Image Upload does not work on posts

[contacos]

When I try to insert a photo right into a conversion, I get a "Oops! We ran into some problems." error and if I try to use "Attach files" instead, it does not even attempt to do any upload, it just shows a blank placeholder immediately, as if something was uploaded (it didnt)

It might be too large, I ran into issues in times past that the file size of the image was just too much for the forum software.

Nope its not working - I just tried to paste a 13kb image and it failed, and attaching it only gave the blank placeholder

Notify the authorities!

FWIW I was able to upload a photo via my phone, but not via my mac’s web browser.

Testing...

Edit: Yep... broken (in Safari on Ventura)

I'll let the admins know.

Doesn’t work for me on iPhone (iOS 17 beta) either. It shows it uploading but then „error“

I've been testing this. It feels like browsers have something cached that ideally we could force re-load from our side. I have confirmed a work-around on Safari on two different machines:

1. In Safari Settings/Preferences, Privacy, clear the cookies and website data for macrumors.com.
2. Quit Safari.
3. Relaunch Safari and come back to the forums and login again.

Not that anyone *should* have to take this work-around, but that has worked for me a couple times now.

@chrberni I just tried the steps in your fix, and still get the blank placeholder when trying to upload an image.

I'm using chrome and its just not images. I tried to quote a portion of your text via the quote button and that's throwing an error as well when I click Insert quotes

@chrberni The fix didn't work for me either .
I also tried an upload from a windows machine (Win 10 , Firefox ) . No luck here either.

For what it’s worth, every time I load a page on macrumors, I’m getting a Cloudflare check before proceeding. Not sure if this is related to the same issue behind the curtain. Current version of iOS on safari.

Everyone,
A change was made. Can you test an image upload again?

 

[C0ncreteBl0nde]

I am able to upload now.

Working fine here now -- just uploaded an image to the Digital Photography August "Photo of the Day" thread.
