Mistaken Invalid parameter error message
« on: April 09, 2022, 11:13:59 PM »
Hi
Got an invalid parameter error message that does NOT make sense.  I provided all the required data; but, still got the error message and unable to upload.

Dang  :( >:(
Only able to upload one of three different ships spotted today.
Seems like I am not alone with malfunctioning UPLOAD problems.

Oldkayaker, this is happening because the site does not recognize information saved from your browser; when entering the data on, say, "Location", if the data is autocompleted from your browser, the location will appear in the field correctly, but you will still get the "red border" and "Invalid parameter" error.

To correct this, all you need to do is enter the data manually again, until the site's own data appears. You do not want to use "autocomplete" from your browser. This is a bug that has to be addressed by the programmers.

Cheers

Vlad

When trying to upload photos from an external drive attached to my PC I continually get Invalid Parameter Error message. Ok with photos stored on the PC. Any clues?

I always do that (no photos on my PC/Laptop at all) and have never encountered this. (Windows10-11 and Firefox)

Hi Pieter, it previously worked for me, even tried copying photo to computer and still would not load. Posted it to fleet mon and it worked fine so I do not believe it is a computer problem. Totally at a loss with this one. Cheers and thanks for responding.

so for good order here is Tony's shot, but on a different outlet.

https://www.fleetmon.com/vessels/hmas-leeuwin_9151773_13993252/photos/3607993/

Is there anybody with a reasonable guess as to why this should/would not upload here?

Finally loaded this photograph. I cleared the cache and browsing data, copied it from external drive to computer and re entered all data. Still had issues with date however. Thanks Pieter for your help.

I did manually load all relevant information and again got rejected.   Something is fundamentally wrong with the upload system. And, I have NO Problem loading photos into Marine Traffic and also Vessel Finder; but, NOW Shipspotting.Com is NOT working as it used to.

Time to get some repair work done!!!!!

Hi Oldkayaker,

When you get the error message, the field that's causing the problem is circled in red like in this example screen shot of mine. Please check which field is causing the message.

Hooray

This upload function finally worked.  Did everything the same as usual; but, this time the upload function worked.
