Weird error while uploading a PNG image.

For security reasons, framing is not allowed. Click OK to remove frames.

enter image description here

I'm just reporting this, I don't know what it means but for the context, in case it's helpful to SE:

  • I was uploading a PNG image.

  • The image is 2500px x 1400px, not significantly huge.

  • I can view the image just fine, but it does consistently draw this error on upload.

  • The error is triggered after the image has fully uploaded.

  • What's your image weight? I know there is a limit, but it's supposed to resize the image if it's too big. See this meta post. It might have also been reported here, not sure if it's the same problem.

    @Yisela It's 5MB. Converting to 1.8MB JPG fixed the issue.

Yeah, this is a known issue; imgur won't accept large images, and the upload UI doesn't handle failure particularly gracefully.

    It's creepy how fast you guys are at looking at these bug reports. On Meta.SE, seeing an SE dev jump on a bug issue "I'm taking a look at this" -- Next day: "fixed" , is kinda impressive. But an oddball bug report on some random SE site late at night? Man...

    The trick is, you don't have to jump on all of them all of the time... Just enough so that folks think you're watching.
