olddbrider Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Anybody else ever get an error message when trying to upload an image? It's super informative, saying "-200". Image size is only 7.8 mb, so it's not a size thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'll bet it is the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the ambition to upload through a third party. Running Mac OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Are you trying to upload from an iCloud library or as a saved file? I export the image from my photos library to my hard drive and upload with no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the ambition to upload through a third party. Running Mac OS. I just copy/paste from a screenshot of Preview or whatever source. It seems to be the most reliable. Command-Shift-4 to capture the picture, then Command-V to paste it into the text field. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notyal Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I think the upload issue has to do with Apple's new .HEIC image format. If you use the Tapatalk app to post, it will convert the image to a .jpg for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 That makes total sense. Will need to try that in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notyal Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 You could also try an online converter like this one: https://heictojpg.com/. Just upload the photo and download it as a jpg. Only takes a few seconds. (This is just the first one that came up in google. I have no personal experience with this app vs. the dozens of other options.)

I've done it numerous times in the past, so I'm not sure what has changed... I just tried the copy/paste method someone else mentioned. That just says the image is "Queued" and then does nothing. I know on the old MoJo site there was a limit to the amount of files you could upload, but I didn't think that was the case since the forum moved here. I guess I could try deleting some of the previous images I've uploaded and see if that has any effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 If anyone has problems uploading images, please let me know and I'll be glad to help. If an image isn't attaching even though it seems to be uploading fine, it's probably an issue with the image, such as being an unsupported image format (although that's rare). I upload images to forums running this software from my phone all the time and haven't had any issues. For the iPhone there is a setting for the camera, "Formats", with two options, "High Efficiency" and "Most Compatible". Mine is set to "Most Compatible", but not sure if that's the default.. There are three ways to upload images when composing a post. You can click the "Choose files..." link that will prompt you for a file. You can drag and drop images directly into your post. And you can copy/paste images as well (place the text cursor where you want the image to appear, then paste it right into your post). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olddbrider Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 As I said earlier, I've posted numerous images to this site. At least one to this very thread. I'm familiar with the different methods and have tried all three in this instance. I'm on a laptop running Windows 10 - the same laptop and OS I've used to post most (if not all) of the other images I've uploaded. The issue is that now when I try to do either of the first 2 methods you mention I get an error that simply says "-200". When I try the copy/paste method, I get a black square with a progress bar that never moves and some text over the black square that says "Queued".

Albert Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 @olddbrider I'm going to send you a message with an email address you can send the image to and I'll see if I can post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
