Weird bug uploading certain images?
Sorry if this isn't in the right place; I wasn't sure where best to post it. I've noticed there's a weird bug when I try to upload some images.

Re: Weird bug uploading certain images?

Just to mention cause its what i use, hopefully they do not do anything with the imgs they say the remove them after 1 hour or so.

Re: Weird bug uploading certain images?
I don't think the first one did initially. I had to optimise and lower the size down before it uploaded. I'll try just using JPGs from here on, but I'm sure the same issue happens whether with JPG or PNG.
