I went to upload an image for a question. I clicked on upload without specifying a file and it stated:

"Failed to upload image; the format is not supported."

I find that misleading because no file was specified.

Image File Name Not Specified

I would rather see "Please specify a supported image file".

    What was changed in this last edit? Besides a single '>' in the markdown I see no changes. If this was merely to bump your question, please don't do that. There are other means to get attention for your unanswered question.

    Worth to mention that it's OK when you don't enter URL: i.stack.imgur.com/yVCfs.png

    @Bart it says "added 18 characters" so probably he added something then regretted it and removed during the 5 minutes grace period. edmastermind29 you can simply roll back in such case.

Done.

I have added some more checks for image uploads with descriptive messages.
