Unable to add images to my logs

[+OusKonNé & Cétyla]

Yesterday I was not able to add images to my logs. I tried again today and it still doesn't work.

 

Under Windows 10, I click on "Upload image", I select the image on my computer, I enter the descriptive text and then, when I click on "Upload", I have no response.

 

I tried with different browsers, without success.

 

Image size : Only 720 Kb

 

Am I the only one having this problem?

Try uploading an image that did upload successfully earlier, just as a test.  That, or somebody else's uploaded image, eg right-click, save as..., then try uploading that.

 

A while back I had problems uploading a certain kind of image with bad magic inside.  (Screenshots from my phone.)  When I tried opening the problem image in GIMP, it gave a most impressive technobabble message, do I want to convert from (voodoo) to (not voodoo)?  When I de-voodoo'd it, finally it uploaded fine.  But there should've been an error message from Groundspeak if it didn't like voodoo.

Clarificationment

Thank you Viajero Perdido for your answer!

 

This morning, I opened my photo with Adobe Photoshop Elements and saved it under the same name.

 

And now I am able to upload my photo to my log.

 

Weird to have to do this (save the photo under the same name, without any changes to the photo).

Glad you found a workaround!

 

If Groundspeak wishes to fix this (it should at least be +1'd in the bug database), here's my earlier-posted screenshot of the GIMP message, which should provide a clue as to the problem.

 

(My first impulse was to hit the orange X and go for a walk.  But I bit my lip, hit Convert, and saved it ... which produced a file that uploaded OK.)
