I’ve been looking forward to this feature for a long time. I just upgraded to the current version of Discourse, and it’s not working. I’ve tried to reproduce this in various places with varying results.

- This is the test image, 5.48 mb: [https://www.ushpa.aero/media/photos/pg\_2008\_00\_hires.jpg](https://www.ushpa.aero/media/photos/pg_2008_00_hires.jpg)

- At my [main website](http://forum.driveonwood.com), uploading this image goes fine until it reaches 100%, then it stays at “Uploading 100%” forever.

- On a small dev install (also on current version) it gets to 100% then starts over from 0%. Repeats this indefinitely.

- On [http://try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) (and here on meta) it uploads to 100% then says “Sorry, the image you are trying to upload is too big (maximum size is 3072KB), please resize it and try again.” Possibly these are not on the latest version?

Steps to repro:

1. Find an image larger than the image size limit but less than 10MB.
2. Try to upload it.
