Unable to post pictures recently

Is there a limit on number of pictures uploaded, or something like that? I have been unable to upload any for about a month. When I get to the point where I have selected a picture and click, "Upload", the little check mark next to the name of the file becomes a red exclamation mark.

I'd upload a screenshot to show you but...... uh..... well....

It's not a matter of it being too big because the file was only 15.2 kb.

No limit to the number of images uploaded. Most likely an issue with java or shockwave (depends on the uploader type used). Any security software or internet browser ad ons loaded. Will need browser type, os, and file type being uploaded too.

Firefox, 52.0.1 (64-bit), Win7 Pro 64 bit. Shockwave Flash 29.0 r0 (29.0.0.171)

I have tried PNG and JPG. Not horribly huge, either. I'd show you a screenshot of the error, but..... :D

I use FF exclusively. No issues. I'm guessing some additional security programs might be an issue? Can you tell me specifically the error statement at least, or send it to support @ steelsoldiers.com?

Weird. I have no problems on other vBulletin forums, and this problem just... showed up one day. Nothing new on my end. Of course, it's not like I post every day. There's probably a pretty big gap between my last successful picture upload and the first time I had a problem. Lot's of room for changes on both ends......

One month, one day (4/18/18). Try the other uploader to see if that behaves any differently. I also checked your folder permission, so it's not that either.

Nope. I tried the Basic Uploader, and it allowed me to select a file (like the other one), but then just.... stopped doing anything. Like I had not selected a file at all.

I tried going in via the "Manage Attachments", but same same. I can attach an existing (previously uploaded) file from my stash, but I cannot add any files.


Oh, that's that Magic Smoke you've heard about, BTW.
