Dear Kinja: Why don't my images show up?

This is something that’s been bugging me for a while now. Every time I reply to a post using an image, the image doesn’t show. Eventually sometime in the next 15 minutes or so, it finally loads. Frustrating as hell because I can’t ever tell if my post looks right.

Why is this happening?

Have you sacrificed a fuel injector yet?

You need to sacrifice a fuel injector. It helps if you play Highway Star in reverse.

I read that as “delivery method to ISIS” and it was amusing and potentially accurate, depending on how things pan out.

Pretty similar, except for delivering to ISIS the explosives are on both ends and the package comes back down.

Except you’re hoping that it does blow up.

I can’t even post pictures from like 1/2 the devices I use. Just get ‘image upload failed, please try again’.

Same here.

I’ve had that happen too. I want to make sure it’s right before my editing window expires. Sometimes I open it back up for editing, which allows me to see the picture, so I hit publish without having changed anything. This often allows the picture to show for me.

I’ve tried this too but only have about 50% success rate.

Yeah, same here. It only seems to work half of the time. It’s frustrating because once that editing window expires, it’s locked in. The question is: what’s locked in?

I’ve found myself furiously trying to edit and re-edit at the 14min mark, hitting publish only to get the message “post save failed”. Great. Well, whatever it is, it’s permanent now.
