Cannot upload pictures to YORF

I have been trying to post some pictures and I keep getting an error message that says:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the Ye Olde Rocket Forum database.

Does anyone get this message? Updates?

I was getting the same message Monday but a half hour later I was able to upload pics normally. :confused:

It has been happening to me since last Sunday...

It has been happening to me since last Sunday...

Are you by chance using Safari? I have gotten that message before and each time it was while using Safari. Does not happen every time I use Safari though.

Using IE v11

Scott helped me figure out what may have been wrong, looks like the upload script did not like that each picture was about 1.4 megs. He reduced the size of the pictures and was able to upload them. I did the same and it worked.

Thanks to all for your help.

Resizing pics is easy to do in MS Paint...

That's what I use... or I just crosspost to TRF and their downloader downsizes the pics automatically-- then I grab those pics and upload them here...

Later! OL JR :)

I had my host make a change to the MySQL configuration which should take care of the upload issue we've been having. I'd appreciate it if those of you who have had problems in the past would try uploading the original jpg's (before downsizing them) they were having problems with to see if it now works. Just create a test message in this forum area. Thanks!
