As of Jan 3rd, GoElfYouself is offline. The problems with uploading are typically user error. Having the correct file size (no larger than 2MB) and format (.jpg, .gif, etc.) is the usual problem. Then when you save the Elf production, it copies a link to your clipboard which you must paste into an email to send to friends. Failure to paste this link to an email is a huge problem for those who think they are able to send through the website. You can’t! On the flip side, once a proper link is sent, it may take a while for the ElfYourself video to load. This may be a problem with the receiver’s connection speed or website bandwidth. Many people are using the site when it’s active. The key is to be patient when waiting for the video to load and you may have to “refresh” or “reload” if it hangs while loading.

Anyway you’ll have to wait ’til next year to try these tips as the “Elves are gone for now.”

it took 3 tries before it did the final load for me, not sure… possibly high traffic volume? Did get a bit frustrated at the labour involved, but so desperately wanted to do it as it was way too funny to see other family members doing it. 4th try, it worked fine, and had no problem viewing it nor did others I sent it to… Seems to be a flukey thing if it works; just glad it did for me, finally! wheeeeeeee

very cute idea but after you upload the pictures and view them you cannot view them again and anyone you send them to cannot view them

Site does not work. Unfortunately, after uploading photos, it will not send. Cute site, right idea, but does not function.

This morning an employee at Zicht got to see the following screen “Elves on Strike“, when visiting Elfyourself. Negotiations have been settled, and Elfyourself.com is back in the air.

My friend sent one to me. VERY FUNNY! I was able to load hers with absolutely no problem. Needless to say from all the negative feed back I’ve been hearing about elfyourself, it wouldn’t upload my pics. I have been trying for days. This is very very frustrating.
