Trouble posting in Image sharing

[yossam]

I get a message stating that my attachment failed security checks 

[Oshyan]

What is your attachment? What extension and size?

- Oshyan

[yossam]

It is a .jpg and 702kB.

[Oshyan]

Very odd. Am I remembering correctly that you've had some trouble before?

Just had a problem as well with a JPEG.  Saved from Photoshop with settings I'd used last (progresive JPEG, 4 levels).  Re-saved using "Save for web" and no problem

Interesting. Wonder if it's something in the meta-data. Can you try to uncheck the remove meta data option?

[bigben]

Save as web + all metadata

[Oshyan]

If you try reposting the one that got refused, does it happen again? If you can email it to me at support AT planetside.co.uk I'll see if I can post it from my end, see if it's a general thing, or IP/user specific somehow.

Save for web works, standard save dialogue doesn't:
* Baseline ("Standard")
* Baseline Optimized
* Optimized 3 scans (default number)

Your attachment has failed security checks and cannot be uploaded. Please consult the forum administrator.

Awesome, thanks Ben! Very helpful. I'll look into it further.

Testing with your attachment after tweaking a setting...

Yep, works. Sorted. Thanks guys! Should work now for all.
