Hi. I know there have been periods of difficulty in uploading photos. No matter what I've tried to today I get "upload of file failed" error.
Firefox - desktop
Initial attempt with jpg ~4mb file; last attempt jpb resized roughly 600x800.
Generally use a vpn, can post to site with it on. Did pause vpn and upload still fails.

Thanks,
Janet

I don’t think anybody can upload pictures to the site.
Only way is to have a photo hosting site and share a link.
I think anyways.
I could be wrong. But every time I’ve tried to upload a file it’s been denied. So I do t even try anymore.

You're not wrong. Photo hosting on this site has been down for roughly three years. There was a little while when someone suggested they might look into it, but nothing happened.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't registering that users were using external sites, or at least not in all cases. I'll blame that lack of attention to detail on brain freeze.

Happy sugarin'
