This is a new problem for me that started a couple days ago. Using Jerboa and Firefox, I'm unable to post images on this instance. I am able to post images to the same communities using a different instance account. I am getting "network error" and Java errors (I'm unable to see the full error) while using Jerboa. On Firefox, I get an "image too large" error for 12 MB (edit: not GB, that'd be a huge image) images (not sure the limit) but "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" at smaller image sizes. I was able to post images on this instance before this. My Jerboa app is up to date. Any solution?

I'm having a different/similar issue today (didn't try yesterday), both Jerboa and Firefox. I get the error "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" on Firefox and an error that looks similar to the "too big" error on Jerboa (though the full error doesn't show). It's happening with pretty small images. What's up? ๐Ÿ˜…

Strange... Nothing should have changed (actually, I changed the settings back to 20 Mb), and space is fine. I've rebooted the server to see if that helps...

Seems to be resolved again, thanks, haha. Appreciate what you do!

Good! So this seems to be caused by a property that is built up over time, and cleared by rebooting the server... RAM, CPU, and disk space seemed fine when I checked before rebooting, so I am not sure what this might be. It could also have been that you tried to upload during a 'CPU' spike. Hopefully it doesn't happen again to you!
