Dear all,
We have a problem with the Forum giving an error when users try to upload photos, since our server migration this morning.
Please bear with us, we are trying to fix it.
When you register on the Forum, your account requires to be approved by an admin before you will be able to post.
In order to try and keep the Forum a safe place for BCSS Members and other cacti and succulent enthusiasts of all ages, everyone who registers is checked. If you are a BCSS Member and include your membership number, this is easy, because we can just look you up in the database. If you are not a BCSS Member, then we rely on the data you provide. If we can't find any traces by a brief online search, your account will be placed "on hold" until you get in touch with us by email and ask for Forum account approval.
If you registered a while back and still haven't been approved, please drop an email to forum@bcss(etc) using the same email account you put in your Forum registration, giving your name, the Forum username you selected, and a sentence about your interest in cacti and succulents.

Re: Forum glitch after upgrade
OK, it seems that trying to upload an image larger than 1Mb in size results in an error message. The limit is being set by the server rather than the Forum software. In the meantime I have changed the error message to say that the image is too large, which is a bit more useful than "http error".
(It's good practice to keep images small in byte-size anyway, but I will continue to try and find a solution to the problem).
Re: Forum glitch after upgrade
All now sorted. I've set a limit for now of 2Mb for photos. If anyone doesn't know how to reduce the size of their photos before posting, let me know, I will be glad to help.Admin wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 6:35 pmOK, it seems that trying to upload an image larger than 1Mb in size results in an error message.
