Invalid Images??[not solved any more]

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Tue Apr 04, 2017 7:55 pm **(#1)**

For some reason any image I try to post, comes up as an invalid image. Even images that I posted earlier today are now coming up as invalid. Hmmm??

I've been experiencing the same issue with PNG images.
So I changed them to JPG and they posted as normal.

I don't know why this is happening,
but it could have something to do with the Gimp Chat server.

Jpg won't go for me either. I transferred the picture I wanted to post (jpg and png) to my phone to try and post but every time I go to preview or post, it kicks me back to the login screen. I am running GC in desktop mode but that didn't help.

I tried the jpg again from my phone and it's coming up invalid.

Sorry about that,
but I have no idea why this is happening.

It's happening to me as well and I have no way of repairing this issue.
This is something that Omega would need to deal with.
:oops:

PS
I sent an e-mail and a PM to Omega about this issue.

Seems fine here also. Have you tried different browsers?

I can try IE on my laptop. Chrome gives the error on my PC and phone independently.
I tried shortening the filename to only three letters and an extension, but it is still a no go.

I'm getting the same error with IE. I also tried try loading and saving with a non-Gimp picture editor to see if there is any difference. No difference. I'm getting the same error.

Now that is weird!! When it gave me the error, I backed out of trying to post an image and just posted message in text. Somehow the image came through??? Now I"m really confused!

I think this is an intermittent issue.
I was able to post 1 jpg, then 2nd said invalid image.
Opened the 2nd jpg in MS - Paint, resaved it and tried again, same problem.
(that move normally works for me if a jpg won't load).
Then I tried loading in a different thread, same issue.

At this time, same problem trying on this thread.

It starts becoming a generalized (BIG) issue!

Now I can't upload any images.

The last one tried by me, it loaded the top 1/2 only.
I deleted the post, if it had loaded the bottom half
I would have left it. Since then, nothing goes up.
Every week, at least once in the morning I can't log on.
If I use a proxy site, then I can log on, but can't upload from proxy site.

Uploaded these images using FireFox...

JPG image

PNG image

GIF image

Could not upload any images using the Edge or Chrome browsers.

Wallace · **Posted:** Wed Apr 05, 2017 12:29 pm **(#16)**

Now FireFox will not allow any image to be uploaded.

I was the whole evening with the same problem, but I have just been able to post my images. Thank you Wallace, I think you have done it possible.

I didn't do anything.
Still can't upload any image type.

I can't post anything again.

It seems to go from time to time. :roll:

Yes,
it seems to be intermittent or,
occurring at irregular intervals;
not continuous or steady.

I have no idea,
what could be done to fix this issue.
