This is probably related to the issue, where I may be trying to post a meme or whatever picture and it just won't go through, always giving a -200 error. At worst, it's taken days for me to be able to post such again. There's something wonky in the backend, when it comes to handling uploads.

-200 is a generic error, but generally it means that the forum timed out trying to process the image. Lossless compression can make that worse, but lossy compression or dropping the resolution helps.

 

Could you upload one of the non-working versions to somewhere other than the forum so that I can test it out?

I'll DM it to you as an attached file, since it's below 20MB

I'm not @Moonzy but one of my GIFs does seem to always trigger the error: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3lnmlbf9wtllem/window.gif?dl=1

Testing with @Moonzy's image, I can confirm that it should work significantly better come the next forum update.
