Sorry bro. I’m working on the patch for IE6. Should arrive snail mail later this week.




Seriously, though, should I send the picture again or what?

No, it was through the site, not the app. I don’t have the app currently, and would rather not require a separate app to do something that the site should be able to do, or email should be able to do. I now have Bob’s email so I can just email directly to him if I’m out and have a picture on the phone.

The site works great on a computer though, just remembered the call for pictures while at a tasting last night and had my phone so I figured I’d try and get in the habit of doing it that way.


What browser are you using?


WebKit 3.1

Me too

unfortunately, that’s the problem

opera mini fixes that issue, if you want to to do that for now.

I submit the occasional picture. Let me know whether the format by which I do it works for you admins or you would prefer I do it another way.

-I take a picture of the bottle with my Android.
-I crop the photo with my Android.
-I attach it to an e-mail (sent from my Android) with the beer’s/entry’s url in the subject line.
-"Photo courtesy of hopscotch. Cheers! -Eric" is the body of the email.
-email sent to photos@ratebeer.com

How is that working for you?

<photos@ratebeer.com>:
child status 100...The e-mail message could not be delivered because the user’s mailfolder is full.

Are you guys screwing with me? I tried two different emails to send from via my phone!

I see the 2 pictures I’ve uploaded now, but the thumbnails are horrible, just a blurry mess. Is there a way to prevent that? I used to send in pictures of the same quality, and they always came out fine... (seehttp://www.ratebeer.com/beer/jessenhofke-lichtblond/169252/ andhttp://www.ratebeer.com/beer/de-7-deugden-ruw-bolster/168103/) I don’t think this is what you’re aiming for with this new feature..

How do I know that the picture has been submitted? I just used that upload picture feature for Drakes Alpha Session and there’s no indication if it accepted my picture.

Note from me: the Android app now supports uploading of photos directly! Just snap a picture with your phone and the admins will receive them to publish them on the site.

I do agree with Borrestijn that those thumbs aren’t very appealing. Probably needs some tweaking there.
