   Yes! Thank you Eduardo, for giving us the 32 thumbnails back, and the tags and favorites Also, the 10 MB image range is very nice, can be very useful at times; still, for those with slow connections, I think it’s best to keep images at 2 MB and less (which is what I try to do).

   Your friend, Bruce Jensen

   Hello Eduardo, I have a few questions: 1) why all my new images (beautiful landscapes / not any forbidden material) are being refused by Panoramio? 2) As the file size limit has been increased, what is the max avalible GB / user?
   3) Is it possible to add a link that shows “used / free space”?
   Thank you in advance for your attention!
   Best regards from Brazil.

   the API seems to be broken at the moment. All requests are yielding a 400 Bad request error.

   is-it possible to recover my tags before the last upgrade?

6. 6 Robert on Sep 22nd, 2009 said:

   I just uploaded eight photos of the same location which is NOT a city that is in the database of GE (it is a small Mexican village). So for each of the eight photos I had to go through the same tedious mapping procedure.

   Before you added the ten photo uploads as a group I only had to map one time (on an unrecognized location) and then the second and succeeding images began at this newly mapped location. I wish this would be reinstated.

   Thank you.

   Hi!

   The image upload doesn’t work with opera 10. It was good efore the maintenance.

   all my photos after maintenance work have wrong tags…

10. 10 Boris on Sep 22nd, 2009 said:

    Hi,
    after the site maintenance work the captions are not shown anymore (when the cursor moved over thumbnail) - is it temporary?

11. 11 Octavio Aldea on Sep 23rd, 2009 said:

    Hi. After returning to “normality”, Panoramio has some details. Although on bottom of the page is selected “español”, everything appears in english. The count of the views of some photos moved backwards. Why is this happenning? Will it be solved? Thanks.

12. 12 brezza on Sep 23rd, 2009 said:

    Good morning and thank for your work. After maintenance all ( or the principal part of) my “tags” are changed in location and now there is ( about my tags) really a confusion… Can I hope in a your particular “maintenance” or must I work very much,myself, to a new organization?

    Check the initial post at the forum topic Eduardo linked in this article. There you’ll find the known bugs and issues. Every anomaly will be fixed in a few days!

    Αγαπητοί φίλοι γειά σας. 1) Μετά τις αλλαγές δεν εμφανίζονται οι πάσης φύσεως οδηγίες στα Ελληνικά,παρά μόνο στα Αγγλικά. 2) Παρατήρησα ότι στην πρώτη μου ετικέτα ( > 100 Visitors ), όταν προσπάθησα να περάσω στη 2η σελίδα, δεν την εμφανίζει,αλλά εμφανίζει ένα άσχετο μήνυμα.Σας χαιρετώ και ευχαριστώ

    32 thumbnails per page is a really good new feature. But bythe way, is Exif gone forever from a picture’s page?

18. 18 michael habla on Sep 23rd, 2009 said:

    dear Eduardo,

    I have to state that Panoramio has gotten a complete new feel and dynamics after the changes you recently made. I am really pleased with this development and I want to thank you and all others involved for the great and increasing fun Panoramio is presenting me with on a daily basis.

    respect !

    Just to let you know that I have sent your fabulous site to many of my friends across the planet who either photo as a hobby or are amateur astronomers and are nifty with a camera.

    One of the fellows instead of studying the use of his camera and getting the hang of it decided to take a book on web design from the library to see if he can design and will never match your expertise with design, camera eye and the dimensions your photos artistically excel in creating …I thought you would enjoy the funny story of his attempt to compete.

    Archaeology, adventure travel and the study of urbanization take me away from the daily pressures of real estate in a down economy, so I enjoy your photos. I have an old Minox 35mm, a Fuji Digital and am looking into a smaller Canon so the card will work with my new Acer laptop (also have Dell Desktop).

    Thanks for the “lessons” in manipulating the maps and finding the locations.

20. 20 theobiarritz on Sep 24th, 2009 said:

    I just changed my password, but right after doing it, Panoramio does not let me in anymore. I need to update a whole bunch of info for my pictures. I feel helpless. Is something wrong with the system? I tried so many times to sign back in with every new password i created, but nothing is happening.

    Leaving this comment is the only way I can let my problem be known by this panoramio.com website. I cannot make comments in the Forum or the Blog, because like I said the website won’t let me sign in anymore with the new passwords that I have created.

