It seems to be related to specific files, I can get some images to upload and some cause the same hanging error. Filesize, maybe? The smallest have no issues, once I go above 2MB it hangs. All PNGs in my testing.
I'm also having failed image uploads - two JPGs < 2 MB both failed to upload, converting to PNG made them bigger (8 MB + 4 MB) and still failed to upload.
small PNGs are working fine for me, large ones hanging when both dragging into the post box and pasting from clipboard having a prolonged "starting" dialog and then hang on uploading.
oh bonus; trying to save as draft instead of post creates a post in drafts with an"invalid attachment"
I did some testing. Attachments under about 500 KB work. Attachments over 500 KB get stuck on "Uploading..." forever.
I uploaded images with sizes up to 458 KB here - https://cohost.org/arborelia/post/4583135-empty - but a 519 KB image failed.
Having the same issue in Firefox on Windows.
Network console says it's a CORS allow origin problem
The line is a POST to https://staging.cohostcdn.org/redcent-dev that returns 503 Service Unavailable
Also been experiencing this all day both from mobile and desktop firefox.
Thank you to arborelia! The <500kb suggestion it what fixed the issue for me :)
I'm having this issue as well - my image is 679Kb - but I have cohost+ so should be able to upload this picture.
I hate to go all Business Analyst here but As A Cohost User, if there's an error uploading an image, the interface should tell me rather than sitting there stuck on the "Uploading..." message as happens with this bug.
