Strange Occurrences Here!! Maybe Someone Out There is Seeing This Issue
We are having a strange issue here at the house with Google Chrome off and on since yesterday. I been Googling it with no answer so here asking the community if anyone else is seeing this one. Last night I tried to save an image of mine off of Google Drive but when it downloads it went straight to telling me download failed. I kept trying and trying but would never work and the wifi was fine. So I went from there to Google Images and the same thing, then a bunch of sites like Facebook, Twitter, and even to my yahoo saved folders but no image would download. I tried a video file, worked, tried a program install and that worked fine. But once again an image would not download, instant fail in Chrome.
So I tried something nuts, I turned off my wifi adapter and reconnected to the internet, went back to square one image and it magically downloaded like the issue never happened. Not too strange, thought maybe a glitch in the system on Chromes side, a defunct update but after looking no update or viruses after checks was evident.
Alrighty, so I fixed it....and I cast it aside like no big deal but just an hour ago now on our other computer, my fiance's the same exact issue is happening. Fine on my machine but no images will download on hers. This time though a restart of the wifi is not working nor a reboot of her pc is correcting this image download failure.
Has anyone here seen this with Chrome? Seems fine in other browsers but Chrome is being a pain about image downloads. Figured ask my Steemit family if they know what could be the root issue of this, doesn't appear to be a virus...everything else seems fine on both machines. If you know, comment...its irritating me to death today lol.
None of the pictures from steemit are showing up for me right now and for about an hour now?

Are you in Chrome too? I had that happen a few days ago and bam out of the blue it came back fine. I know we have a hard fork for Steemit coming on the 20th so I bet there is a few tweaks being done behind the scenes. I get a few random outages here when I refresh every often or so. So weird though with this issue we are seeing, its like its forbidding and blocking us from images lol. And I don't have a porn addiction so I know its not that lol

Funny you say that, I had the same thought but I thought it might be political based on how crazy it's getting out there! Lol

I seriously would not put it past the system to be tinkering with censorship values on chrome to see who they can screw with before they screw with everyone lol. World is nuts now a days but I do believe this, we gotta go through the trials before the fixes can come. Seems I am not the only one seeing this...maybe a bad update but maybe something hit the web that is an image and they are halting the chances of the info getting out. SNOWDEN STRIKES AGAIN OR WIKILEAKS? lol

And the plot thickens, now when she opens any image editing software its glitching out...but virus check says no issue. There was a windows update today and we got it installed on her machine and mine but mine is fine, damn government is onto me about the writings I put up here lol. They trying to shut me up ....jk... so strange

It could be lol....they targeted me for my anarchic ways and want to recruit by ransomware lol. Its so weird, her editing software now is on the fritz too. My machine is great but I did see a hiccup last night. Windows updated, maybe that? Its weird. Figured maybe someone has seen this going on and its just some weird update issue. Followed you because your in on the know that the russians are spying on my Florida home lol.

I was going to say it's on the wifi company side, but the editing software issue doesnt fit. Weirdly enough Ive been getting notifications on my phone with the blue and green lights blinking but when I open the phone Im signed into steemit but there isnt any notifications at all. Hmmmmm.....(android phone)

Its happening to others so rules out the issues in house here with the ISP, one here and a few others on my social media are saying they are seeing this same very strange issue. My pc is fine, well for now but it really looks fishy, its like someone is randomly censoring photo images, if on accident most likely but still a little weird for an issue of this type

Keep us updated. Im not a good one to test for photos since im not on wifi but Ive gotten the steemit time-out page several times today in town (full 4g) and on wifi at my daughters house. Just figured a whale uploaded a video and everyone was going nuts Lol

They have a hard fork on the 20th, I think as far as Steemit the issues are updates and tweaks in preparation maybe, don't quote me on that because I am no dev here and unsure what would need doing in prepare for a hard fork but one is coming up

I saw in another comment your account "disappeared" for a minute. I tried to follow several steemers today and it said UNKNOWN ACCOUNT. Hmmmmm again. Hopefully the 20th comes and goes without a hitch.

another issue, a lot of people are saying my profile here doesn't show up in their feeds anymore, that one I been questioning for a few days myself. I went from hearing from everyone to a lot of random now and then comments on my articles, upvotes are about normal but boy is the pay low the last week, and my fiance just opened an account, added mine but she doesn't also see me in her feeds. I hope this stuff gets turned around and its just a growing pain

Yep, i noticed all that too. Gotta get thru this HF and get steemq going. For me those will be a turning point.

I agree, its about sticking tight and keep doing what you been doing. I just noticed this more today because I had 40 people say they loved my A CRYPTO ODYSSEY series and they pushed on me to do more of them, did one today that I think is my most in depth one and only 15 views in half a day? Just seems I am not being seen all the sudden and now I am hearing that so I guess I better hold off on the good stuff lol...till they fix whatever is going on. I don't expect a lot at all, don't get me wrong but when your crowd asks for it and you deliver and no feedback while a hardfork is on the horizon, kind of led to think its a system thing

LoL that is the main reason I am on here wasting a good article on asking the community lol. Her and I both have cryptocurrency wallets on our pc's...I rather never look at a simple glitch as just one and later find out the ghouls of the internet found a way into making me broke lol

I just posted with the same issue maybe an hour ago in help. I'm having the issue with all browsers... chrome, firefox, IE, and opera.

We haven't really tested any other mainstream browsers, she has Chrome and Tor but it won't go away for her. I had it pop up last night and just kicked off my pc wifi and back on and it stopped but that trick is not working for my fiance...so probably that was just a coincidence. There is no online feedback, chrome is not saying anything but if your seeing this and we are, definitely an issues somewhere. Windows did update, wonder if that is it? You on windows 10? Well seeing we are both screwed with the same issue, followed you for feeling your pain. If I find a fix I will let you know, let me know if you sort it too if you can

I'm on Windows 8.1, by choice. Also, I haven't let windows run updates since 2015.... by choice. I have not updated chrome in a while either... by choice. I'm going to try updating my chrome to see if it helps me. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

Well, I figured something out. I used a proxy site to access steemit, and all images are loading as long as I used the proxy site. I know this isn't a solution, but it may be useful to figuring out what exactly is going on. The proxy site I tested it on is https://whoer.net/ using Chrome.

Wow, buddy something is going on here. I responded to you a minute ago, it said my account does not exist, and kicked me out of my comment section to respond to you. I just about lost it because I am sitting on a grand here locked up but a refresh brought me back, whew that seriously scared me bad. I know Steemit has a hard fork coming up on the 20th...could this just be updates going on in the chain?

It's something to do with steemit's image host https://steemitimages.com. Chrome seems to think it is an unsafe site... https is red-marked through. I disabled "Protect me from harmful sites" and it's still not working :( My javascript is enabled and I'm not sure what else I can try to fix it. I had issues logging into Steemit and being kicked out like a month ago, but I left Steemit alone for a day and it worked the next day. It's been a full 24 hours since images quit loading for me.

I went to that link and checked it out, no red strike on my machine but mine is working fine, well for now. This is tell tailing though of a sign of censorship like Chrome has done to me with a few miner software sites in the past and a few other crypto projects I randomly see blacklisted then randomly they are fine. I question this because I get these weird issues in crypto related sites now and then, i been wondering why but now steemit? But our issue also goes to google images on her, she can not right click and save on any image anywhere on the internet, it will look like its downloading then immediately say failed due to a block but no block can be found.

Odd. I don't know what else to do besides wait and see if things change tomorrow. If things aren't fixed tomorrow, I'll be back on trying to fix it. If I find anything out, I'll let you know.
