Wish I could send a “sound” blurb with my photo. We are at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey for race week watching classic race cars. This a new experience for us who have full timed for 17 years. We usually go in for the quiet dark sky kind of thing but cars from our childhood are driving by so close we can see the whites of their eyes. Your photo contest encourages the explorer in all of us. I was afraid to include the pictures of any cars not knowing if there would be any copyright problems

When I entered the Caption for my photo, it would not allow me to add a description. I didn’t see another place for it. Maybe Virginia is right — articles on both photography and technology may be i order! lol

Obviously some of us are recreational photographers and many are at the professional level.. Maybe some articles on taking good travel photos?

I have a note 20 cell phone that I use to take pictures and I’ve been told they look professional..

I do not think my picture uploaded. I could see it uploading last week. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I do not see where I could try it again.

It won’t even respond to click or drag a photo. I’ve tried 5 times and it won’t work. The words on this page look like they are double (like double vision).

Sorry you’re having problems, Linda. I don’t see anything wrong with the page, or with dragging a photo to the box. I wonder if it’s something on your device. I haven’t heard of anyone else having issues with it. Maybe clear the cache or something? Sorry I don’t know what to suggest (not techy at all). I’ll check with one of our IT folks to see if they have any suggestions. Have a great day. 🙂 –Diane

OK. Update for Linda. Our IT dude, Kim, says: “Clear your local browser files and try again. It’s always the place to start, regardless of device.” Good luck! –Diane

Diane,
Every time i try to upload a photo it fails and returns an HTML error file. I even went so far as to load a new Chrome browser (I use Brave usually) with no changes to the defaults. Disabled my security software (MalwareBytes) also. Nothing works. If your IT person wants it I could send you the error file.

I’m not sure, cee. But I’m sending an email tomorrow (Sunday) to the folks who might be able to answer this for you. Good luck! Have a good night. 😀 –Diane

Shoot. Sorry, cee. No, I never heard back. I sent your question to them that Sunday, like I said I would. I’ve just written another email to them, and scheduled it to send in the morning since it’s late now. I’m letting them know that you’re still waiting for an answer. 😯 I’m sorry I forgot to follow up long before this, so I appreciate your reminder. I’ve also asked them if there is some way to set up an automatic response acknowledging when someone’s submission has been received. I hope they can do that so folks won’t wonder if it was received. Have a good night. 😀 –Diane

OK. I heard back this morning from our Special Projects Director (and contest person, among many other things), Jessica. She said they’ve turned the feature back on which will acknowledge receipt of an entry. Yay! Also, she informed me how/where to find the entries. I looked you up in there and yes, we received two identical (gorgeous!) entries from you within minutes of each other, so I deleted the second one. Have a great day, cee! 😀 -Diane

I had a hard time this past week submitting my photo so I hope it only went once. I thought maybe file was to big so I tried another. It took a bit for all to work. Hope only went once since it was doing nothing it appeared.

I clicked on Submit and it didn’t do anything. I don’t know if my pic went through or not.

Sorry you’re having a problem, Joseph. Here’s some info from our IT dude, Kim, when he responded to someone earlier with a similar problem:

2 things can cause this kind of problem. 
1) You’re blocking some of our scripts that we need to make our website work. This can be a default setting in your browser (if you use Safari, Firefox, Brave or Opera) or it could be security software you have installed on your computer. So make sure that you’re allowing all cookies and scripts to run on rvtravel.com.
2) Our firewall decided that the situation was risky and blocked you. I checked our firewall log files and didn’t see anything that stood out linked to our forms pages. If you can google “What’s my IP” and send me the result I can narrow down my search a little more.

I hope that works for you. Have a great day. –Diane
