File Upload size issues?

Maybe share your file via dropbox (or something similar) so we can test it ourselves?

I just posted it on deviantArt
Matt's Tree Stands 2 - A Real Life Map by bkh1914 on DeviantArt

I tried loading it from deviantArt and that worked!

So I tried uploading it from my computer.
The upload manager completed, but no new file image appeared.
(I changed the file name to make sure it would be unique.)

Huh?

I'm using the current version of Firefox (63.0.1)
and Windows 7 (latest update installed last night)

I know I uploaded a 5.2 just the other day and that was huge. It's odd that the jpg would work but the png not but, I wouldn't be surprised.

If that's the one I'm thinking about, I remember you talking about shrinking the image and using more aggressive compression to get within the upload limits.
I was surprised that your file was under 6 MB. Well below the current limits.

Were you thinking of the old upload limits. Or did you hit a limit at 6MB?

So I was thinking while I was doing some 'yard' work.

I downloaded the image from deviantArt and tried to upload that file.

That upload also failed.

My PC was bitchin about the deviant art link so I grabbed the file from you post #13 guild upload of it which ought to be the same.

Can you upload *any* picture of the same size as this one ? Is there a photo or something similar you can try ? Or is the problem just related to you and this one image ?

I saved the file from DeviantArt (though I did rename it) and I'm trying to upload it here. How are you inserting the image? Are you going to 'Go Advanced' then Manage Attachments?

@Redrobes:
I can not upload *any* picture over 2 MB. (jpg or png)
I first encountered this problem with an image that was 2.2 MB
If I remember correctly, 2 MB was the file size limit when I first joined in 2010.
I was only active for a couple of months then disappeared until last September.
(I was surprised that my old password still worked.)

@ChicPea: Yes, I'm using Advanced > Manage Attachments.

What?
I just went to a different project with lots of scanned images covering a wide range of file sizes.
I was able to upload files larger than 2 MB.

Edit:
Some further testing.
The problem file won't upload if it is the first file that I try to upload when I open 'Manage Attachments'
But I can upload a different file of similar size (different directory tree on the same partition), and then the problem file will upload if I add it without closing the attachments window.
If I close the attachments window and reopen it (same post), the problem file still won't upload.

That's strange.

this is another test.
I took the image from Deviant Art as well.
Then I clicked on reply and insert image (from my computer).

But when I tried the manage attachment, nothing happens after I upload the picture. I must say that I never use that option to upload images.
I only use it if I have to repost a map I already posted, instead of re-uploading the file.
