"Oops, we ran into some problems"

[olytdi]

I've been trying to post a 100KB jpeg photo in one of my posts all day and I keep getting the message "Oops, we ran into some problems."

Anyone know what do do next to correct this?

Thanks!

maybe downsize the picture.

isn't 100KB a tiny file?

 

[The Cobbler]

must have missed that.good point. so back to I don't know

 

[BrandonV]

No way it's 100KB. I get that error all the time when I try to upload images that are like 2MB+.

If you resize/compress them to under 1MB it will work.

 

[mervyn]

I get that occasionally. Not with a picture though. I just back up and start over.

 

[olytdi]

I reduced it from 100kb to 45kb and it posted. Don't know what that was about. Here's the photo I posted:

 

[The Cobbler]

I'm guessing file size was at or above the limit then.

What's the story on the photo?

What's the story on the photo?

MaxJax hydraulic cylinder bleeder bolt stripped -- what's the fix?

The bleeder bolt on the top of one of the hydraulic lift cylinders on my MaxJax is weeping. When I went to snug it down, it wouldn't tighten -- it remains "soft" and seems stripped. I'm unclear how to approach a fix. It's not a big deal as the lift still works fine but is a little messy as it...

your downsized photo is 48kb at this end.

I run into that "size limitation" thing all the time here because I have my camera set to take GIGANTIC images.

 

[olytdi]

Yeah, isn't 48 kb really small? I've posted photos previously that were 900kb.

I just uploaded a 1024kb image no problem. Are you sure of the size as it appears on your computer before uploading?

 

[The Cobbler]

I wonder if size is related to each section. I am pretty sure in V bulliten the admin could have varying sizes of pictures across different sections

 

[four.cycle]

No idea.
I have to downsize ALL photos in the "what did you cook today?" thread.
I do NOT have to downsize photos of TOOLS. I am assuming this program is automatically re-sizing them, as when I download my own images here - which I had to do last week - they are somewhat smaller than those images I uploaded.
Might be a "free parking" thing.

I posted a 1.04MB photo yesterday without any errors and I've never had to resize a picture. I just take a Pic and post it.

Just checked, a Pic I posted last weekend was over 5 MB, I added it here to confirm, looks like GJ resized it to just under 2 MB

 

[olytdi]

Interesting.

 

[mike93lx]

How is your upload speed with your isp? If it isn't fast/steady enough, I could see that posing a problem. I'm uploading with 300 megabit fiber

 

[ybnormal]

possibilities....
-there is a difference between JPG and JPEG
-limitation on the upload size depending on: format, # of files already uploaded
-meta-data of the picture file is corrupted
et cetera.....

 

[BrandonV]

Freaky. I've never had any luck uploading anything over 1MB.

 

[BrandonV]

I get a 403 forbidden in developer tools for /forum/attachments/upload when I try to upload anything large.

 

[olytdi]

My upload speed is adequate any other time I upload photos. I think there must be some sort of server limitation on the GJ that perhaps fluctuates with traffic(?). I don't know. I'm not a techie.

 

[BrandonV]

Oh I see the issue now. It has to be on the GJ side. It looks like the Wordfence plugin is wacking my large uploads (to /forum/attachments/upload) with a 403. It's returning a, "A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site".

Maybe @Ryan can investigate?

 

[mike93lx]

Really odd. This one is 11MB

 

[BrandonV]

Really odd.

As someone who used to have to work with black box 3rd party web application firewalls... "yes... it's really odd.".

 

[Shiftless]

Here is a very large file. I found it searching on Google for a 100 mb. Photo. Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t, but it sure looks WAY bigger than what the OP was having trouble with. If you are using a screen bigger than a cell phone try zooming in to enlarge and see the detail. Pretty cool photo if I say so myself.

 

[NUTTSGT]

From your phone ?

I can't remember exactly what the error is when I have tried to attach a picture every now and then. It won't upload.

Edit photo, save copy and attach the copy.
