Recent problems - I can not post pictures. Why?


Recommended Posts

Were you trying to post in a thread, or in a gallery? I have been able to post an existing attachment in a thread, using "other media", "insert existing attachment"

Edited to add: I tried to upload a picture, and I see the error message you reported. I will advise the site administrator of your problem.

It appears that text posts still work. As a picture is worth a thousand words, one wonders who will be first with their thousand ? Maybe we need a 'One Thousand Words' topic to accompany the 'No Words' one ?

Don't know, but since spam is greatly reduced some adjustment to the spam filter may be involved.  I have always hated and refused to engage in the "when in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout" drill.

Gadzooks, sirrah, that approach has got the British Army where it is today - that and NAAFI tea.

I am getting this error when posting certain JPEG images from Chrome, but no errors for some other JPEG images. At this point I don't know what works and what fails, but obviously I am able to post the following image.

Reported it yesterday, it was present this morning, I was out for several hours and it appeared to be fixed.  Was able to post then, but not just now again.  No idea what the issue is - since there has been less spam, as I speculated earlier that might be involved.  I downsized, pasted and used the choose file function.

This is what I saw earlier during the day today, but it's clear others were able to post since then. Now I'm still getting the error message that Shun posted.

I'm using a PC with Chrome and Windows 10.

I noted that the site was progressively running slower and at times returned error messages - this happened during the last 36~38 hours.

During this time my access was, at times, restricted and sometimes disallowed.

When I could log in, I saw evidence that work was being done.

This work was at an access level beyond what my traits allow. 

It appears that changes have been made and it seems the work is now completed.

I reckon it's very good that this "clean and service" has been done, so to whomever did it, thank you.

Just tried to post to the Phone Friday thread and got the "Sorry, an error...." message.

I could add a JPG image. I am using Microsoft Edge.

Try logging out and logging in again - i.e. using your password, not using 'favorites'.

Now I am back on using Google Chrome, and I tried to upload several images. For whatever reason, some are successful and some are not. It doesn't seem to be related to file size (number of bytes). Obviously the following screen capture works.

Tried logging out and back in again as you suggested William and still got the same error message. Also tried copying the image once it was open and then pasting it to the thread - same result. I'll try again later.
