--- Quote from: AaronB on November 01, 2020, 12:24:42 am ---There is no warning on uploading a large image that will break the size of all images in the thread, so how was I to know? A security warning when you then break that limit is also not very helpful. But thanks to you all for berating me for trying to add information in the simple form of a picture to the thread I had started. It really makes me feel welcome as a new poster - I guess there isn't a :sarcasm: icon either.

The problem is that some people need to upload large images. e.g. large high res teardown photos. But most people do not need that high for ordinary posts, but the setting has to be made to allow for those few that need it. I can't edit the message that gets displayed that's embedded in the forum. Well, I probably could edit it, but I'd have the go into the forum code to do it.
The easiest way is to use imgur and paste the embed code rather than upload the image directly here.

I agree it's not very helpful that the forums warning messages don't properly indicate what your 'security' problem was. Like others mention it may have to do with the images size and maybe there are clues in the SMF forum specs as to what limit you exceeded.

It may be because the individual image size is set the same and the title size and it's getting confused or something. I'll change it.

Be interesting to know what you find.

If it had happened to me I would've tried to post it some other way as 3.5 MB is well within forum limits.
Never had issues with pics straight off an iPhone or camera which I then shrink down to a few hundy KB using MS picture manager but here I store everything locally.
Maybe it's a Google drive bug ?  :-//

FYI, there is no security check on file uploads, that feature is disabled.

Cerebus:
I've just had the "Your attachment has failed security checks and cannot be uploaded. Please consult the forum administrator." error that has been bothering some others.

It was a single 386kB JPEG photo, freshly taken on my phone, cropped with my usual tools, all things I do regularly on here with no problems, and it wasn't accepted. Took a new photo and uploaded un-cropped at 747kB and it went through. Definitely something screwy going on here.

The final, successful post is here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/cleaning-glue-residue-from-screen/msg3316856/#msg3316856 if anyone wants to dig in log files proximal to that posting.
