I keep getting an error when posting pictures.

I used to take a screenshot of my picture and then post it to make the file size small enough to post, now that doesn't even work.

This is the error I get:

Error #-200: HTTP Error.

Any help?

I've had the same issue for several months now. Hopefully someone has some idea of why and how to fix it.
Edit: it seems to work some of the time now if I try repeatedly. Weird.

Can we get some more info? What device are you using, what browser, what is the image format, name, and file size?

Will see if I can help, but I have nothing to go on here.

Can you email me a copy of one of the images you are trying to upload? I imagine it's more the image file itself than your device.
You only live once, but if you live right.. once is enough.

Hello sir, It just worked, and then I tried again and it didn't work. It's a 244kb screenshot.

I'm not sure how to email you sir, sorry. I don't see an email icon on your profile.

Tried a 2.2 MB camera photo and various screenshots, all instantly get the #200 HTTP error

I don't even get an error message.
I contacted a moderator, and he basically said, it works for me.

I resize the pic to less than 2mb.  Use jpeg format but still won't upload.

I have no issues with Marketplace,  Offer Up, or Craigslist.   Just won't work here.

I wish it would.  I have things to sell.

are there any spaces in the file name? (ie "image file.jpeg"). If so, try removing the spaces (so "imagefile.jpeg")

I just tried renaming the file.  Nothing.

I get to the Add Pictures part.  Click select file.  It goes to my pics.  I click on a pick, click done.  Goes back to the ad form.  Click upload and nothing happens.

WTF ?????

Do you have to use a pic hosting site ?  Or cloud service ?

Like I said, Craigslist,  Marketplace,  and Offer Up all work.  It's a shame it doesn't work here.


Ok, this may be the issue.
I just Googled the problem.
Mr Google sez direct uploads only work on "pay" memberships.  Otherwise you have to use an external hosting site.  Copy and paste URL in your ad.
If that's true, it's sad the above mentioned sites don't require paid membership, but Arfcom does.

Ah, I missed that you were a free account. Yes, image uploading to the site does require a paid membership

Which level membership enables adding pictures to a post?   The membership level descriptions aren’t completely clear on this.  Thx.

Uploading pictures to the site is a paid membership feature. Without it, you would need to upload them elsewhere, copy the URL, and then you can add a picture to the post.
