testing...website issue?

I have been trying since Sunday evening to post a photo, but I keep getting a message that the website may be having issues or may have moved to another site. This happens when I click the add attachment button, after choosing a file and clicking store original. I get the same response from MS Edge edge and from Google Chrome. Thought I'd try sending a post without an attachment, and see if it goes through, and if others are having the same issue, or can advise on why it's happening to me.

Having same issue across multiple platforms suggests that maybe the file is too huge. Try again with a 500k file size. Then you’ll know.

Here is a 14 mb dng file (no thumbnail will show with dng; you will just see the download link). No issues with Google Chrome and Spectrum internet service.

This site's limit is 20MP per image. If you need ideas on how to resize, consider this post that includes screen-prints of 'how to' from popular software at the end. Recommended resizing parameters for digital images

I make my images 1500 pixels on the long side - jpg.

Thanks folks, I'll check the size of the image and see if that's the issue.

Have you tried turning your computer off and restarting it? Perhaps there's an update that will solve your issues?

So... Don't know why I didn't try that first, it's my usual first step for any computer related issue. I checked the size, and it seemed to be acceptable, so I did as you suggested, somewhat sheepishly, and it uploaded just fine. Thanks so much, everyone, for your help. If you want to see it, it's in the gallery, titled "spiderwort"
