Error 413 when posting

Recommended Posts

Hi, I tried uploading a couple of photos in a thread I'd started, but received Error 413.

TTB website allows a maximum file size of 2 MB to upload; I decreased my file sizes to below 2 MB, but I nevertheless receive Error 413.

 

How can I resolve this?

Hey, I tried uploading again, but I still get the 413 message. I have tried using both the basic uploader and advanced uploader; neither work.

 

My photos are all jpegs. I looked at the specifics of one of them. It's horizontal resolution and vertical resolution are both 72 dpi; the resolution unit is 2.

This gets periodically reported and I have even had it happen. I don't recall anyone figuring out why. I simply had to get them much smaller than 2mb till they finally uploaded.

Hey, I managed to finally get a photo to upload, but only after reducing it to below 1 MB. When uploading, TTB website states that the file sizes (each photo) can be up to 2 MB, thus, there is a discrepancy between what it states and what the programming actually allows us to upload.

 

Could you please change the allowed limit so that we can upload files that are greater than 1 MB? (because decreasing the photos to under 1 MB diminishes their quality; moreover, I am unable to alter them myself, needing someone else to do it. )

 

Thank you.

Based on my research, this is a controlled by the PHP configuration on the server and not within the forum software as a setting.

 

I have put the request into the owner to see if we can get that bumped up to help members hitting this problem.

I faced this problem as well. Could not find a solution.

My experience was that I had to, over time, continually decrease the size of my pics.

Started at 1mb when it said 2 was the limit.

Now I can't post anything above 18kb very odd.

This does seem odd... so off to query the tables.... and I find that you have the 3rd most uploaded files on the site...

 

As there is a global limit per user, I *guess* that maybe it limits your current upload based on some algorithm at some point.... to keep you from hitting the limit.

Thanks for checking that out. I suspected as much.

 

No doubt I'm a picture freak.

I have 55,000 of my own pics on my hd, and triple that amount in downloaded photos.

Now I hear myself talking to my then three year old son... "use your words." :)
