God, what a pain. I had to use my broken welfare Smartphone for it, which is like making R2D2 do ballet. Nevertheless, if you want a paper copy of Possessions, you can now buy it for $5 plus $2 shipping to the US.

Clearly the problem is with me. I have tried turning off all my browser extensions, clearing my cache, updating my browser. None of it has made any difference. I cannot upload files or images to Bigcartel, itch.io, or Discord, and I still have no idea why. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them, because it's a PAIN to upload the files somewhere so I can redownload them on a Linux boot or Snitchbrick, only to reupload them again. I'm especially stumped because this isn't a global problem, and I don't even know what words to use to search for my problem (and both Google and DuckDuckGo seem to have taken downturns in quality). I'm also having sporadic problems with Patreon and Youtube, though those seem to be a "wait a day, try again tomorrow" thing.

Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong? I have no idea what changed between late February and now to suddenly ruin my basic ability to sell stuff, but it's really cramping my style.

Is your Internet okay other than this issue? Are websites loading at a good speed and not timing out?

You said you updated your browser, have you looked into the operating system/updates of your phone?
I feel like this is a kinda dumb suggestion maybe but feels worth saying nontheless; there seems like a *lot* that could go wrong in that area depending on context.

edit: wait nevermind i think i mosread and misunderstood the context, and the smartphone is a temporary measure not where the problem is ;^^
apologies

tho, suppose the same could be said for a computer OS

First I'd determine if the issue is linked to a computer or the network. If all units on the network have a problem, then the issue can be either the modem, router, or ISP. If you have more than one system on the network and one can upload while the other can't, then it's going to be computer related. If you've already done what you can browser-wise, one possible thing you could do is flush the DNS on your system

Other test might be to grab a browser you've never used before, IDK like Vivaldi if you haven't heard of it, and see if you experience any change when attempting to upload. If a fresh, new browser, does not give you any problems, then it could be something cookies related, and you may need to dump your cookies for those specific websites from the browser you typically use. (which seems like that might be a factor if you were able to get something to work on PaleMoon)

If that doesn't do anything, you may need to do a virus/malware check.
