Hi,

This is mostly addressed to the mods/web admins/developers. Whenever I try to post an image in jpg or png format in my post on this forum, system rejects the post stating that the message contains a mobile number.

There is no number in the text or even something is there on the image, I mask it. Just in case there's any OCR implemented by this site.

Presence of an attachment like png or jpg is wrongly being interpreted as mobile number by the AI.

Hope this will get fixed soon. Earlier I guess I never had this issue. I have uploaded a few images in some of my posts.

Thanks and regards.

Quick Summary

Users are reporting that the forum system is incorrectly rejecting image uploads (JPG/PNG) by falsely identifying them as containing mobile numbers. This issue appears to be caused by an overly sensitive OCR or AI filter, even when numbers are masked or not present. A suggested workaround is to convert images to sketches or stylized versions before uploading, though a fix from the moderators is hoped for.

I faced the same problem. Even for some amounts are recognised as mobile numbers.

Hi Rajesh, it sounds like the forum’s system is mistakenly flagging image attachments due to an overly aggressive OCR or AI filter. One workaround you might try is to preprocess your images using an ai photo to drawing tool before uploading. Converting your image into a sketch or stylized version sometimes bypasses these detection issues while still keeping the visual content clear. Hopefully the moderators can update the filter soon to prevent false positives like this.
