An Error Has Occurred! Your attachment couldn't be saved.

Then go down to "Attach" and press "(Clear Attachment)"

I if you do this bit, (clear attachment) it should work.

Nope - it didn't work

I had typed     'I'm going to try it now with somethingI know is too big and see if it works . . .'

  then when the photo wouldn't load I hit 'back', cleared attachment, then reloaded the now smaller photo . . but the screen in which I'd typed had frozen and the little working wheel wasn't going round. 

So I had to go right back to start again at 'reply' to type this message.

I'm not trying to be difficult!!

Wiggy,

That's strange, because I tested it before posting.

I typed some text. I attached an image that was 2 Mb. The error page came up. I pressed back. The messages was still there. Then I went down to Attachment and (Clear Attachment). Then pressed "Post"

Yes - the message is still there when you re-attach the photo - - - but the page is frozen and neither the message nor the photo will post.

It is strange . . .  but I see that 'groom' has had the same problem  (another thread running about not being able to post in the Common Room) and has got round it the way I do by posting the message first then going to modify to attach the photo so the message at least is posted.

I suspect others have the same problem as lots of people post their messages and then the photo appears a bit later.  Don't know that,  but suspect . . . .   

Going to try again . . .

Can you give a link to that thread please so I can have a look?

What browser are you using?

[Wiggy]

No - didn't work again . . .

Here's the other thread.

I use Firefox  - it is great I find!     Or Google - -not sure which name you want . . . .   shows how much I know! 

[trystan]

Thanks, yes I'd already replied to that one.

If it helps I tested it on Google Chrome.

[Wiggy]

Well, I will just manage it with my Firefox, as I don't use Chrome.   

Odd though isn't it?     

[trystan]

Yes, it is strange. I've tried it now on Firefox and I get exactly what you're getting too!

I'll see if I can work out a way of fixing it somehow anyhow, although as it appears to be only in Firefox I'm going to struggle a bit
