I think the cardboard box image indicates a ZIP file or a tar.gz or tar.bz or 
some kind of file like that.  (Are they called compressed formats??)

I'm not positive, but could that be the case with the large file you're trying 
to upload?

I'm actually not sure if we have size limit for uploaded files.  I guess we 
probably do, but I don't know what it is.

But try uploading it by itself.  Just the PNG or SVG or whatever format it is, 
but not ZIP or the other types I mentioned.

Let us know how it goes  :-)

OK.  Done.

If there is a different markup syntax for URLs, I didn't
find it.  Is there?

What happens is that you can upload an oversize image, but
it doesn't appear.  The cardboard box shows
instead.  Some sort of error message would be nice.
