It seems like uploading files to the forum isn’t working anymore. I receive errors similar to this when I attempt to upload attachments, avatars, etc.:

> [@kirupaForum](#):

> Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file.

The above error occurs when you give a URL instead of directly uploading a file, but direct uploads fail too. I just figured that _that_ error message would be more informative.
