Error....something went wrong while parsing server response

I've just encountered this. file size less than 5mb and in jpg.

@louisbosco can you send me the image please?

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco 8256 × 5504 image dimensions is pushing 8k territory so a simple re-size should do the trick. You can make it x4 smaller at least.

@jtaylor69 Am I right in thinking changing the error messaging is not straightforward out of the box?

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco this is 2000x1333 compared to the OG and still very good res for screens.

Awesome photo's by the way

[louisbosco]

@AdamJ cheers. the trackside photographer did good work.

What’s the recommended/ max resolution for the forum?

[jtaylor69]

@AdamJ that's right - it's something I want to see improve and will raise with the NodeBB devs

Could someone remind me how to embed a web picture into a response? I can't seem to find the right button, and obviously the [img][/img] tag doesn't work. Thank you!

If you are doing it from here (again on a PC), then hit the "Upload Image" Icon above

[JDelage]

I'm on a Mac. If I click the upload image icon I get the option to upload from my drive, not to embed a web picture.

@JDelage We removed the shortcut for it as no one seemed to use the functionality, and it confused a lot of people trying to upload an image. @AdamJ may know the code for it, I have forgotten

[Giles]

I'm on a Mac. If you copy the web image then you can paste directly into the post...

Ah, yes that works. Obvious in retrospect. Thank you.

Yeah, super duper easy when you know
