processhead I have found that it not only varies from carrier to carrier, but where you are at, & who the driver is. When we were in Texas I used to rave about FedEx. It was a very private area, they could drive right through the front, & drop at the front door, pick up & all. UPS was very sloppy with their driving skills, etc. there. I will leave it at that. Here, DHL was hands down the best, but they left the building here over ten years ago at least. They would pick-up & deliver perfectly. Even brought treats for ol Duke the Healer we had then. Now it depends on the driver & they all go back & forth with the various carriers, for the most part UPS was taking the prize most of the time. Someone is here most all the time too, but some insist on walking to front doors & doing a stop & drop, no indication that they ever arrived until we find something on the front porch that we rarely use or in the bushes. We try to get them to just use the drive so they can just drive around & straight through to make it easy on them & drop at the garage or back door, that way if they are in a hurry or doing the stop & drop, it is OK & it makes their job easier too. We have tried to keep them informed over the years personally & in writing. So long as they keep a regular driver, which they all used to keep, we are good & have a happy relationship. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case so much anymore though as they change a lot, folks quit & move on, etc. It just is not what it used to be. For shipping, we have usually just found the USPS worked out the very best & the price was right & more convenient. However, they refused to ship something recently because it was Ginger Ale, a liquid. Somebody was in a pinch I am certain. We ended up having to drive to town to one of those UPS stores as UPS no longer takes packages for shipping here anymore at their yard not too far away. The cost was about three times the cost of the USPS. Please Pardon my rant, but that is the way I see it, they have all gone way down hill & sadly to say, are no longer consistent. Part of all that is another story for another day between the employees & the employers most likely.
Uploading problems
-
Trying to upload a pic and keeps saying error after it hits 100%. Anyone with same issue
-
twilliams We had this issue a lot a while back but we thought we had fixed it. We will take a look at it again. Can you tell me if you are uploading from a phone, if so, Apple or Android?
Also, in the meantime you are welcome to send it to me at [email protected] and tell me where you want it posted and I will do that

twilliams I’ve had this issue in the past and it always seemed to do with the file size. With the iPhone I’ve noticed recently that is allows me to pick the size before posting so I use the ‘large’ file size rather than ‘full size’.
-
twilliams I will talk with Austin about it and see what is going on and then update this post.

Speaking of issues. For the last few weeks any time I’m at the Meatgistics site I get pop up notifications that I’ve lost connection and is trying to reconnect. This is only here and with my phone or laptop. No issues on any other site. Doesn’t matter which wifi I’m on. Also no issues with waltonsinc. -

I get that message a lot too. Just got it reading this thread -
Austin has increased the limit again on image size. Someone here said it earlier but Iphones allow the option to resize before posting and if you choose medium or large it should be fine. I just tested and if you choose to do the full size, which in my test case was 4.5 MB it wouldnt work, but if I chose large it worked no problem. I am going to do some testing with our google phone as well and I will update this post.
But for Iphone users as you post, look at the bottom of your screen and you will see text that size “Choose Image Size” and you can select Large, Medium or Small but not actual size.

Alright I just tested on an android and with files under 4 mb it works fine, it will not allow pics larger than 4 mb from an android. I don’t see the option to change the size of the photo when uploading from an android phone, or at least a google pixel.
Okay, I tested this on a Galaxy s10 and it has the same issue. Below 4 mb are no issue, above and it won’t work. So you will have to resize photos on your phone to under 4 mb before posting them to meatgistics. In the meantime and perfectly acceptable work around is to email them to [email protected] and include a link to the post you want to add them to and I will post it for you right away!
Austin looks like iPhone > Android here huh?

Probably not a bad time to just make a quick point and say if you are having issues with something on meatgistics or even waltonsinc.com to a certain extent please don’t let it fester or annoy you and certainly dont let it stop you from using the site or posting! Let us know, Austin is very good at the tech side and I am sure I have some value too, though what that might be is still a mystery…
