What is up with that 500 error: "We know our site is whacked and we are working towards a long term solution, but for now just re-crop it a teensy bit and try to upload again and maybe it'll load this time. Sorry for the inconvienience."

Does it actually say that if you load an image that's too large? Never really done that. LOL! Wants to see a screen capture.

This is not to be confused with the 'Your damn picture is too big' form validation error... this is a glitch.

You're kidding I hope. AS

"I want to be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now"

I embellished the wording somewhat (excercising artistic license and to avoid copyright infringement) but no, I am so NOT kidding. The message actually included verbage to the effect that it was a known intermittent problem currently under investigation. Now if you go to the trouble to doctor up the error message - that tells me you think it's going to be a while before you get it straightened out...

About 153 KB - a slightly smaller version of your avatar there skippy... I actually resized it up to get it in.

I never have seen that message,and almost everytime I load an image I get a file to big. Still havent got it through my head the compression thing yet. I also always make the thumbnails too big.

Oh...you mean a pic into the forum that was over 200kb...okay. I thought you were trying to put some pic with plantery dimensions into the gallery... AS

I don't know what kinda math they do in LA but 153 KB is under 200 out here on the East coast - I actually enlarged it to 196 KB to get around it. At the risk of being painfully redundant, this was in no way, shape, or form, a file too large error.

I'm sure it has to do with the major changes made on the site recently. (Marketplace) AS
