work.  When I put my board name in it worked.
