"I don't like things I hate"
Hi, I wanted to report an intermittent issue I sometimes encounter when uploading images from my phone.
When attaching a photo to a post, the uploader occasionally fails and returns the message “Parsing response failed.” In many cases the first upload attempt appears to do nothing, and it can take several attempts (sometimes 3–5) before the image successfully attaches.
Here are some details in case they’re helpful:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S21+ (SM-G996U1)
Browser: Brave (Chromium-based). I previously used Chrome and observed the same behavior there as well.
Image format: JPG
Typical file size: ~1–2 MB
Example resolution: ~4032×1816
This occurs when uploading directly from the phone’s camera gallery. The file itself appears valid, and retrying the upload eventually succeeds.
Because the error message specifically says “Parsing response failed,” I wondered if it might be related to the attachment uploader expecting a JSON response but occasionally receiving an incomplete or malformed response from the server (for example due to a timeout, token mismatch, or truncated response). It seems consistent with the client-side uploader failing to parse the server response on the first attempt.
I thought it might be useful to report in case it relates to the forum’s attachment upload handler or mobile AJAX upload behavior. If there’s any additional information that would help diagnose it (browser console logs, timestamps, file examples, etc.), I’d be happy to provide it.
Thanks!
