    I am getting a fail error every time I try to upload a photo to a post. I even tried a photo that I had previously uploaded and it failed as well.

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Turn what off? It is not the computer if that is what you mean. The upload indicator goes to 100% and then I get the upload failed message. I resized the image down to reduce the size. Just reporting it to the admins.

    Using Pale Moon, which is a clone of firefox; which has worked before but I think I did an upgrade of the browser yesterday.

    Yes, I meant the computer. Rebooting usually fixes the "it worked yesterday" problems.

    Also, Firefox is the problem we have the most problems with. Chrome works very well, though.

    It is slow and it will keep memory locked up even when you are not using it. Pale Moon is FireFox without the bloat or telemetry. I will try it again.

    I know what the problem is; don't want to post in the open forum but we can discuss it if you wish in PM. I have seen it on other sites as well; I think it has to do with the call back of the file manager or something.
