Soon - New website design

[csaba]

I tried to remove a photo but the wheel is just wiggling left-right endlessly. I uploaded m/v Berge Yotei taken in Vancouver but instead a container ship photo shows up taken by GERALDEEN member in Australia.

And thanks for all your work

Been working in IT for 35 years and in my opinion problems like:
- slow upload (50 seconds each photo, former website only 5 seconds)
- in 20 uploads all the message "your photo has been uploaded" but in only 2 showing the photo in small format
- message "your photo has been uploaded" received but photo never seen again
- many messages "404 page not found" even half hour after upload
- unable to edit a photo, even half hour after upload or message "photo can not be found"
-etc

This all point in my opinion to server problems and not software problems. The server is overloaded, to slow, can't handle the amount of received data.
Mayby IT can research that direction.

I note if you click on a ships photo that's on google images from this site, you get to the site ok but the photo isn't there.

Just logged on to this new-look site.......blown away !! Looks amazing although for me some stuff doesn't work (yet). Is it a sort of "Beta" version?

I'm on Safari 14.1.1

Yesterday without problems 8 photo's uploaded,.
Now exactly the same problems as Pieter Inpijn had.
Only been able to upload one photo.
All the best,

Patrick

Google can only find pictures with the old website address, i.e. http. And when you open the link you get Error 404. Is this a Google thing or are other search engines acting in the same way.

[Owen Foley]

It looks like the "most popular" photos are assessed by total hits (whatever that is).
Each photo shows a number for hits and another for total hits.

Uploading multiple images of the same ship is a lot more work with this new website.
Previously you could click the back button and just add the new photo.
But on the new website, all information has to be retyped in full for each image uploaded.

[pieter melissen]

Owen, total hits stands for the aggregate number of hits for the IMO number in question.  A quite useless statistic IMHO.

I'm running Firefox 56; my experience so far:
- from the top menu of Home page, only the Home button -the one with the ship's wheel- seems to work;
- the rest,  "Upload / Log In /Sign Up" and "Home / Photos / Videos / ShipXplorer / Forum / Support / Contact" are dead;
- as for the Forum Topics, Top Categories, Latest Photo Comments and Latest Photos on Home page they do work, I'm prompted to the links when clicking them;
I'm writing this from Chrome, cannot log in on Firefox.

Update:
From the top menu, Home, Videos, ShipXplorer, Support and Contact buttons seem to be working now. Photos and Forum, and Log In buttons are still dead.

Hello. Just for information I can't have any photo if I put in the search the IMO number. Also if from google I search for example tanker IMO 9849291 in the list I find the shipspotting pages but when I  try to open them the message "404 Page not found" appears.
Regards. Baldizza.

I tried to upload few photos but after 2 photos I didn't see any mark that my photo was uploaded.
Agree that upload is very slow.
1 photo uploaded, another show me 404 error.
My problems same with Patrick Deenik.

Regards, Evgeniy.

Forum's working (obviously), but I get "Server error" message when I want to get the site title page...

[davidships]

Yes, Vlad, I had the same, but it was strange as the subsidiary pages seemed to work if opened directly, eg https://www.shipspotting.com/photos/search?
But front page now seems OK
Confirm Firefox working for me

Just to note that I am keeping an eye on this page.  There is no need to repeat items already raised (unless we falsely claim something is fixed!) - if we need to get a broader view of something specific we will ask (probably in a specific form thread)

All will be addressed (obviously over time) - one or two suggestions may prove to impractical or have have undesirable side effects, but we will come to all that in turn.

The uploading issues are IT's priority (plus some basic fuction issues for Safari users)

I shall stay off website in the interim but keep taking photo's. Virtually nothing currently working for me except for Forum (I'm on MacBook) but I realise this is early stages of new format so don't wish to overload the Forum with some things others are also reporting. Keep up the good work. I'm fairly certain Ken Smith is looking down giving you guys the thumbs up !!  Stay safe. See you soon
