[edit] Helpme

Hi, I am still pretty new to the wikipedia. Just get some problem when trying to upload new images today. I have to use proxy due to my location. Astrowikizhang 09:59, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Only logged in users can upload images. I'm not sure what problem the proxy would cause, unless the proxy was blocked. Can you describe any error messages you are getting.--Commander Keane 10:07, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm sure I have logged in. No error msg is shown. Just sending request to wikipedia for very long time after I click 'upload' button. Astrowikizhang 10:36, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Maybe it's something to do with the file. What is the file type (eg .jpg or .gif etc), how big is the file, what is the exact file name?--Commander Keane 10:44, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
It is a common JPG of 126K named Stsobt.jpg. Just renamed it to Stsobtvcl.jpg and uploaded OK. And I cannot visit Wikipedia for 24 hours until minutes ago. So maybe the Greate Fire Wall (GFW) decided to put it offline for some time. Thanks for your help.--Astrowikizhang 06:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

The Great Fire Wall seems totally blocks the Tor access to wikipedia this month, and I have to visit the site via: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/ The problem is that I cannot view image thumbnail for those images I uploaded via secure access, e.g. Image:Sts_et_barge.jpg. If thumbnail is used, it will appear as

. All images uploaded ealier works fine. I'd like to know what could be the cause and how to solve this problem. Thanks. Astrowikizhang 08:49, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey Astrowikizhang, the images are displaying okay for me. (From outside China). This means that the image has been uploaded properly; could you try refreshing your browser cache? (Press Ctrl-F5 in Internet Explorer, or Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox). Remember to do this on the page on which your images appear. If this doesn't work, please feel free to contact us again. Cheers, Tangotango 08:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. The image is displayed OK now. I think refreshing the page is the solution. Astrowikizhang 09:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
