Forum:Photos take forever to add on pages

Recently I have tried to add a photo to a wiki page (the MAG wiki) that I took and uploaded myself. The uploading of the photo works, but the adding of the photo to the wiki page doesn't. I click 'add photo' and nothing happens, usually I have to wait 1min or so, but now nothing happens, I have given the image 20min to work but it still does not upload. I gave up after 45min. This problem is the same for every other photo I now try to add to a page. I haven't had any problems like this berfore as I have uploaded and added images of the same type to pages without any problems, it has been a while since I have added photos to pages but recently it just does not work. .:Skip-Dip:. 10:45, February 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is this still happening? Is the wiki mag.wikia.com? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 Feb 2012 3:55 PM Pacific
 * Yes it is still happening. Yes it is mag.wikia.com .:Skip-Dip:. 04:52, February 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Try using the source editor rather than visual mode. All you need to do to add an image to an article in source mode is put Image name.jpg into the article, where "thumb" places the image in a box, "200px" dictates the size of the image, "right" dictates which side of the page the image is on, and "This is my image" is the caption underneath the image. Keep in mind that you can't caption an image without it being a thumbnail. You can also post the image just by itself by putting something along the lines of Image name.jpg into the article.
