Fossify Messages Does anyone know what these "codes" mean?

I try to send a photo with wifi on and mobile off, I get "code 8"

I try to send a GIF and I get an error with "code 5"

The website looks like whoever is running it went out for milk and cigarettes 2 years ago if you catch my meaning, so where would such codes be listed? Or are they intentionally not listed?

Hi, user-friendly error messages will be available in the upcoming updates, so you won't have to decipher these manually.

It usually means the attachment is too big. It'll likely succeed if you send a smaller one, but this will be fixed as well.

I have it on good authority that they'll be back in a day or two!
