On my last post my first image didn't show up in the feed, just a grey square thumbnail. Thinking it was a problem with the 1st image I deleted it thinking the second image would then appear as the thumbnail but that didn't work so the post has a grey thumbnail. Now i liked that image so will try to share it again in this post but was wondering what went wrong as no other images in the feed seem affected.
Don't think I'll get an answer for why my image won't thumbnail but I really wanted to have this picture out there as it took a while to make it so trying again.
I worked it out! I had the same issue. Here is the fix:
The original file name may have parentheses in it. Rename before uploading.
Let me know if it works. Good luck :D

Not just parenthesis. Apostrophe did it to me. It's probably an assortment of different special characters in the name of a photo.

The same happens to me whenever I upload the image directly in the post. Previously, with the SteemIMG, this never happened. I do not know why it will happen!

I just cleared my online cache and that seems to have fixed it with new posts.
