Attachments failing to upload

Post by Horse »

Now here's the oddity: I'm posting a screenshot as an attachment, to show I'm having difficulty posting screenshots as attachments..

Been happening, intermittently, for a week or two.

NB. Google Pixel image editing doesn't do 'resize'*, so I often take screenshots of photos to reduce their size.

* Why not, FFS?

Just testing, it doesn't help that even a screenshot is over 3Mb

Looking at the error message I would guess that the forum software is failing to access the image address for some reason.

Try renaming the image to something simpler - that tilda "might" be confusing things?
