Image Attachment Issue after upgrade to 3.2.1

Post by mrix2000 »

Hello all, my site is very heavy on image uploads using the attachment feature of phpbb3.2.1, after the upgrade some members have been contacting me to say there is now a problem when they try to upload images, these images are well within the dimensions I set in the ACP but when some members upload them the software is stating it is far too bit :?

One member sent me this image below then I asked him to send me the pics in email and they were actually around 400px by 400px, I tried to upload them to my forum my end and all was fine but he and a few others are getting this issue ?

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
mrix

Hello Yes it does appear to be a similar issue, his issue is with avatars and mine uploading attachment images, hopefully something can be reverted to get this working like it was in prior versions.
Thanks

Hello all, I have a fix where by I have asked members to safe the problematic images as png, gif which is not ideal but a temporary fix.
Does anyone know if this problem is recognised by phpbb or will they have to be notified ?
My site consists of a lot of daily uploads using the attachment feature so its something I would notice far more than most :cry:
Thanks all

Hello yes the users are resizing them to keep within the size of the theme I use using various different programs, there was never an issue before the upgrade, no complaints at all, there definitely appears to be a change since the upgrade.

Hello, i am the guy from the problem topic linked in the 2nd post of this thread.
On our board its also on normal attachments, on Avatar it was the easiest way to reproduce it for me.

Are there information regards a patch to this problem?


Best short time workaround so far.

If you want to "repair" your picture then
  1. Open it in your favorite image editor (mostly thru CTRL+O), then either
    1. copy it to the clipboard (the picture's 150x150px canvas, not the file - this means to most editors CTRL+A, then CTRL+C),
    2. create a new file with the same dimensions (mostly CTRL+N),
    3. paste your clipboard content (mostly CTRL+V),
    4. save the file (mostly CTRL+S).
  2. ...or save the file in a different format (PNG, GIF, BMP...).
That way the metadata will not be copied (in case you choose JPEG as format again you'll notice a big difference in the filesize) and phpBB will finally recognize the correct dimensions.

Hello Yes I did report it has a bug but it got closed and directed to another example, to be totally honest the bug system unless you understand it seems a little complicated, well certainly in my mind so I am not really sure if the issue is going to be fixed, has already been fixed ? this side is very unclear to me :?

Hello I used your advice on my forum which certainly helps as a fix for the time being so thanks for that but my forum has around 20 to 50 attachment uploads every single day and I am being contacted by so many members explaining the same issue, I have made a post but that tends to get over looked.
Hopefully a more permanent fix can be put in place asap
Thanks for your efforts
