Error uploading image

---

Hello,
can it be that there is a problem with the pimatic forum page?
I tried to upload a picture for a post. The image was too big at first, so I made it smaller. Now it was the right size, but I kept getting the following error:
Error
Request Entity Too Large
Even with an image size of 500kB I got this error.

You uploaded 1 hour ago successfully a picture.
Whats different?

@bertreb
it was not a upload. The picture is linked from a other page.
The upload not possible for me now.

As you can see i did an upload of a .png file of about 256 KB.
Seems upload works for me. Could be the file size.

I don’t understand it. i had made/tried the upload with a mac. With safari and with firefox. No chance. Always this error. Now I was able to upload the same image with the iPad without any error. I had not tried that before. Very funny.
Obviously no problem with the page.

I used a mac with safari (to make it stranger )
A smart virus scanner / shield ?

Works for me as well!

Maybe a useful tip, don’t know but give it a try. I am using Greenshot of screen/area shots. When I store the picture I like to share in the clipboard I can simply paste (crtl + v) it here into a post. It works really easy and fast.

You’re right, very strange.I haven’t had the Mac for very long. It’s a pretty old model from mid-2012. But since it has more ram and an SSD it runs very well, I think. No virus scanner. I use Lulu. With the setting for manual rules. But I don’t think that should be the problem.
Thanks @OrTiN for the hint with copy / past. I will try it out.

Just for the record: Image uploads are limited to a maximum size of 2048 KiB. For profile images the limit is 256 KiB
