Error when creating a post

Dear mods,
I’ve just tried to create a slightly lengthy thread (including ~40 pictures) and constantly get the following error:
F2FED7F1-9514-4E6F-91CC-9E4068528A8A.jpeg


Apologies for the quality, it merely showed for maybe a second before the next one loaded and taking a picture with my phone was the only way for me to get it. This is the next screen:

89180A86-DF1C-407B-9DD0-491C78D4FC40.jpeg


Happened on my windows computer on both Chrome and Edge (which I ran as a test).

Any idea what I can change? Tried again and again but it’s always the same. The error occurs every single time I hit “Preview”.

Thank you!

Not sure it is related but I've had to download each page twice to get all the pictures for the full day. I thought it was due to a bad connection but seems to happen here only.
This never happened to me before.

Now I’m really curious to know the rest of the “Did you know 43% of cyber” fact that got cut off. 📖

Does this mean this is an open thread??? Got dog pictures at the ready!
Even have reptiles humping from another thread.

Worst comes to worst I can always recreate the issue and try to scroll down quickly. 😁

Does it work if you post the thread or post then go back and edit in the images 5-10 at a time?

I can't even get to that point anymore. I've deleted all pictures from the post, hit "Preview" again, got the same error. Now, whenever I start a new thread, all my text and the title are there, but after a second or so I get the error screen.

Also tried my phone (iPhone 13 Pro; latest Safari), and it's the exact same thing. And since the website seems to remember my latest draft, I also can't start from scratch.

Fiddled around a bit with the errors, so after the initial "checking if connection is secure" it does show me "Connection is secure" for a split second before the final error occurs (see screenshot above). Not sure if that's relevant for you, I'm really bad in dealing with anything IT-related. Glad I manage to turn on my phone in the morning.

For completeness (already mentioned it to @dsio in a PM: Creating a thread and adding the pictures later via edit also leads to the same error.

If this is all just a big scheme to drum up a pile of interest in the thread you are trying to create I have to say it is working... 😉

Could it be you need to clear your cache on the smartphone?

Since the draft for the post is always there when I try creating a new thread, regardless of which device I use (and they're not connected), this can't be the solution, unfortunately. It must be saved on the side of the forum, not on mine.
