Unable to upload pictures

Attempting to upload a picture onto a post causes it to hang while uploading the picture. Posts without pictures have no problems. I have tried this on both an Android phone and a Windows PC so I do not think it is a bug with my account.

I feel like this is an extension of this bug or a result of the fix, so I don't think I should make a separate topic: currently gif previews are not showing up. Gifs will still loop if you click play, but on pause will show a broken link.


Example:


still down, unfortunately. we're doing what we can on our side and are going to investigate alternatives to our current provider to resolve the issue.

We're aware of an issue with one of our providers and they are working on fixing it!

this seems to be broken again even for very small files

any fixes for this? I've compressed my file down to below 500kb and its still not uploading. Text posts seem to upload fine, just not images
this hadn't happened to me in months until today, right now I'm getting this problem trying to upload 4 images (about 500kb each). it's happening on mobile chrome and desktop Firefox

Fixed!

Having just tried to upload a 2.2Mb file in firefox I got a 503 error from staging.cohostcdn.org but I've just tried editing the draft and the image has successfully uploaded.

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.

This bug got to me. Left multiple posts to load on both cellphone and computer for about 1 hour and none of them did. Good to know images under 500kb can load, but if it says we can load images under 5mb we should be able to post any image under 5mb. I found a 1,88mb image in a post so this doesn't happen to every user.

I'm having this issue as well - my image is 679Kb - but I have cohost+ so should be able to upload this picture. 

 Thank you to arborelia! The <500kb suggestion it what fixed the issue for me :)

i also encountered this, 2.4ish MB PNG wouldn't upload from Firefox Android or Firefox iOS. it did the "invalid attachment" thing as a draft for me too

Also been experiencing this all day both from mobile and desktop firefox.

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
