I think because I tried to post many images, it;s decided not to let me post just one, and will need to be fixed. It won't let me preview them. It's on the "Post your old avatars" topic.

And yet you were able to post 3 - or was it 4? - images to the "Show your Wares" thread in one post.
I see you also made a successful image post about 15 minutes ago in the "Post a pic of yourself right NOW" thread too.
It's very odd the way this issue seems to come and go.
Would you try sending me a PM with the images you're having problems with? Because it's done in the same way as a forum post you may just end up with the same errors - but I'd like to try making a test post using those exact same images from my image host to try and get any idea if it's file-related.

If you are able to post files without issue from a different image host, I would suspect the image host as opposed to the file. It's conceivable that some security software is flagging image hosts that are unsafe and/or have a bad reputation - but I'm reasonably confident there's no software running that would look at a URL and actively get that file and run any type of scan on it. That behavior is waay too sophisticated for WP.

Yep - the unstated part of my test! 
It seems to be ImageShack I see the problems with - I don't remember any for PhotoBucket (mine) and I've only ever had one or two temporary "works on first retry" errors.

 Yes...

That would make sense, as PhotoBucket actively moderates what gets posted on their site - and thus has a better reputation. ImageShack, AFAIK, is much looser about user content.

I just saved your three latest images from "Post Your Wares", copied them to my image host, and then posted them all in one post in one go - no problems.
Then I edited the post and added three more images in one go - also no problems.
I'll try this at odd times as I remember over the next few days to see if I can kick off any errors, but I suspect I won't get any.
What can I say - use Photobucket?

You are wrong, but presumably the "scan" is only to get the image dimensions. I have given WP an image from a webserver I can monitor and can see the requests it makes
When WP makes that request it does so with a HTTP 1.0 request header... the servers that it don't seem to always work on give a HTTP 1.1 response while Photobucket gives a HTTP 1.0 response. Suspect this may be to do with the HTTP 1.1 responding hosts using "Keep-Alive" and hence persistent connections under some circumstances perhaps triggering a timeout on WP's side. |
I don't know what to be more surprised at - that there's code on here that does that, or the lengths you went to figure that out.