    Thanks.

    Hello, Eduardo. Thanks for the hard work that you all do, and for providing such a nice place for us to post and view photos.

    Since this last maintenance bit, I have a number of photos that are stuck in the description area of the upload page. After I hit “save”, I wind up at this page: http://www.panoramio.com/upload_description , and nothing changes on my gallery front page. I’m wondering if perhaps I’m doing something wrong?

    Thanks for the help.

22. 22 not1word on Sep 24th, 2009 said:

    Actually, the dead page that I get gives me this message:
    >Error!
    Address not found:

    You tried to access the address http://www.panoramio.com/upload_description, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
    Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working.

23. 23 unnippillai on Sep 24th, 2009 said:

    In ‘Your Photos’ many photos are not shown. Previously before the changes some were missing. Now many photos are missing from Your Photos . Whether this is also part of th rennovation or is it only being processed and solution is on the way?

24. 24 brezza on Sep 24th, 2009 said:

    I thank you very much! Today all appears well and my tags are ok.

25. 25 unnippillai on Sep 24th, 2009 said:

    One of my August Contest photos is showing only partially ( only the top portion about 20 %) when I open the page. I am not sure whether others are seeing the photo fully. Previously it was Okey. Only after the rennovaion this has happened. You may plese look into it. Thak you.

26. 26 Leix-Rieder on Sep 24th, 2009 said:

    Hallo! I had the same problem: normally I choose “german”, but now it’s all in “english” - I can’t change it. The count of the photos is not moving forward. Think it needs some help. Greetings!

27. 27 Anonymous on Sep 25th, 2009 said:

    The photo 7096725 is called ‘Jesus College, Oxford’. But it isn’t. Its probable some other college. Please corrrect the caption.

28. 28 Nancy on Sep 25th, 2009 said:

    Hmmmm??? I really do not know how to be happy with the changes. Before you had one added to one location on the map and the next foto would be locationed at the place of the first, till you clicked on “voltooien”, probably “finish” in English. Now I have to do this seperately and have to search over and over again en the thumbnail is so small that all my foto’s look the same. Second: too much foto’s to be viewed makes it for me disturbing. But it is faster and I will get used to it if this is what most people want.
    What is bothering me most is that I cannot search on the main pages on my “tags” anymore. When I click in the next page on the hyperlink “Photos tagged with … (any tag I like) … in Google earth.” Nothing happens !!! The same goes for some places.
    If I search for Los Loros, and choose the one in Villahermosa in Spain from the list. I wind up somewhere in South Amerika. A little weird, I guess.
    So, are these problems still under construction? (it was OK as it was, at least I thought, I was very satisfied with it)
    Greetings Nancy

29. 29 Nancy on Sep 25th, 2009 said:

    Uhhhh, I forgot to mention, maybe it is helpfull, I am working inn Safari on a Mac. Maybe that is causing my/the problems. I do have Firefox installed too, but that programn doesn’t show more than 90% of the photos, so that is not my weapon of choice for Panoramio.
    Greeting (again), Nancy

30. 30 Panzerknacker on Sep 25th, 2009 said:

    hello,

    i read that “everything’s back to normal” on other sites - but that’s definitely not the case with my page: more than half of my pictures have vanished and not returned to the page yet, and all tags are still completely messed up! as we are more than three days overdue now: is work still in progress and things will turn out fine after some time, or is it just my page being left in that misery for ever?

    Thanks for answering!

    I think the removal of the “all tab” is a stepback. That was very useful. I hope you guys put much thought into it. Thanks!!!!

34. 34 Annelise on Sep 26th, 2009 said:

    Yes almost everything is in english. I miss danish.
    There are some problems when I download new pictures, suddenly dutch language appeared a litte. Then back to english. It´s difficult to place the picture just after downloading, when you zoom to correct the place, the place disappears, and you can only see grey background.
    Good luck with the work!

