    Tried to upload empty file

    Tried to upload empty file.

    I keep getting this message on roughly 35 to 40 percent of files I try to post.

    That only appears normally if the pic you are trying to upload is more than the 1.5mb imagizmo (board hosting site) allows.

    so unless you resize it to the same dimensions to make it smaller you will have to use an external host

    not a good idea: it destroys the quality. just use another host.

    Yes sometimes the system honestly advises that the attachment is too big, but other times you get the "empty file" message.

    I have just tried again to upload A file to the Jeri Ryan Thread.
    Image size is 870kb.
    And I keep getting the same message.

    I don't have this problem as well.
    Is it only happening with certain files and works fine with others?
    Could you upload a file that gives you errors to an external host and then post a link here so I can test it myself?

    Too big!

    Allowed Extensions and Sizes:
    Archives -> Maximum Upload Size: 1 Bytes
    Flash Files -> Maximum Upload Size: 1 Bytes
    Images -> Maximum Upload Size: 1.5 MB (gif jpeg jpg png tif)
    Videos -> Maximum Upload Size: 1 Bytes

    So basicly, all you can attach to the board, are pictures.
    Large files need to be hosted externally, (ie: on rapidshare, megaupload etc)

    All vids must be hosted externaly and just the link posted, along with a preview pic and the file size.
    I use mediafire
