moosepuggleTrying to upload cool confocal microscopy image, but I keep getting an error message
SalamanderThat is odd.. Can you upload the image to imgur.com, post it, and then I can try to upload it myself to see what happens?
I can upload my image to imgur, and I can post that, but the pretty image doesn't show, it's just an imgur link. Is it possible to show a thumbnail of the pretty picture? imgur link here https://imgur.com/a/H7KjOJ6
Thank you for your help! :)
I was able to upload it with both an admin and a non-admin account:

One idea: microscopy image files can be very big. Perhaps imgur compressed it considerably, and that's why I was able to upload it after downloading it from there. How big is the original file that you tried uploading?
And cool image, by the way!
oh! i'm on the startrek.webpage lemmy site, i dont have my account here in mander. does that explain it?
No, I just tested. The .tif format is not supported by lemmy. When it is uploaded to imgur it is transformed into a .png, so it works then!
hmm, I exported the .tif into a .jpg, and into .png, and I still got the Syntax error when trying to upload in a new post?
Then I think it may be a problem with startrek.website

when i click on this link, it says i have to log in. hmm
Ah, sorry, I thought you had already looked at that. I deleted the test post after a bit - it was simply a post of the image made by a test account.
