I see it now. Originally saw the wording in your post #1 and assumed it meant like wouldn't work and then scanned too quickly for it. I expected to see something like the actual word "like" and didn't notice the thumbs up and thumbs down hiding among what looks at first glance like just a bunch of smilies. Plus they're all hidden (at least for me on desktop) unless I hover my cursor over the post.

I was browsing the new site, updated my avatar, never had on. When I went down to save changes, it tossed me this error. Look in the file I am uploading I hope that works as I think. Ignore the profile specific age of this user.
Btw. had to convert this file from tiff to png for it to upload, sorry about the large azz image size.

@Sully I sent you a PM about notice saying that it contains spam words also. Slowly I'm getting used to the layout. I like that we can @ users on the forum now too! When we @ a user do we get a notification that a user has @'d us?

In the Media section, I successfully created an album, but am unable to upload images from iOS at this time. I get an error saying that the image is too large and cannot be processed by the server, though the jpeg in question should be 4.5 MB in size (at least according to exify, an app that tells you that sort of thing.)
I tried 3 or 4 different jpegs, and made sure that they were locally saved on my iPad rather than just being in iCloud. The progress bar went through to complete, but then the error popped up for each file. It didn’t matter If I tried one at a time or multiple files.
Just FYI
PS - the same error also happens if I try to upload a new avatar
Thanks! -
If the above is the case, the short term work around is a change on your phone. You would need to go to Settings / Camera / Formats and choose "Most Compatible" -
Just tried the profile update, same issue. My profile apparently contains spam words?
Also I’m having the same issue with images even posting into a comment. “The uploaded file is too large for the server to process.”
I’m using an iPad Pro (12” version 1), iOS 11.2.2 (Updated last night), and have never used the HEIC option (turned it off day one). I did confirm with Exify that the image in question is a 4.5 MB JPEG
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -
@Zapski OK - interesting. I have the smaller iPad Pro. I need to look up the image size for the ipad 12" (i.e. number of pixels)... that maybe the issue. Currently the max pixel size is 12MP.. I may need to adjust it as the max image storage size is 4.5 MB... I'm not on 11.2.2 yet.. I'll try some things before upgrading and then upgrade and try again. Give me a few minutes on this one..
I'll be testing on this thread (pics that are already there are from something else)

I got the Avatar to load, by cropping smaller.
Looking at the file info for what I wanted to upload, it’s 12.2 Megapixels- taken on an iPhone 6s+ 4032 x 3024
That seems to be pretty standard for my phone’s camera, even my current 8+
Maybe I it’s the extra 0.2 megapixels? -
Looks like I can change my current status in the sidebar. It’s on the profile page where I get spam words warnings.

Browsing the new site, trying to figure out how to get the info I want. At least I was able to update the avatar to a square pic --- pretty painless. Anyhow, here's a quick-fix problem for someone to fix --- very low priority and probably old news. Under "Forums-Discussion & Chat" the last item on the drop-down menu is "Restuarnts" --- pretty sure it should be "Restaurants", but double check for correct spelling before you fix it. Maybe fix the linked page title too?
When I get the new site figured out, I'll probably update my bookmarks (I use a desktop) --- easier than filtering each time. Good luck satisfying all the members --- change isn't always popular. -
Regarding Restaurants - thanks. I'll make that change. -

Wish we had a new thread / post button on the top right like we had before.
It a pain to keep going to Fourms > new post.
