Sorry if this has been asked before, but the last thread I saw was old and I really didn't want to necro it Wink

I was just not trying to post in the requests section, but it's acting... odd. I can manually drag a photo from my PC to the post and it appears in the edit window as it should, but once I post it's just gibberish text. Trying to insert an imgur link does nothing whatsoever.

For clarity, I'm using Firefox 68.

Just tried uploading a multitude of different PNG pictures that I have never posted from my phone and PC. Each time I selected the Choose Files button, selected my file(s), and then clicked the add attachment button. Each time the site responded with, The file upload failed. Please choose a valid file and try again. I have yet to try the image uploader that requires the URL and width and height. Even if that thing does work it's more trouble then it's worth when uploading in mass. I have previous threads with pictures I've uploaded but this issue is new for me. Is anyone having similar problems?

Can you please try a file that isn't a PNG? I need to determine if this is an issue you're having with that specific format, or an issue in general. Upload a JPG that you've never uploaded before.

PNG should work. If they have the same name (or a common name with other files like 1.PNG) that's an issue though.

@Porkchop -- are you receiving an error message? Try a couple of small JPEG/JPG images that you've never uploaded before. The smaller the better.
