What the title says. I try to post to a topic, picture and text, and I get a 400 error code.

    I used to get 400 errors when posting pictures. I eventually tracked it down to image size. If I shrank it to under 500Kb it went through every time. Sometimes a little larger would go through but every picture under that made it.

      I’ve had similar problems and this was the issue. The problem is there’s no way to know what the requirements are from a user’s point of view at the moment of posting, and the error doesn’t provide useful information, so it just looks broken.

      I don’t know how much can be done within the app about the error messaging, but having a way to squish down the image in size and compression within the posting flow would be really helpful.

      That might be it. I tried clearing the app cache, and it still wouldn’t go through. I can obviously make posts. The image was the problem.
