Getting the following error every time I try to upload an image anywhere on the site:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON
at parse (<anonymous>)
(anonymous) @ client.js:1
Is this a site wide issue or something I could fix?
There’s a size limit of 100kb, it needs a more explanatory error though.
Is that going to change? 100kb seems quite low
I think the idea behind a low limit is to push people into linking to image hosting sites instead of hosting a ton of media on here.
I too would prefer images to be hosted locally, but I get that storage and associated costs can snowball pretty quick with something this big.
The 100kB limit should be OK for avatars and banners, which can’t be hosted elsewhere.
Hopefully, it can be bumped a bit higher in the future.
I have a 80 kb pic I am trying to upload as an avatar and also getting a JSON error
That definitely shouldn’t be happening. If you happen to be on either platform, you could DM me on Matrix (
@sunaurus:matrix.org
) or Discord (@sunaurus
) - if you send me the exact image that is failing, I can debug further over the weekend.deleted by creator
Well. I just tried it again after I saw your reply and it works. Thanks again for all you do for the instance.
