It happens often that people try to upload multiple images in their post editor at once. If they see a few successfully loaded photos and accidentally don’t check that ALL of them have been uploaded, the post ends up containing something like this:
```
[Uploading...]()
```
… that looks like an unclickable unusable link:
Uploading…
It is counter-intuitive in that it is not clear why an image gets converted to a link…
**Proposed solution - quick:** disable submitting a post while there is at least one image which is still being uploaded.
Alternatively, it would be helpful to at least automatically remove those `[Uploading...]()` entries of not fully uploaded images from a post. Note: the actual text inside the brackets to check while removing from the post should be internationalized.

> Hey all, I couldn’t find a related topic, so I started a new one. We are running Discourse v1.6.0.beta9 +3 on the [Fairphone Forum](https://forum.fairphone.com). I was composing a post with multiple photos (~6MB each) and dragged them into post composer one after each other. They were uploaded correctly, but “Uploading…” appeared more then once per photo. Actually it appeared once for the first photo and then twice for the second, thrice for the third, etc. Luckily photos get uploaded only once, and not multiple times. ####…

It’s already i18ned 😉 The string is in `client.en.yml` and is called “`uploading`”.
