Hi,
Sorry if this isn't the place to post this, but it's by far the best I can find...
I am having problems attaching pictures to my topics.
Had the problem for the first time a few days ago. Took a few pics in a row of the setup on my workbench, repairing a CD player, so all pics are technically identical : dimensions, file format (JPG) , compression ratio etc.. only the data / contents of the pictures change. Yet, some pictures will upload just fine, but some will not. No matter how many times I try... it just refuse to attach them. It uploads them, but once uploaded I guess it runs some clever AI to "look" at the pictures... and decides it doesn't like that particular pic, and returns the following message :
" Your attachment has failed security checks and cannot be uploaded. Please consult the forum administrator ".
"failed SECURITY checks " ?!

How dangerous and threatening can a broken 30 year old CD player be ?! .................
The latest failure was a few minutes ago, tried to upload a screenshot of my oscilloscope to show a waveform :

Tried to fool the server by changing the file extension fro PG to HEX, hoping that would keep it from being "analyzed" but no luck, even as hex file it gives the same error message...
I guess I could send it to directly via e-mail to bypass the forum, if you have one you are willing to trust a random user with ? I am not a spam robot, I swear...

Hoping this temperamental behaviour can be fixed, not being able to upload pictures reliably on a forum in 2020 feels rather weird
