Mac Fix

There was a problem with the “simple uploader” when using a Mac. Only one file would upload and then the uploader would freeze at 100%. This has now been fixed.

Site Online

Further to the last post about a DNS outage the site is back online. If you are experiencing issues viewing the site this is most likely due to your ISP caching our old DNS data, and all should be back to normal within 24 hours.

Again, my apologies for this outage. Steps have been taken to prevent such an outage in the future.

DNS Outage, Site Unavailable

Due to a DNS outage the putpic site is currently unavailable for some users. We have changed out primary DNS provider, and will be adding a backup provider to prevent this from happening again in the future.

Apologies for the downtime, this should be resolved by the end of the day.

New Simple Upload, Homepage Design, _blank

I have added a “simple uploader”, for those who don’t want to use the java/activex upload tool. This new tool allows multiple photo uploads and displays an upload progress bar.

I have quickly updated the homepage to display the 3 upload methods (simple, java, zip). I realize that no awards will be received for the design, if you can do better then please feel free to email me a design.

Also, I have added target=”_blank” to the HTML code provided for embedding, so that when you embed images and your site visitors click on them they will see the image in a new page, rather than leaving your site.

If you have any problems with the new upload tool please do let me know.

New Zip Upload Progress Bar

The old (only a week old!) zip file upload process has been updated to include an upload progress bar.

The zip file upload process is now split over two pages, enter your gallery details on the first page, click continue, and then upload your zip file on the 2nd page. The 2 pages per upload is a bit of a pain, I know, but it is the best way to implement an upload progress bar.

Hope this helps, if you have any troubles with the new process then please let me know!