35. 35 Dr. HOUARD Patrick on Sep 26th, 2009 said:

    Hi. When I try to updoad my pictures and especially when I want to map them, I cannot reach the place to accept it, as soon I try to see it to click on it, suddenly it is going under the bottom of the screen and it is impossible to accept the locaion. Have you find this problem alrerady and if yes, are you going to solve it? With my best regards, Patrick

36. 36 www.sobos.ru on Sep 27th, 2009 said:

    Previous upload interface was more convinient. I mean you stayed at the same upload page, you could add subsequent photos or upload a corrected version of the same picture and link it to the same place on the map without any need to search for it again - as the context on the mapping control stayed preserved. Now you are forced to leave that page n ordr to make you put a name for th pic on a separate form and the map context is lost.

    Hi, after the maintenance i found the uploading speed now is extremely slow as compared to the past and it’s always hanging there with “error on the page” displayed while uploading. thanks for removing the limitations and hope the uploading speed can go back to normal soon.

42. 42 Gus on Oct 1st, 2009 said:

    Hi, I found the same problem about the selected language. Everything appears in english. Besides, I don’t achive to know what’s the current reviewed ID. I think the link ‘transfer information’ doesn’t work.

    However, I can upload new pictures, and I’m happy with the new 10MB capacity per file.

    Thanks for your efforts!

44. 44 Rhett Zyla on Oct 2nd, 2009 said:

    Most of my photos were already visible in google earth; now only one is visible!

    I tried using the “fill in this form page” because, as the help section states, “If the photo is mapped, fill in this form and we’ll correct the error.” My photos are mapped, but the review form rejected them saying they have not been reviewed.

    I am user #3618686. Most of the photos are of the following IDs: 27000227, 26966449, 26938622, 26903938, 26902749, 26757804, 26462592, 26754114, 26965466, 26903064.

    Creo que el sistema de posicionamiento de las fotos todavía no está muy bien. Antes de los cambios efectuados en la web, el posicionamiento de las fotos se hacía de una forma mucho más fácil. Supongo que es un problema que todavía no está resuelto. Tengo que decir, que me gustaba más el anterior procedimiento, sin más, un saludo y gracias.

    Hello,
    My email address is bwsmit@rocketmail.com. My user name is bwsmit. I can not login, and I know I am typing in the correct password. I have even changed my password using the “forgot your password” option - I receive the email (from dont_reply@panoramio.com), follow the procedures (get the green - Password Changed. Your passord has been successfully changed - screen), but still receive the error (get the red - Please enter your email and password - screen). I have tried to send an email to password@panoramio.com to get this resolved, but receive a “failure notice” for that email address. I have tried and tried and tried to get this corrected…can you please help?

    Thank you

    I am NOT able to upload any pictures. Have been trying for weeks, thinking you still are working on the website. I am able to select my pictures, as I always have, but the pictures NEVER successfully arrive as uploaded. I only have a forever-spinning progress indicator. Your help section doesn’t suggest anything that will help.

    Hello everyone!
    *** Pls be so kind as to forward this to the people in charge ***

    I´d like to know if the policy for selecting photos is being followed, as this photo - http://www.panoramio.com/photo/26460000 - has been selected while VERY MANY of mine have been rejected, Panoramio says the photos the photos I posted aren’t mine and I can´t send them for a second review (rejected twice) - Who can I talk to about this?.
    I agree most pictures vessels I post are not to be accepted, but I also posted beautiful landscapes and many have been rejected!
    Thank you for your attention!

55. 55 Rosa Lob on Oct 18th, 2009 said:

    Comentarte Eduardo, que cuando le das a la opción de etiquetas para buscar no salen las fotos.

    Por ejemplo, si pones **Aldabas** y buscas, sólo te salen tres, cuando hay infinidad de fotografias etiquetadas asi, espero que se solucione pronto el problema, saludos Rosa

56. 56 Laura Monteros on Oct 19th, 2009 said:

    I would like to know how to get information, add comments, ask a question. None of these options seems available. If I click on “comments”, I get a reply (to the previous comment) window.

    My question is this: it has been more than a month since my photos were reviewed and approved for Google earth, and they have not yet appeared. The links in the FAQs section re transfer dates do not work. This blog has not been updated for weeks.

    Please advise.

    Today I have uploaded Four photos and after completing all the typings etc about the tags, comments etc when the SAVE button was clicked I got a message “Authoristion fialed”. This is very much frustrating. Please look ino the matter and try to do something. I don’t know whether these photos will appear after some time. But the message was ‘Authrisation failed’.If the photos are uploaded and if it is getting failed,then it is very frustrating.Thank you…..
