Quilava 1,290 July 20, 2014 Share July 20, 2014 Would you be able to provide a screenshot of the exact error you receive @Cyan Blue? 2 ^~Signature by Me~^ ~^Click on the Image above for already made signatures/graphics^~ Request A Signature | Have a Question? | Signature Tips/Tricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceeBrony 251 July 20, 2014 Share July 20, 2014 Two simply possibilities: 1) issue with browser. (I personally stopped using Internet Explore for this site) -Try a different browse. 2) File type issue -Edit the picture and try saving it in a different format Without more info, it's hard to say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilava 1,290 July 20, 2014 Share July 20, 2014 Just as a basic question to eliminate a possibility, but is the file/object you're attempting to upload over 50mb in size? 1 ^~Signature by Me~^ ~^Click on the Image above for already made signatures/graphics^~ Request A Signature | Have a Question? | Signature Tips/Tricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Blue 946 July 20, 2014 Author Share July 20, 2014 No, It's only 2.75 MB, I checked. 1 Sweet Sig by Lunia Avatar Image by PegasisterJayfeather CM By Scilight Paitanibu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceeBrony 251 July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 So no screenshot hmm? It sounds like you're getting through the upload dialog but as the image tries to load, you end up with something like this: But then it goes red and gives the fail message? (which i cannot seem to recreate now that I want a cap of it ) What browser and device are you using? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceeBrony 251 July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 Yup yup. Are you all updated? That'd be the first step. Let's walk through a screen cap upload. Even if nothing happens, maybe we can get a clue. 1) Get to the error 2) Press the print screen button 3) Right click on the desktop and select New > Bitmap Image 4) Right click the new image and click edit 5) The new image should open as an empty MS Paint (default) 6) Press ctrl+v ( paste ) 7) File > Save As > PNG 8) Come back here 9) Click Upload Files 10) Click Choose Files 11) Select the new Image you made 12) Click Open 13) Click Add Reply (even if you get the error message) I know it's a step-by and a bit excessive, but it might help pinpoint the issue. I just attempted to up load a .png file through Firefox on Windows 8 with no trouble. This is a new comp so I don't have any other OS boxes to test it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution SCS 7,537 July 21, 2014 Solution Share July 21, 2014 I didn't try that, but It did work in Chrome Thanks everyone. Awesome. For future reference, you should try clearing your cache and temporarily disabling your extensions in Firefox to see if that fixes the issue at all. Otherwise, I recommend using Chrome when you need to upload attachments. I'm glad you got this sorted out. I'll go ahead and lock your topic for now, but please send me a message if you ever experience this issue again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
