I think it does work (eventually), but lately it's been really slow, which gives the appearance that it's not.

After a random upload, the provided link will sometimes take 30 seconds to a minute to actually display an image.

I've had to take my award-winning content to imgur a handful of times this month.

I’ll try to take a snapshot next time. The post says it’s complete but the picture is empty. I’m doing this from an iPhone if that helps. All my settings are good. It may be a postimage issue. Thanks Chicken.

It was messed up for me (not working or working very slow, even the upload from their website) but it worked fine a few mins ago.

I believe this issue is specific to Chrome and not Safari, for example.

Looks like I was wrong.

Here's one example in this thread.
quote:





Both are essentially the same image (bottom is the original from twitter), but the postimages URL is not rendering it at full resolution – sometimes you get served the "small" or icon version instead, like there's not enough bandwidth.

After a refresh or two, it will correctly display the full-sized image.

Here's the LINK to the full 1099 x 587 image on postimages.

It's the same image that's erroneously displaying as something like 185 x 100 in the post linked above.

One of my posts is also doing the same thing. Sometimes it will display fully, sometimes it won't, with the exact same URL link.

I’ve noticed images link from postimages shrink now. They might look fine at first, but eventually they shrink.

How can I resize a posted image to make it smaller?

I've been having the exact same issue. It seems to be on the Postimages side of things.

Use the width attribute at the end of the img markup link. The numerical unit is in pixels.

Here's a visual example I made a while back, regarding sizing team logos appropriately for the body of a post:
