unable to attach images to post
« on: June 06, 2018, 01:54:44 PM »
hello admins - I'm unable to attach images to posts.  I've tried new posts and replies and I get an HTTP 500 error every time I attach an image.  Can you please look into this?

I just click the button that says "Attachments and other options".  I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm using any "instructions" just clicking the button and doing the obvious follow-up actions like browsing to find the file and hitting "ok", etc.


Does this require instructions?

It looks like it does in your case. I know they helped me anyway.

Downsize your photos to under 3MB in spite of what you may have read, and what you read indicated that the size limit can vary. I doubt if they need to be more than 300KB to look good enough. Make them 8"–10" wide unless they're of a Sasquatch. Those will need closer inspection to verify if the hair is real.

Sasquatch ride k100's, which is why no one has ever caught one. If you look closely at some of the owner photos you may see odd looking facial hair. :hehehe
