Lofter Timing Out on Uploads

Posted under General

Exactly what the title say. For some reason, at random, Lofter will just...Time out on certain uploads, no matter how many times you try. I have to upload these manually in order to archive them. Anyone else having this issue?

I've seen two or three other people mention this issue earlier in the morning as well. The extractor's been working fine for me any time I've tried it but I believe this has been a long-standing thing where a link needs to be put through the uploader 2-3 times before it succeeds. Probably something on Lofter's end?

As I'm typing this I'm on my ~6th try to upload a specific image, while another instantly went through. I have noticed posts that time out will not work if you directly upload the link from the image instead of downloading it to your device but this might just be a coincidence.

In the case of post #10519211, everything else from the images attached in the posts properly uploaded except the one that actually had the finished work (including the unfinished version) (see asset #41040291)

Not a coincidence. Happens to me too.
