"uploaded album content" error

nightmapzz • 5 days ago

Hi guys, I've been trying to upload this one album for a couple weeks now, but most of the photos i try uploading just show up as "uploaded album content", and when i try to publish it, the image names some up rather than the actual images themselves. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is it an error on the websites end or mine? Thanks

Question about non-typical photos of Level 1's

ArcAngel • 4 weeks ago

I was wondering how one should handle posting photos of things tagged as level 1's if you have photos that would potentially no longer meet that criteria (e.g. photos from inside a publically accessible thing that you are not *generally* permitted into)?

New user with tier 4 location

KeyHb • 1 month ago

Hey, I have a tier 4 location that I went to a bunch of times. I'm afraid that posting it as a level 1 account will compromise the space. What should I do? PSA: the location is an abandoned office with a chemistry lab, incredibly intact, chemical equipment is still there.

Question on getting caught

romxn • 2 months ago

Hi everyone, I almost have enough confidence to finally urban explore after watching it on youtube for 2 years, but I have one question about if I get caught. Assuming I am caught by police and not a property owner, does the consequence I face fully depend on the officer? I know i can mitigate the potential consequences by not carrying anything that would suggest me doing worse activities like weapons etc. Is it just a gamble essentially if I get a warning or a charge? On a side note, i was thinking to explore the Anaconda Brass in etobicoke, would this be an okay beginner spot?

Hello OAP, my name is Mikah and I am applying for level 2 status. I've been on here for a couple years (which was about when I started exploring) but have mostly just been lurking until recently. "Living in trailers but life is a movie" in Oakville was my first explore and I've been to 50-55ish places since, From Hamilton to Oshawa, and north to Simcoe County.

Hey OAP Community, I’m writing to respectfully request a promotion to Level 2. I believe I’ve met the current requirements, with over three months of active participation, four documented locations, and 15 albums uploaded featuring a variety of sites and content levels. I also have many more albums in the pipeline, ready to be shared with the community. I first got into urbex back in October. At the time, I struggled to find quality locations, but being part of this community has helped me grow significantly in both knowledge and experience. I’ve worked hard to contribute meaningful content, and I’m excited to keep exploring and sharing more. Thank you for considering my request, and I appreciate everything this community has done to support my urbex journey. Best regards, JMacUrbex

I usually get my locations through word of mouth and g earth scouting, but now that I moved all of that got harder. Been doing this for 5 years but I guess why not give back to a community :) (plus I've been gatekeeping all my pics for way too long) I put some nice albums up that I hope you appreciate, can't wait to meet and maybe even explore with some of you all.

Imperia • 1 month ago

Re-applying for level 3, I understand I have not met the requirements last time but I think I do now, ill give a quick break down of my contributions: 70 interior locations 4 exterior locations 200 interior albums 4 exterior albums (you can see the levels of my locs on the side panel) I also got a proper camera with which I am still learning new things about how to use it, but overall my photos are a lot better now and over half of my albums are with that camera so no more blurry grainy shots. but yep thats pretty much it, not much else to say, i hope you consider my re-application, and btw if you want to read more about how I explore and how I started, then you can look at my denied application, I wrote a bunch of stuff there.

Being apart of the OAP community for the last 9 months has definitely been.. interesting to say the least xD I am a bit sad that most (basically all) of you live across the country so I haven't been able to meet up with anyone *yet*, but I have made some friendships over discord which is great! I've been exploring for as long as I can remember (really got more into it around 7 years ago), but was never really interested in the photography aspect of the hobby until joining the site and looking through old albums. I also lived my life with only thoughts and wonder of what a location could've been rather than spending hours trying to dig up history behind it. I reside 4hrs away from the closest major city, which is why most of my finds are old farm properties. I do have a long(ish) list of locations ranging from BC, AB & SK I am beyond excited to make trips for though:D Anyways, I look forward to the feedback and thanks for reading a sliver of my backstory & nightshift rambling lol.

Take photos and add it as a location instead of posting about it simply being there for us, will yah?

indeed1 • 5 days ago

I think the size limit is 20mb(?) but if it's too large it will tell you and not even upload it, so not sure if it's a filesize issue, but definitely seems like a tech bug like you mentioned

ishootthings • 5 days ago

Idk if there is a specific image file the uploader needs that your photos arent, it could be the size of the files (I'm unsure of there is a limit) or perhaps your connection times out after writing descriptions? The best way is to get in contact with an admin in the Discord link below (discord logo is what I mean). Possibly thru the "contact us" heading too but discord would be the easiest way to pinpoint the issue the quickest with admins.

JMacUrbex • 1 week ago

It appears the dealership across the street is additionally vacant. Not 100% sure if its abandoned tho.

nightmapzz • 2 weeks ago

If you post photos of that location, it will either post them to an already existing level 4 entry, or you can make an entry yourself, and select any level. Although you can't see level 4 spots normally, you can if you have added them yourself or posted a gallery to that location.

I forgot that I know the quality in my earlier albums was not great. I have begun using a real camera, so the quality will increase once i get to uploading those albums.

unless the co-ordinates are wrong this place has been demolished

ForgottenPlaces • 1 year ago

According to Google Maps July 2023... The barn is only the bottom stonework - it must have fallen in previous years. No house on the property must have been demolished - only the mini silo. :( It's unfortunate.

ForgottenPlaces • 1 year ago

Looks like everythings been cleared in that stretch - construction according to Google Maps July 2023

ForgottenPlaces • 1 year ago

Looks like this is demolished from Google Maps 2023 - and ES HUBBELL is now in its place - active!

Hard to believe this place is abandoned... It's in such good shape!

marc • 1 year ago

It sometimes annoys me when I see photos like this, amazing places destroyed. Then I realize whoever did this has taken off YEARS of their life by not only inhaling that insulation, but disturbing it to such a level that surely their life span is now significantly smaller because that stuff will destroy their lungs over time. But you do you, go ahead and knock that wall down if you don't care about your future self.

woulda been out of there so fast if i saw this

YoteK • 1 week ago

Yeah it's just off to the side from that flooded structure and has a rusty cylindrical tank like thing on the front. Probably once had a large structure on top that this may have powered something for, though the sluice gates were way up at the top of the falls

ishootthings • 1 week ago

And if there were gates to open and close, if could have made power for that cause it would be a lot of work to manually do. Intriguing. I like it.

ishootthings • 1 week ago

It was potentially boiler for sure. It seems to be a bit away from the rest of the site, or just off to the side? Once the hazard of boilers was truly learned, they tended to position them a bit away from things to protect equipment and workers from an explosion. I've noticed even in the odd older building, the boiler is like 15 ft below the "basement" level in its own utility room (generally using steam as well).
