As of today, I had the same problem uploading files using Safari 9.0.3. Updated to 9.1 and still couldn't upload a file. Found that this resolved the issue for me: ~ Go to the 'Preferences' page for your account settings. In the 'Options' section - ~ unchecked the box that says 'Use the Flash-based uploader to upload attachments' ~Save the changes Let me know if that resolves the issue for you.
Firefox 46.0.1 I have this problem everytime an update on GC happens. It always effects my pc. I I am still getting generic error uploading message as of today. I have my system to auto update for firefox and delete cache, history, etc when browser is closed. Thanks GC. Just providing honest feedback.

I have been on here for awhile now and never ever had any problem with uploading. About the same time as everyone else I had the error message too. Mine doesn't say anything about an extension, it says there was a problem uploading my file, and no explanation as to why. I also tried to upload using the "Add Media" up at the top and it gave me the same thing. Hmmm, I also upgraded to that windows 10, maybe that is effecting it. I use Firefox and have used it the whole time no problems. Is it windows 10?
can you please try disabling Flash Based uploaded from your preferences Screen Shot 2016-05-31 at 09.12.14.png and test
@ICGreen I'm having an issue uploading as well... I'm familiar with uploading photos, so process isn't foreign to me, but every time I try to upload a photo I get the following message: "The following error occurred... There was a problem uploading your file....[File Name].jpg" Could it be a browser issue? I changed the size of my file (though when I click "Details" I'm well within my upload limitation); changed the extension... nada.
Could you post your browser, OS and any other pertinent information? @Lizard King will need that information in order to help you.
Hi guys, having trouble uploading pictures. I saw Lizard King's suggestion. How would I do this on a mac? Does anyone know which settings on need to go to in order to do this? thanks S
Your OS doesn't matter, the setting in the screen shot are for the forum. In the upper right, hover over your avatar place holder, then click preferences.
I was having a similar problem on OSX, using Firefox, and getting an errors that simply read "The following error occurred There was a problem uploading your file. [name of file.ext]" Since I am new/not very active, I assumed it was just a badly coded message saying I didn't have privileges. I copied and pasted text with embedded images onto a post, and the images are there, so that made me really curious. I tried to replicate that but only got links to non-existent media or an image tag no pic... ICGreen suggested this thread, and here's what happened: I hadn't really tried anything, so I started with the obvious, making sure FF and Flash were updated. Seemed to be, but I downloaded the latest version of flash anyway. I was able to upload to my media but not to a post. I restarted again and now it seems to be fine. ALSO I also have a Win 7 pc, and there I still get the error when trying to upload from Firefox, it DID work when I turned off the "Use flash uploader" option, so there is that. Chrome worked ok. Didn't try IE (never touch the stuff). Note: Safari on OSX also seemed to work when FF didn't. (pic uploaded from FF on OSX)
or not... I am getting the error again... it did work, and now it's not Seems like what worked was turning off the Flash uploader and clearing my history/cache.
I am currently on the GC app. I was uploading pics by using imgur but it quit working. I read their terms and services. They say anything illegal posted. They will contact the authorities. They even added "We mean it". So I deleted my pics , deleted the app. I can not figure out how to post to GC. Either thru the app or straight from website. Any tutorials? Here's a test of a pic.
