"Parsing Response Failed"

[alarmguy]

For around the last week I get this response when trying to post an image. Im wondering who else is affected.
"Parsing Response Failed" after the image shows 100% upload. If I remember correctly sometimes I dont get to 100% However the 100% thing now happens all the time if I remember correctly but if not all the time, 50/50 depending on the day.

This is with my Mac Desktop always running the latest updates.
and also using my iPhone 15 I get the same response trying to upload an image.

What is the file type? I'm fairly new to the MacBook Pro and I found I needed to take a screenshot and save as a jpeg before I could attach a file.

I see that error quite a bit on my iPhone. Usually have to close out and reopen and works fine after.

Apple's HEIC format won't work, the uploaded file needs to be .jpg .png or .gif

This, but easily converted. Most image programs do it automatically with just a .suffix change.

Yes, that has worked for me restarting my Mac desktop, but not all the time.

So the HEIC format does work but I guess not reliably yet I can go for months or longer and it always did and then read recently didn’t always work reliably

OK, thanks for replying. Just for the record out of the, (guessing)couple thousand posts that I have posted. This is the first time I’m getting error messages, nothing has changed using the iPhone and Mac mini
Here is an example. This afternoon this photo taken with my iPhone uploaded perfectly. I did not convert anything take any screenshots of anything.

I see other replies as well, simply shutting off the device and turning it back on solved the issue.

I’m not doubting what you say just telling you it does work most of the time straight from Apple devices but if it’s not supposed to, I guess there’s nothing to fix?

You have more hair than I imagined.

Fun fact: HEIC is neither an Apple nor a proprietary technology.

Apple was just the first major adopter of the standard because it is superior to JPEG in every way. 281 trillion colors vs 16.7 million; supports transparency; supports HDR; supports Live Photos with sound; and better compression resulting in smaller file sizes while maintaining superior picture quality.

I’ve also had zero issues uploading HEIC to BITOG.

Well, I'm never one to let facts get in the way of a good rant! lol

Actually, I think I can save pics in HEIC on my Pixel also, but, it causes interoperability problems with text messages for me.

Same. Not consistently. This is with .jpg on an Android. I don't believe it's a file type issue.

Edit. When i get the parsing error...it's when I'm using the insert button. If I go to the attach file button...it will work.

Yesterday a couple pictures spun and spun never loaded. Today seems ok
