Hello! On my hosted installation of Discourse, I’m suddenly having an issue where my attempts via Chat DM to upload a photo (I tried both PNG and JPG files) get stuck on “Uploading” like this: [Screenshot_11_17_25__09_12] It happens on both mobile (iOS using the Discourse Hub app) and on desktop …

Hmm… someone reported something similar earlier today, of issues with uploading images and avatars (they’re stuck at 100%). Topic was here , though it doesn’t seem visible now.

Thanks for the report @donaldsoncd - our team is having a look now. We’re not sure if it’s the same issue as before but will report back.

Just worked for me on Mac desktop with Chrome! Thank you.

Hey @donaldsoncd things should be fixed now. It was an issue with configuration on our end. Appreciate your patience here.
