File bug reporting system and image uploading updates

[Thandal]

@FinalEntity; Interesting, but why are you hijacking this topic to post that information here? See my reply directly above yours. There's a right place and a wrong place. This is the wrong place. :down:

I thought it might just be server lag or something, but its been about 20 minutes now, and nothing ever showed up on the bug tracker.

Hi, can you point us to your file/thread? You may want to open an issue here: Nexus Network Website tracker :smile: Edited May 18, 2015 by IAmTiz

At this point, I am wondering what I should do to use the new and "improved" image system that replaced the perfectly functional old image upload system, should I download three alternate browsers in the vain hope that one of them will allow me to post images of my mods/stuff I downloaded to other users who may benefit from knowing what they're downloading beforehand? Should I beg others for whom this incorrigible new system works to upload my images for me?

I can't imagine who in the world is so inconvenienced by reloading pages that they can use it as justification to break the previously-functional image system. Whoever you guys are/were, thanks guys!

I don't want to increase everyone's loading time, so I will post only the URL to the screenshot showing my problem here:

Clicking the "Or choose them browsing your computer..." button does nothing Dropping images into the "Drop your images here" box mostly just opens the image in a new browser tab Positioning the cursor over the centre of the word "here" in "Drop your images here" and then dropping the images does generate a "Do you want to upload ..." pop-up: this does nothing when "OK" is selected Using the "Submit" button with various combinations of the above just gives a message indicating no upload occurred

The browser I used for this was Opera (and yes, checking for updates indicates I'm using the latest version). I also have Firefox and IE but, given the problems reported for these, I chose not to try them.

Drastic workaround: transfer images to a different operating system (Mac OS X); use that O/S's default browser, Safari (which I personally hate - all sorts of reasons - avoiding rant here); images were uploaded. Note: I tried Opera on this O/S before trying Safari: results as indicated above.

[As a computer programmer with over four decades experience, my recommendation would be that the web development team perform more thorough testing before releasing new (or updated) software.]

What was the other OS you were using Opera with? We tested the new image upload system in Windows 7 and I can comfirm that it works well with Opera 29.0, as well as with FF, Chrome and IE

Windows 8, Firefox.

It still hangs perpetually when I try to upload an image.

[jerff]

So, when will we have Witcher 3 nexus? Didn't find a better place to write this, sorry.

[Thandal]

@jerff; As soon as someone uploads a mod for it.

 

Creating a "Nexus Mods" site for a new game has been self-service for quite a while now. :thumbsup:

 

(But why are you hijacking this topic to post ask this question instead of creating your own? This query has nothing to do with the new "Mod File Bug Reporting" feature. There's a right place and a wrong place. This is the wrong place. :down:)

[sevencardz]

I'm back again with more suggestions. :D

 

Love the ability to turn a post into a bug, but I find myself needing just the reverse of this more often. I want to keep my bug reports section nice and tidy without flat out deleting my poor user's bug reports (some of which appear to be unrelated or load order issues).

 

Also, maybe authors could define a minimum kudo requirement for a user to have in order to post bugs? I dunno, just throwin' ideas out to see what sticks. I'm thinking a "You need a minimum of 5 kudos to post bug reports on this mod" sort of thing.

 

As has been stated before, being able to mark a bug report as a 'mod incompatibility' or 'feature request' somehow would also be very handy.

The other O/S was WinXP; however, that not really the issue. Using the same browser:

• I was unable to upload images to the "Module Area". The "IMAGES" tab of my mod was empty (at that time).
• I was able to upload exactly the same images to the "Image Area" (but these have no direct association with my mod):
  • http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/images/1849
  • http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/images/1850
  • http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/images/1851
  • http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/images/1852

  
  

So, the browser doesn't have a general problem uploading to Nexus; it did encounter a specific problem uploading to the "Module Area".
