This thread:Can someone provide me with examples of where this happens? A particular thread with these images? I can help narrow down this sort of problem if I can recreate it.
Following up on this with a thought. Susq / David have you tried turning off all caching on the server?

So is this link broken for everyone? Or is it inconsistent and works for some people and not others?
So assuming it's $250USD/month we need 68 paying members.
Right now, Friday morning, 16 members and we have 266 guests. How many of those guests are 'bots' web crawlers and the like? Do we have too much load and it's more than our server allotment can handle?
Total: 282 (members: 16, guests: 266)
On my iPhone 14+Following up on this with a thought. Susq / David have you tried turning off all caching on the server? Maybe you already ran down that path already sorry if it is a FAQ.

I tried opening the above image on my mac, safari, in a new window, and found I get a few lines of the top of the image but not the whole image. It then errors with a lost network connection.
Then I tried the same URL on my phone but only used the telecom network and turned off my wifi. It very slowly loaded the picture until nearly the end and then also failed with an error network connection lost. Screenshot below.

Turned WiFi off, waited for 5G to stabilize and got the same results as you did.First try hung up with the loading bar 1 inch from the end.
Second try partly loaded
Third try hung up

Our biggest PITA issue IMO. Is there a way to provide immediate feedback to a user when they attempt a picture upload which appears to load OK based on thumbnail, but inevitably leads to the dreaded 'unable to display' for the next 1000 people who click the image & trip on the same problem over & over again? Like if the issue is file size, a popup message comes up & immediately says 'sorry maximum image size = X MB' & poster knows he has to reduce it on his end.
Or if our web app is fussy about file extension type, same idea.
I turned the wifi off & on and it was back to normal WTF
That is the way it works now. The problem isn't the uploaded file size. It's the subsequent image optimization that is out of our control and out of the users control
