crop thumbnails not working

jchin

I've been trying to replace the 1x1 cropped thumbnail (kind reposition the 1x1 crop) and the thumbnails are not updating (after like 15 minutes). I've tried on 2 different computers and 4 different browsers. The thumbnails are still the original ones from when I uploaded them 4 hours ago.

Is there a hangup somewhere? :scratch

It is getting really weird

If I change the crop thumbnail of the image to "a full image", it changes the thumbnail instantly.

If I then go and change it to some "custom" crop, it goes back to the 1x1 cropped image which was auto created when the image was uploaded.

Something is definitely not correct. And needs to be fixed ASAP.

This is the image that I have as my gallery feature thumbnail.

It is now cutting off the grooms head when I have a custom crop thumbnail set.

More oddness ... I go into older galleries and adjust the crop thumbnail, they adjust immediately and show up. Why is this new gallery (well a few hours old now) not updating the crop thumbnails?

jchin

There is something wrong ... on another old gallery, I got the message:

Oops, something happened and we couldn't crop your photo

Having the same kind of problem on crop. Returns saying photo has been cropped but it hasn't. Thanks, Paul

Oh ... at least now I know that it isn't just me.

jchin

Another oddity ... clicking "Reset Crop" seems to toggle it through some random crop patterns.

fixed.

Andy, there are still problems. Same gallery as I originally reported, just a few photos away from the one that first gave us a problem. This one the thumbnail does not custom crop either.

Andy, sorry to keep bothering you, but there must be a problem with this gallery ... here is another one that I was trying to not chop the groom's head and it won't take the new thumbnail:

jchin

Good night Andy.

Tried that and other combinations ... no help.

Note: "reset crop" sometimes gives me a random crop on the screen, I still click save but never really saves it.

Anyway ... I e-mailed help@ so hopefully they can look into it.
Thanks again Andy.

I am having the same issue for the past couple of days now. My older galleries seem to work fine. This newer gallery had pics updated to it a few days ago and I cannot crop the thumbnails on all the pics, only some. There seems to be no reason for the ones that I can crop. Some randomly work, others don't. I have tried numerous times, tried reuploading the pic, tried logging out and back in, refreshed my page, etc. Nothing seems to make it work. I am clicking on the picture I want to crop, click on Tools, More...Crop Thumbnail, change to 1x1 and then Save Crop, right? That has been working in the past and still does on some, but not all. What is wrong? Does anyone know? Getting frustrated...

Thanks for any info.

jchin

For me ... the problem is now happening with all the images in my most recently uploaded galleries. On the older ones, some (most actually) work, while randomly the thumbnails do not update even though it says it saved it. Every so often, I get an error message.

BeachsidePaul

This photo refuses to get cropped. Sometimes it says something went wrong, sometimes it says, crop saved. Nothing changes either way.

This has been going on since this thread was started and it's starting to get on my nerves.

Hi Paul,

Sorry about your troubles. I'll report this one. If I have any news, I'll post it here on the thread. It does look as if there is a problem with newly uploaded photos and cropping thumbnails. I hope that our sorcerers can pinpoint this issue soon.

Can you give us one or two current examples? I'll report them back to our sorcerers. Hopefully that'll give them sufficient data to pinpoint the issue.

Thanks,

Please give us one or two photos as examples for the crop thumbnail not working. I'll add them to my report to the sorcerers. Hopefully they'll be able to pinpoint the issue wit that information.

Thanks,

Also not working for me
I made this gallery last night and I'm having the same problem:
http://www.sissonphotography.com/gallery/8517621_RNEBJ/1/560650936_JzPey#560650936_JzPey

Any word on the issue? I've already sent the gallery link to my client, so it's rather important.

This brings to mind an unanswered question: is it possible to upload custom thumbnails?

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for the example. I've passed it on. I'm afraid, at this point, we can't do anything else than wait for our engineers to figure out what's going on. I hope they'll be able to pinpoint this with all the data from you. My apologies for any inconvenience.

No, uploading custom thumbnails is not possible.

Sebastian

JohnnyJr

Ok, Sebastian, thanks for the update. I'll keep fingers crosssed for a quick resolution!

JohnnyJr

Oh, I should have mentioned: it is all photos in that gallery not cropping. Thanks again for your help!

This is the link to the album I am having trouble with. There are three pictures that worked fine, the rest...no luck. I tried to delete all pics and reload them, didn't help. It's been about three or four days I've been trying to figure this one out. HELP US SUPERHERO!

Add me to the list who has found the 'crop thumbnail' tool to not work. I just joined smugmug a couple weeks ago as a power user and am still setting up my first gallery, custom layout, etc. I found the tool and thought it was a great idea, since the 1X1 square crop chops off the heads of many of my odd shaped thumbnail images. I thought I would just adjust the crop area with the tool. It does not work for any thumbnails at all however and does not report any error message. The "saved" thumbnails remain unchanged. I have tried this in IE7, IE8 and Firefox 3. I only have one gallery so far, so just go to http://wildworldphoto.net for reference. I hope it begins working soon since it is a big time saver....potentially. Come on you support hero guys, get this fixed please!!
