A little help?

I can no longer upload pictures-- this has been going on for maybe about a month?

If I use the "Manage Attachments" tool, the pic will look like it's uploading, until the entire secondary window (select file, etc.) just goes blank.

If I try to use the Attachment Manager on the right side of a post, the pic will look like it's uploading until the very end-- then I get a "Server responded with a 500 code" message.

I've tried resizing, but no joy with that effort.

I'm analog in a digital world, but things used to work fine.

TIA--

I ASSume that you're using the web interface, and not one of the smartphone apps?

FWIW, Attachment Manager drag/drop is working for me on my MacBook:

How much resizing? From Mega Ultra Huge to Huge Only? ;) They don't seem to declare that, but there must be a quota you can be running into. I recall Lady Jane's user avatarLady Jane used to unload her pictures that looked unrelated and non-personal :) in bunches, regularly. There must have been a (technical?) reason for that.

Nope-- I've tried resizing from MB to KB and it makes no difference. I still get the "500 error" even with the pic being 700-900 KB.

I’ve been having a lot of trouble as well. I used to be able to drop a few, insert them, and no issues. Now, I am lucky to get one picture uploaded at a time.

Let me try it. :)

This one comes uploaded via the Attachment Manager on the right side of a post (101.6 KB):

.

And this one via the "Manage Attachments" tool (788.9 KB):

.

(Both pictures were downloaded from the "LOL" off-topic thread around here back then. I guess I could find the source posts and provide references but I hope it's not really important. :o)

Regarding "700-900 KB" most of the picture files I have are way below that size. ;) Yet, I see M5Rick's user avatarM5Rick has recently posted his Ollie the cat's face picture :thumsup: in 2.99 MB size (in the off-topic pet thread).

My current attachment statistics is "using 26.52 MB to store 29 uploaded attachments" (including these two).

Working for me as well with MacBook Pro and the paperclip icon.

Grr. Must be something on my MacBook Air, but I have no idea were to even start trying to figure it out.

Having same issue, via Flickr embed links, and Attachment Upload.

Any solution yet?

Not working as it did before the format change.
Sorted now just had to punch in 'Recents' .
