Photos???

sattva · 11-07-16, 10:38 AM

I use to be able to post pictures... Nothing on my end has changed so I thought maybe I'm missing something here! when I go to choose a file in Manage Attachments, I get "bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 24.4 KB for this filetype." which I had never seen before... Is this something new? and how do I fix it?

I'll have this looked into. Thank you for mentioning it.

resize the photo by cropping it, cutting out edges and stuff. should fit afterwards

Same thing has happened to me, I even checked with pictures that I previously uploaded and they're now too big haha and cropping had no affect

Same here. I am waiting for an update regarding this issue. I'll let everyone know when I have more info.

Do you guys use Photobucket?

They've been having sporadic problems for the last week or so.

It's the issue of uploading directly to the site, not a link.

@Minkness thank you

Hmmm 24.4 KB for a photo is really small size (even for a forum) and a little hard to get without the quality looking terrible. Aside from cropping you can try playing with the dpi/ppi. Would have to be 72dpi to work, maybe. Even still you'll end up with an image that'll be small.

Yep! I have had the exact same problem trying to upload pics directly to the site. Tells me my file size is too large? ??? Never had a problem before..

Ok, I had a look, and it seems that the size allowed changed. Which should not happen. I have increased the size, but I can not seem to remember what the size used to be. Could everyone please try to upload the photos again and let me know if the problem still exists. Thanks.

I just tried and this came up...
Your file of 2.58 MB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 250.0 KB for this filetype.

I can post in the gallery?

akane · 11-09-16, 02:38 AM

Ahhh... that is why my camera pics wouldn't upload directly and I had to photobucket one post. I generally use photobucket anyway but they've put limits on the space for free accounts now which my current account is about to exceed and I didn't have the post count for awhile.

You guys still working on this?
