I used to drag and drop files into forum posts. This was particularly useful for sharing local images in a post. But now whenever I try to do this (I’ve tried with pngs and pdfs) I get the following error

> Sorry, there was an error uploading that file. Please try again.

Does anybody else have this problem? I recall first seeing it around the end of March…
