Can't Add Pictures, PDFs, of ANY Size to Threads

Admin(s):

I am aware that this site has picture-size limitations lower than most forums. That said, I have successfully posted pictures in many threads since joining a year or so ago, as long as I resized them before posting, to make sure they were well under, say, 1 MB.

However, today I tried to post two images, about 500 KB and 800 KB, and ran into an "Oops ..." message. Same problem with my attempt to include a 600 KB PDF file.

Similarly, long-time member @Delray stated that he ran into this problem yesterday; see his post https://www.bmw-scooters.com/index....rs-and-air-filter-but-all-in-good-shape.2698/ .

Could you look into this, please? I really think there's a brand new problem with the site's software or its setting. Thanks.

Uploading directly got me the oops as well. May I suggest that you check out Imgur.com to host photos to use on forums. Very easy and free to use and I havent run into any limitations on size or number of photos. And you can get the share links for several types of posts so that all you have to do is paste it in.

@EvilTwin:

Thanks for the reply, your suggestion, and your time.

OTOH, I pay a web host already, so I can just put some pics up on my web site.

More importantly, I'm pretty sure that there was a recent glitch in the forum's software, which @Delray and I encountered, AND which appears to be fixed now. Just a few minutes ago, I merely dragged-and-dropped -- as with some older posts -- a pic (400 KB) into a post; no tricks, easy-peasy, and it worked fine now (see my post in https://www.bmw-scooters.com/index.php?threads/c400gt-valve-check.2706/ ); this was the sort of thing that didn't work a few days ago.
