    Can’t Upload Photos

    I tried adding a new post over the weekend, but I can’t upload any photos. I have tried at least a dozen times with three or four different photos using both WIFI and cellular and I get the same “upload failed” error message every time. I had no issues at all with my first post and the photos came from the exact same source. I am at a different IP address than I was when I set up my account, but I didn’t think that should make a difference. Any suggestions?

    Hi Willworkfortools
    This sometimes happens to me. What I have found is you need to make them smaller as this site only allows certain size images. I change the pixels to a smaller size in edit photos. Also if the are read only I couldn't get them to upload. Hope this helps.

    Thanks! I’ll give that a try. The reason I was perplexed was that I had not done anything at all to the pictures I used in the first post and they worked fine.

    Keep us posted. I can also increase the uploaded file size limit if necessary.

    I reduced the size of each photo to less than 400 KB and then all of the pictures uploaded successfully!
