Putting photos in a hub

1. 95

   wildernessposted 13 years ago

   Help!  I'm trying to add photos (from a camera at about 500K) to my hub.  I have 2 text fields and want pics at top, middle and bottom. 
   
   Sometimes I can get 1 photo to load, sometimes not.  I have disabled the slide show link.  I can never add a second photo capsule; when I try my browser indicates that I am uploading but then everything stops and the text box for a caption appears.  From that point nothing happens except the little moving circle continues to go around.  15 minutes is not enough time - at that point I quit and delete everything and start over. 
   
   I have even stopped editing, then started again to no avail.

   Are you by chance using IE?

      I am using MSN, which puts a different face (whatever it's called) on IE.  I have internet explorer 8.

      Do you know, is it a bug in IE or some setting I can fix?  I like what I'm using and don't really want to add another browser to use just for HP.

         Yeah, IE--as well as Opera--can get screwy with Java and the likes.

         Every browser has its own quirks. Hubpages are optimized for firefox, and though I use HP on IE and Opera, too - I switch to FF when I get a problem, and this usually fixes it.

         IE is a pain in the neck. Practically every Hubber who posts about problems is using it, especially IE8.  It's more vulnerable to hackers than any other browser, too - so it's worth making the shift.

            Hmmmm.  That brings to mind another question.  If I run two browsers, do I need to do anything to my Norton?  Do you know?

               Yes, you need to trash it, regardless. The sooner, the better

               Wilderness, why would you need to run two browsers?  I switched from IE to Firefox and never looked back.  Never wanted to!
               
               And I agree with Misha, Norton's horrible.

                  Norton is BAD!
                  When a client uses Windows I recommend "Avast"--it's free for home use and I even have it on the parents computalator.

                     I appreciate all the help.  I got the pics in the new hub and published it using firefox.  Who knows, I may stay with it.  Norton - I've had good luck with it, although it's slow and won't remove everything.  I'll probably change when my year is up.  I'm just a little leery of antivirus programs - I've been hit in the past, as has my wife, and it's not fun.

                        Download from places like CNET.com or what not. There's a few good hubbers with great info--but for the interest of not appearing biased I'm not going to mention anything or anyone off hand here.

   I use the free AVG and if you use outlook express email use the spamfighter that gets all your spam.
   
   AVG picks up more virus's than nortons thats for sure.
