Hi,

I’m not sure if this the correct forum to post this in, but my students and I have been unable to upload image files for the last week or so. The Add Image dialog box allows us to drag in images, and gives us a check that the upload was successful, but then it does not show in the file tree. I’m not sure if this is a site glitch or if our school’s IP has been limited from uploading for some reason since we had a lot of students using the editor in the last few weeks. I appreciate any help you can offer!

I am not sure how this relates to Processing IDE. I am guessing that you are using some sort of other IDE, in which case I won’t be able to help you.

Ah sorry, I found the link to this forum from [p5js.org](http://p5js.org). Do you know of a place to ask about the p5js web editor?

hi brianS,  
you are at the right place here.

but when i just wanted to check the whole  
[https://editor.p5js.org/](https://editor.p5js.org/)  
page did not work here.  
SO give that guys some time to work it out  
and try again later.

thanks for reporting.

@StalinIsMyFriend  
the git issue you linked to is for p5.js core,  
and not for the p5.js editor website,

and even there i would not report domain performance issues like that.

update, the site is up again, and like:

- make directory assets
- add file in it
- 
  - drag drop file like ( .png )

works fine again.

Yes, if there is an issue with the web editor in the future that seems like a bug, in general first ask about it here, then post an issue to:
