  • I’ve had similar problems and this was the issue. The problem is there’s no way to know what the requirements are from a user’s point of view at the moment of posting, and the error doesn’t provide useful information, so it just looks broken.

    I don’t know how much can be done within the app about the error messaging, but having a way to squish down the image in size and compression within the posting flow would be really helpful.





  • Modern dating and the apps and stuff sucks for everybody (except maybe a few) in varying amounts for various intersecting reasons. The fact that our insecurities are priced into a company’s business plan is no fun. It’s just a truth that the default answer to the question, ‘is this a good match’ is ‘no’, and it’s probably healthy to limit the influence that has on your self image in whatever way seems sustainable while also being open to serendipity. It’s hard to feel good after being ghosted, but dang if it’s probably better than getting any closer to that kind of person.






  • I run into this problem too. In my case I finally figured out that it’s an image size problem, as the other commenter said, though the error doesn’t message that, it just fails without explanation. What I would like is an image resizer within the app so I could just shrink it down, and generally some way to know before failure what I’m supposed to do. Some of that could be solved within Boost, but I understand not all of it.

    Another person said that instances will encourage uploading to imgur or catbox - but catbox files don’t get previews on Boost, so that’s no good. At least for me anyway - but that’s kind of a separate topic.


  • Oh wow. I’ve been needing to upgrade for a while and happened to be in a place where I was ready to make the purchase. The day the news about the most regressive tax scheme in history hit I went through the whole normal process of selecting all the completely insanely priced upgrade options I needed and placed the order. It’s due next week - I must have been one of the last ones.
