My understanding is that the imgur thing is imgur's fault, but until the image upload functionality is working I don't really know what the best choice is.

As I said, the image upload seems not to work for me for some reason. Appreciate the sarcasm though. /s

Do you have ublock Origin, NoScript or something similar installed on your browser? Maybe you have blocked the script that uploads the image or something

OK - the issue seems actually to be a lack of visual feedback when doing the image upload. There's nothing letting me know my image has been successfully uploaded, so I've been closing that dialog in frustration every time. I actually got the "We are working on resolving issues" message trying to figure out if it actually took my upload this time, but turns out it did.

Now that I no longer expect it to show me that the upload has succeeded before I submit, I think I'm good.

Funny, that image link is 404 Not Found.

Hmm - maybe I broke the rules of /m/random - it was this picture.

You've got your parties backward, but thank you.

You're welcome, and OK.

Hmm now I think I had tested that days ago, but you are making me paranoid that I did not. I will check now! Thanks!

I'm also having this issue and have been unable to create new image posts since at least last Thursday. I never notice any issue with the upload dialog, but I always get the "We are working on resolving issues" message once I try to submit my post, and when I check my post history, nothing new come up. Posting from Chrome on Android.

Unfortunately I don't have a suggestion for you, my details are different.

I use IMGBB, been using it for my Friendica as it gives convenient cut and paste BB Code which Friendica can parse. I did test Kbin and found it parses the HTML code they offer... Or at least did when I was testing, let's see, does this work?

thanks - that particular embed seems not to have worked, but I will check it out also.
