Can't post photos, get "Internal Server Error"

Last night I attempted to load some photos, and got an "Internal Server Error" message. Tried it again this morning after cycling the computer off and on, thought maybe it was a bandwidth thing, but got the same error.

I notice there's a new file uploader, which is much more intuitive: thanks! The uploader says the max file size for a jpg is 146.5kb, which may be the conflict because my photos are in the 3 mb range; did the previous uploader decrease pixel density, or something, to decrease file size? Or is anyone else experiencing this problem, or have a workaround? Thanks~

It's working fine for me... the uploader looks the same as always. To convert your bitmap images to jpeg, right click the image, choose open with paint, top left in paint click file, choose save as jpeg. This will not alter your original image.

Attachment 5904Attachment 5906Attachment 5905 All these were 1920x1080 wallpapers around 1.2mb. They were resized automatically when uploaded to the forum.

After your post, Zoama, I tried it again, saw the same old uploader, and it all worked fine, same as usual. Last night when I clicked "post new thread" the "type your message here" window did not include the attachments icon, so I used the "manage attachments" button below- I'll futz with it again and try to recreate it, but as you say it all appears normal now.
