I get the "Error: Upload Failed" when I try to upload profile image on vivaldi.net
-
anyone else has the same problem?
-
On the forums here or your blog/albums space?

@operic The image is probably too large on disk.
- PNG is often the best for images with a lot of text. Use IrfanView to compress it first. (e.g. the screen shot below)
- For large images, especially with photos, JPG will give smaller file sizes.

@operic
We've confirmed the issue and we're looking into it.
Thank you for your patience. -
@operic Yep, almost every time & for several weeks. The workaround i discovered was to continue drafting my post, without the images pasted in. Once the text part is ok, i copy it to clipboard [just in case the auto-save ever fails]. Then i reload the current forum page [which closes the Compose window]. Next i re-initiate the post or reply, usually finding that all my text reappears in the window then. This time, having done that reload, now the image/s paste/s succeed/s, no errors.
Iirc this has been 100% successful. It's a PITA & i hope it gets fixed... but at least this workaround has been reliable for me.

@operic The issue has been fixed. Please try uploading a new profile image on your account's profile now.

@Steffie That looks like a different issue. The bug that was fixed is about updating one's profile image in the profile on Vivaldi.net, not on the forum.
Edit: I updated the post title.

Fair enough... another problem that needs solving -- good luck with it.
