I did this already. Even when I log in with a different browser same result. Doesn't matter it's Chrome, Opera or Firefox.

I did some analysis and found this:

Code:

Request URL:
https://cdn.permutive.com/f389d50a-32e0-478b-9d4b-2d4592528bea-web.js
Request Method:
GET
Status Code:
403 Forbidden
Referrer Policy:
strict-origin-when-cross-origin

I don't understand why I get here a forbidden (403). I think this produces the issue.

Is there any progress on this problem? I really would like to post pictures but it still doesn't work.

I'll open a tech ticket

Upload of file failed
 
I'm trying to upload an 800K jpg. Clearly, size is not an issue here but I keep getting the message "Upload of the file failed".

It seems this has been a common issue for a while. Have there been any recent updates on this issue?

I've tried using both Safari and Chrome on my Mac.

Try a non-Apple device, maybe? You're on a solid connection, correct?

Not reassuring that this was last commented on in summer of last year with no progress, but I have the same problem. Have tried multiple browsers, turning VPN off and on, triple-checked that file size is within limits. No matter what I do, I get "Upload of the file failed." I can't post photos anywhere on FT and it's really, really aggravating.

For me it works fine from my iPad:

But it stopped working on my Mac with FF about a week or so ago.

Is this seriously a mac thing? That's insane...

I just checked. I can upload photos via my phone, but I hate trying to write posts on my phone and I can't be the only one.

More than 99.9% of my posts over the past eight years have been by phone.

...okay? I didn't say everyone hates writing posts with their phone.

Anyone have any clue about how to get the issue with posting photos sorted? Is there anywhere to report the problem other than here?

Let's tag IBJoel and ask for feedback on that tech ticket opened in #64 ?

Im having the same issue. iPhone running on iOS 18. Im resizing the pictures to under 1500x2000, and using a photo editing app to make sure the file size is under 1,000 kb. Can’t upload pictures to FT no matter what browser I use on my phone.

I used to be able to post pictures directly from my iPhone.
