What the title says. I’m trying to upload an image but whenever I go to attach it, I just get SyntaxError: JSON Parse Error: Unrecognized token '<' twice. I’d demonstrate but uh that’s kind of my issue. I’ve tried from the site on mobile and on desktop and it’s the same issue. Community doesn’t seem to matter because I don’t even have to get that far to try.

Seems like it might be due to file size. Anything more than a few hundred kilobytes fails to upload.

Yeah ok this was indeed the solution, compressed the image down to ~600KB and it uploaded fine.

Got same error, solved by reducing size. The error message would need some improvement, though...

Haven't tried uploading an image today, had same error as you, didn't work on jerboa, did work on mobile site.

Will try again later (when I have something to post)

Yeah it's a file size issue. I had the same problem trying to upload a gif.

Ah ok. I shall attempt some image compression and see if that works shortly.
