Limit to the amount of pictures uploaded to a post?
« on: April 18, 2016, 07:46:04 AM »
I haven't been able to upload any pictures onto posts for over a week now. When I do, is says the forum is having problems right now and to try again OR it says that I have already posted it but it never has shown up. If I post without adding pictures, everything works fine. I'm beginning to suspect there is a limit per person on the number of total pictures one can upload to a post. Anybody know the answer?

Trust me on this one, no limit on the number of pictures you can upload to the forums.

Have you tried the "basic" internet stuff? Clearing your cache/browser stuff?

I have tried that and it didn't work. I also tried using a different browser, i.e. I use Chrome and tried Explorer. I also tried starting a new post to no avail. I also took a new picture and tried that in case the one I was trying to post was corrupted and that also didn't work. They only thing that makes sense to me at this point is there is a glitch on MMM forum's end or there is a limit per user. I was hoping a moderator might be able to figure it out.

Not a glitch on the forum.  See below.  Must be something on your end.

Are you trying to do more than 4 to one post, or crossing the 10MB threshhold?

Well I got the photo I've been trying to post for a couple weeks to post but I'm not sure why. The original picture size according to Windows Explorer was 2.5 MB. I opened it up and saved it at 25% of it's original resolution down to about 370kb and it finally posted.

Could be timing out or something along those lines - maybe your upload speed is reduced recently for whatever reason?
