Theres a couple things that could have been causing this. If you're close to your upload limit, it can get buggy if it puts you right at the edge of your limit. An unsteady connection could cause the ajax to error out (it keeps waiting and waiting and finally says "If you don't have it yet, its too big"). Same goes if the original image had any kind of error in it (it'd cause an issue when it went to resize it for the post thumbnail). Any of these could cause a false positive for the size handler, or just cause a random issue during that check.
I've added you to the increased upload limit group in case it's the first one.
If you have any issues uploading again, let me know and I'll prod curse to take a direct look.
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately the problem still seems to be there (I just tested). I suppose it could be my connection, but I can watch youtube videos, etc., without any noticeable hiccups.
I also tried using standard Firefox (I'm normally on Pale Moon) and it still happened.
It's not a big issue for me (after all, it does upload the images if I try enough times) but I thought you all might want to know.
P.S.: When you say "upload limit", do you mean the per-file limit, or is there a global limit to the size of all my uploads? If the latter, how can I check whether I'm approaching my quota?
Is it the same file you're trying, or are you using different ones?
(Try a different one if you haven't already)
Before you do, hit CTRL+F5 just incase something is cached incorrectly.
It may not be a big issue for you, but I'd still like to get it looked at/fixed/etc.
The aside: You have a global upload limit. It's rather high, but if you've been here years and done things that needed uploads you'll eventually hit it.
I've tried a few new files. The first time, it worked, but this was a fluke because I tried again as an experiment and it rejected it. The second file didn't work the first two times. Based on my experience, I bet it would work eventually if I tried it enough times. The third file worked the first two times I tried, but failed the third time.
There didn't seem to be a difference between pressing Ctrl+F5 and not pressing it.
I now think the problem might be some weird connection or browser issue that for some reason only happens for me on MTGS. The reason is that I have noticed another thing happening, which is that sometimes I will preview a post and the page will display with no style.

After trying the same thing a few times it eventually worked.
I've attached the image to this post for reference. It took 4 tries to get it to stick.

Sorry for the issues.
No longer staff here.
