Uploading images

Kinda weird, I can post images through Flickr, but when I tried to upload from my pc directly, it uploaded fine but when it was finished it gave me a mssg that said my cookie failed or expired. Happened 3 times so Ii went through flicker instead. Tried logging out and logging back in, said my cookie was saved alright, but still wouldn't let me upload image. Thanks for any help!

I've heard one similar case before, but I have not been able to reproduce the bug.

If you could answer these questions please it may help me narrow the search, thanks.

Do you see the image thumbnail after the upload is complete?

The message is "Security token failed/expired, please reload the page and try again.", right? Where does it appear, exactly, on the page?

After the error message, reload the page and click that REPLY or NEW THREAD again. When you open the upload images tool, do you see the image you uploaded there again?

What browser do you use?
Do you have some Security Suite running?

Thank you for your assistance.

I got the security token error too. It happened with either google chrome 41 or internet explorer 11. The error appears in the dialog for uploading an image, just after it does whatever re-sizing the site does. The image loaded, the web site indicated something was being done to the image, and the error occurred. McAfee security center is running, but it has always been running on this PC.

Edit:
I was able to post an image this morning. When I attempted to upload one of the images that was giving me trouble, the error occurred again. The image that gave me trouble was ~8 MB, the one that posted ok was ~5MB. It seems, in my case, the error is related to the size of the image or the time it takes to upload (again related to size).

Thanks for the report. I have some clues now.
How long do those large file uploads take approx.?

Took just over 60 seconds to upload.
