It's not working - just like half of Canada.

With all due respect and don't take this the wrong way. Its nice to see We are not alone.
I remember when I first joined this site, during the in the Harper era, and we couldn't upload images directly—we had to host them elsewhere, and we were perfectly fine with it.
Now, these young folks who expect image hosting right here are just spoiled!
We were happy.
We remember 300baud to 1200baud dial up boards, and 10 minute downloads of each image where you watch the image slowly appear line by line. Zipping everything, and file sharing programs that could restart from where it left off when the connection dropped.
We remember drawing images by hand on paper with a pencil, and being driven to grandma's so she could put it on her fridge until we left.
And my great^250 grandfather, who sought out a cave so he could paint hunting pictures of the animals that got away.

When all we have left is " we remember when" I think its time to put on our slippers, check into the retirement villa, and try the soup !!

I vaguely remember references to the fairer sex's nether-regions being described as looking like a cleaved cat. Just because it's nostalgic doesn't mean we need to revisit that era. This one time I'm thankful that the pic posting feature isn't working.
Posting images from website links works fine using the [ img ] tag.
Uploading still fails.

"Oops" implies an accident.
So far this has been standard operation.

My low-tech brain cannot process the work-arounds RB is proposing as solutions. My practical brains says WTF, thousands of other sites using Xenforo aren't having this problem so what are the collective "we" doing wrong?
My solution...I'm going to contact Battle Beaver and get him to engrave an image of a picture I wish to post onto one of his potatoes. Then I'll use that potato to stamp the image onto sheets of paper that I'll send out to each forum member by Canada Post during a CUPW job action. Expect to see my pictures in your mailbox sooner than a permanent, practical solution here.
