Meteor Compilation..

Rick - I have tried uploading files twice. It does upload OK but then when I press continue to add file to albun I get a critical error..... There was an error processing database enquiry....?  Any ideas? Thks,  John

PS - File is animated gif approx 4.5Mb

[Rick]

Hmmm... There's some fallout for a couple of attempts in the file system, 14:08 and 14:26. I seem to remember having trouble with animated gif previews in the past, but Mark managed to upload his NLC animation recently. I'll try to figure out what's happened...

[Rick]

*sigh* The "Critical error" is, apparently, "MySQL server has gone away". Smaller images with less complicated thumbnail requirements work fine, so I guess it's time for another ticket...

[Rick]

Well, I've got a fudge of sorts in place. It doesn't produce an animated thumbnail, but it does seem to allow for the possibility of uploading your animation. Please give it another try sometime.

I've said it before.. I've got a ridiculous amount of space on my server you are welcome to have. I can set you up with a subdomain of amateur-astronomy.org

So far only Duncan has taken me up on the offer (well I also made one for Fay but she never used it).
