    The image appears to upload, gets to 100% and then I get an error message:

    Security error occurred. Please press back, refresh the page, and try again.

    I even tried logging off and back on and I get the same. By the way, I don't see a way to cancel a post. When I returned the post I started was still there.

    I posted this in the wrong board; sorry. Do I need to post in support?

    I get logged off when I try to upload an image unless I tick the "keep me logged in button"

    I had that happen in 2014, I switched to Mozilla FireFox and it helped. That said I'm not on FF anymore, it only happens if my picture is too big but my internet is bogged down so the error message does not pop up. Try cleaning your cookies and starting the post over again, that's helped me before.

    It could have been the size of the image. I was adding the image directly from my phone through a USB connection. I usually do some post processing on images before adding them. I just created a post and it upload without any issues but I had cropped and resized the image first. Maybe it was the FHC image processor had some issue with the photo; I am sure they have limits and resize images that are too large to help with server space. At any rate I was able to create a post and add an image so it is working now.

    This is it. Size of the flle is too big. it would be better if it didn't say it was a security issue, but rather a file size issue

    Click the “thumbnail” option and be done with it.

    It wasn't the actual posting of the image; this happened just after the upload reached 100% before anything appears below the edit window with options to insert full or insert thumbnail. Also, I don't think that matters because the image is already sitting on the server, the thumbnail options just insert a thumbnail of the image that is already on the server; I don't know if they create the thumbnail at upload time or they create it on the fly.

    However, this gives me the opportunity to ask a question about images added to posts. I have seen posts where the images are a series of thumbnails and you can click and then use a slideshow to view the images. How is that accomplished?

    I don't think that would solve the issue, if the file was too large to allow uploading.

    Magic....

    That happens when a member chooses neither option- thumbnail or full- but instead just hits reply after uploading images.


    You’re probably right. It goes without saying- I’m no programmer. But I am pro grammar.

    :yes:
    I just think to the casual user that they think they broke the internet by getting a message saying it that way, versus simply saying that the picture is too many mb.:handshake:
