All Images Failing - anyone else?

I was able to add 12 photos to one auction but not the 13th and 14th, I get a chopped off "screen" or tile and the message that I'm awaiting a response from Auctiva.

I havent been able to upload any images - and since yesterday I cant even load my auctiva - very strange as apparently the problem has been fixed.

I also read in their news that the problem has been fixed, but still NOT working. The entire IMAGE SELECTION in CREATE AN EBAY LISTING is not working properly since yesterday. I tried on different computers because I really need to post some listings somehow..

I cant upload again, sticks at 49kb and then fails saying the server has attempted to redirect you.

I've seen that or a similar error some months past in doing some tests with Firefox on Linux Fedora. In order to finish correctly, there is a page change from the uploader to the Manage Images page with a status message at page top. I found that the Firefox Fedora version required a special setting to allow the page switch.

Look at Firefox settings: Tools - Options - Content, and click the Advanced button for Enable Javascript (which should already be checked). Try enabling the "Raise or lower windows" for a test.

Hi Community,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble some of you are having. Our image hosting provider did have a technical hiccup yesterday afternoon (which I posted about in the "News" section of this forum) that would have caused uploads to fail, but I'm not aware of any issues today that would account for inexplicable image uploading errors.

If any of you are still having trouble uploading your images, I recommend contacting our customer support team using the web form on the following page: http://www.auctiva.com/free-au...tware-help/help.aspx

Thanks for the suggestion, but your link won't come up either. Hard to post an issue to support when you can't access the support page and live chat disappears while u are in que.

Item description and images are not working for me either. I too have tried different computers at different locations.....

Now I am getting a Microsoft IE error message.
"Unknown toolbag FreetivaImage" ?

Anyone else having this problem?

I AM!!!! Have you found anything out? It's been happening to me since Monday night about 10pm. And still can't get anything...It says "server or proxy unavaliable?"

Yes, I am having the same problem. Although I LOVE Auctiva and the tools it provides for us, this is really disheartening as I have a bunch of items to list also.

I hope they can get it fixed soon...Good luck everyone!!

Hi Community,

Thanks for letting us know about this. We found that one of our servers was running out of memory earlier today and it is likely that was causing the problems described by the last few posters on this thread. We have since rebooted that server so that may resolve this problem for some or all of you.

If any of you are still experiencing problems of this nature, I recommend contacting our customer support team using the web form on the following page of our site: http://www.auctiva.com/help/requesthelp.aspx

FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS AUCTIVA HAS BEEN STATING THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED.THIS IS NOT THE CASE ON MY END,I CAN GET 2OR 3 ITEMS LISTED THEN IT FAILS.I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON BOTH INTERNET EXPLORER AND FIREFOX.ANYONE ELSE STILL HAVING ISSUES OR IS IT JUST ME?

It is still only uploading an image or two befor getting the "Server redirect" message and kicking out.

OBVIOUSLY NOT FIXED!!!!

Here's the reply I got from support tonight

Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue, I am sorry you are experiencing this problem. I would like to inform you that I have tried to upload few images with your Auctiva account and I am able to do it without facing any issue. I would also, like to inform you as if now the Auctiva services are working perfectly fine.

Based on the description of behavior you are experiencing there may be a browser tool bar or add on such as a pop-up blocker that is conflicting with Auctiva's image uploading software. Please try disabling any of these types of programs and attempt working in your Auctiva account after doing so.

You may also find it beneficial to clear your browser history and cache, should you need them, here are instructions for this process using the two browsers optimized for use with Auctiva:

FireFox 3.0

'Clear Private Data' from the 'Tools' menu, ensure the boxes next to 'cache' and 'cookies' are checked, and then click the 'Clear Private Data Now' button. Please ensure that only one browser window is open when you are doing this or your cache may not empty properly.

Once you have made these adjustments, please close and re-open your Firefox browser for the new settings to take effect.

If you have any additional questions or concerns pertaining to your Auctiva account, please feel free to let me know, and I’ll be happy to continue assisting you.

Hi Folks,

I ran some tests this morning.

I was able to routinely get the error "The server attempted to redirect you, but server redirects are not supported." with Firefox on more than a dozen attempts. Of 32 standard files for upload (my test group), the failure was randomly occurring, but usually between the 3rd and 6th image. I was unable to repeat the problem with IE7. I also tried Safari and achieved the exact same failing message, so it's not just a Firefox problem. Safari has worked perfectly for me in the past.

My prior suggestion had no effect on fixing Firefox.

In checking Google for that exact message, it appears to be a well discussed problem at the Aurigma site for the uploader. Some of the discussion points to Authentication Cookie expiration. There are several related threads on the subject.

Recent changes on my desktop do include update to the most recent releases of Firefox and Java. Since the bug is consistent with Safari, Java might be involved. However, the discussion at Aurigma appears to suggest the problem as server.

Sorry I haven't had the chance to test earlier.

Edit: Clearing the Firefox cache, cookies, etc. for "Clear Privacy Data" does not fix the problem.

My Java Console log at trace level 5 shows this typical sequence with the ###Error occured### posting after acknowledgement of the message.

For clarification, I am using the standard site method to login with "Remember me".

I'm having the same problem...server is trying to redirect...tried last night and again this am...help...

Same problem here too. Two maybe three photos upload, then the server attempts to redirect and can't.

Same thing here.. Had to click "Upload" a few times to get through all of the photos I needed to upload. Very frustrating. Glad I'm not the only one though!
