When I try to insert an image using the upload tool, I get:

I'm running the current version of Chrome on Windows, with a number of SE-related user-scripts. Confirmed by several other users, so not just me.

Yes, stack.imgur.com appears to be down.– Cody GrayCommented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:29

yeah, existing images are also not being served– Sathyajith BhatCommented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:49

@Sathya, that'd be far more serious, but I am not seeing it.– OddthinkingCommented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:54

Yep, just happened to me also.– Lance RobertsCommented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:58

Yup, existing images aren't being served across the network. I repro on SO as well as the SU example Sathya's given. I suspect this is a problem on imgur's end, not something the SE devs can fix.– Cody GrayCommented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:58

@Sathya, you are right - for some images. This one is working fine for me: i.sstatic.net/TiPqj.png although caching may be a factor. Yes, that seems more important.– OddthinkingCommented Aug 2, 2011 at 6:08

Its happening again, and looks like it has been disabled again...– Merlyn Morgan-GrahamCommented Oct 18, 2011 at 18:00

Yep, looks like a problem with uploads to stack.imgur.com -- we've contacted them via email and phone, and have disabled uploading for now until they can get it fixed.
edit: looks like they fixed it, so we're re-enabling uploads now.

Going to imgur.com to upload images? What are we, savages? Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:33

@Michael, it's funny, the first thing I did was type in image host etc into Google forgetting that they might host images outside of SE...if that's not a fail in brand awareness, I don't know what is. Commented Aug 2, 2011 at 5:35
