Nothing's working when trying to upload images within a post. It seems to upload, then I keep getting:

"The image file you tried to attach is invalid."

Anyone else seen or is getting this error?

What format are you trying to upload ?

Happy to try an experiment from here

I have had the same problem with a simple jpg image yesterday. It is a problem of this particular forum, I had no problem uploading the same picture to another website.

I've tried ALL formats, just to see....

But I only load .jpegs to this site and even the same images I've loaded to other threads on this site won't upload.

Well....yeah.

That's from a book.


Mine are all photos.

You’re welcome !

Thanks Michael. I just uploaded a JPG image to a thread and worked fine.

Me too. I guess it was just temporary.

Seems like it's back. No luck in uploading a screenshot in either .jpg or .png formats and reduced in size as low as 38kb.

Hi again, group, a few days ago I could not download issues of: "Microbehunter Magazine"..I was only allowed to "purchase printed copies of any selected issue"..none of the series permitted me to download the magazine ( as I used to do all the time).

I wanted to download magazine issues in which I contributed articles with images..none download for me..I may only "purchase printed copies". Is this a realted problem ? charlie g

Here tonight about 9:30pm-9:45pm..none of my images upload into my own topics, or into a reply to another members thread. charlie g

"The image file you tried to attach is invalid."

"The image file you tried to attach is invalid."

"The image file you tried to attach is invalid."

To keep the experiment simple … I am about to try uploading the same small scan that I did before:

and yes, I get the same error message.
