Sometimes if switching tabs in Chrome on returning to STW I find the page reloads and deletes the reply to a post was midway through writing. (Caveat it can take me a while to write posts)
Yep, I’m getting the same issue again when trying to upload images. A box pops up claiming that my image isn’t a valid jpeg or is more than 10mb. This is on Android / PC chrome and I even tried Firefox and MS Edge with the same result.
Interestingly. If, after downloading my images from google photos, I then open them up in a picture editor and re-save them…. they upload to the site fine.
Am I just going about the image embedding thing in a very awkward manner? In my luddite understanding of the world, I have to download the images onto my device then upload the image from that device to the Singletrack post. Am I over complicating the process?
@Beagleboy – as far as I can see you’re doing it right. I occasionally get that same glitch too. I’ve got around it by saving a screenshot and then uploading that 😂
The “are you sure you meant to do that” failures seem to be increasing. And we can no longer just press the back button to retrieve the text, infuriating when you have spent a few minutes typing something out.
I can’t for the life of me post a classified ad, it says I need to upload at least one image despite saying 100% progress across all images. Tried one image, tried multiple. Multiple attempts in Firefox, Chrome and Edge without browser extensions. Guess it may be linked to the other reported image upload issues?
Tried to post a PSA on the sticky thread today and returned a “fatal error”. But it appeared to have uploaded but the forum front page didn’t ever show my post as the most recent addition.
Also, on iPhone, safari, cannot get into the discounts page. Add the emailed code and it just returns you to the “enter valid email” box.
I think I’ve got to the bottom of the media upload issue. It’s not a format issue or a file size issue, it’s a physical size issue. An image 3000 pixels across told me to bog off despite being well within the file size restrictions, resizing it to 800px uploaded fine.
