Unable to upload a picture to answers, questions, etc.

+2
−0

I'm using Mozilla Firefox. When I try to upload a picture to a question or answer, I get the following error:

error: "Images must be one of png, jpeg, jpg, gif"

However, it would be easy to verify whether or not I have the correct file type for the picture. I'm 100% sure that I'm updating the right file type.

When I use the internet browser's inspector tool and attempt to upload a picture, I get the following response:

Status: 400 Bad Request
Version: HTTP/2
Transferred: 1.24 KB (53 B size)

Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to copy more specific information? (if so, then please elaborate)? Is the token generated by this request not valid?

Operating system? Firefox version? Actual filename (including extension)? Filesize? "I'm 100% sure that I'm updating the right file type" doesn't say what the file type is.

@manassehkatz I've tried this on other internet browsers like Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer (so the OS is Windows 10). Same results. Using the latest version of Firefox (no beta builds). Picture is a 14kB .jpg file. File name was "Capture.jpg" because I was simply using the snipping tool and that's the default name when you save an image.

That is very strange with an actual .jpg extension.

Send me the image you're trying to upload? art@ should work.

Are you having problems with all uploads or just this one (or is this the only one you've tried so far)?

@monica Hmm actually, I just now tried different pictures. That seemed to work... That's really odd. They're both pictures of the same file type... I don't understand why I can do other pictures but not the one I was trying to do.
