They're smaller in dimensions and storage than other images that were accepted. Although the system responds very quickly, I guess it's slower than it will accept. I'll try again later.

stereo harness split & fault

server won't accept this file

jpg
2118 x 2985
2.56 MB

it's smaller in dimensions and in storage size than other images it has accepted and loaded
Odd the server didn’t accept the file, being a jpg and well less than 7MB
I’ll try and get a answer from tech support on this. Seems to happen to often and I figured increasing the maximum file size would have fixed it. Obviously I was mistaken. Thanks for letting me know.

Before you raised it to 7 MB, I had to reduce the dimensions to at or under 4000x4000, and strip out the jpg EXIF info. These files are that. Plus the jpg comments stripped off too.

This is the last error in today’s error log.
 “ Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow”
My guess, the server connection was just slow. Timed out maybe? The photo size seemed fine.
Not sure why it keeps doing that. I doubt I will get a answer back from tech support before Monday or Tuesday. If you want, try and send the photo to me and I can give it a should if you want.

Each time the response was very fast. Well, it was fast to tell me it took too long or it couldn't do it.

And, I see that the last time, although it showed me the same error message, I can now see that uploaded file in that post.

Odd the server would do that :banghead:
From the looks of the last photo, the black wire, ground? Looks badly burned, and not from solder. The blue one also looks burned or at least way overheated.

Framedoctor examined it closely before it fell apart. He feels it was the black ground wire that heated and melted its insulation, and also melted the other wires close to it.

Look at the surface texture of the new ground wire, you can see the heat damage in the section closest to the ferrule where the solder wicked up the strands, then a shorter good section.
