(In case someone comes across this later the date is Monday the 10th of October at 3am UK time. Also in case the image above works it is from my Istockphoto.com account)
Sorry I will make this brief as I am about to go to bed. I realised a couple of hours ago that there was an issue with my post below:
Some images were showing and not others - previously they were all showing.
Later around 2am I found out that for some people none of the images were showing - thanks to @justtryme90 for notifying me about it.
This seems to be happening with multiple posts and using different image hosts too.
It does not appear to be a hosting issue. I have checked multiple posts which all seem to be having the issue and not all of them are using the same host plus the hosting sites are up without errors.
I have tested this with my own image host SteemImg, and also - Imgsafe, Imgur and Photobucket as below.
The fact that all those image hosting sites are up and functional, combined with this suggests to me that it is a Steemit issue.
Further the actual direct links when removed from Steemit do actually work. See the example below:
Example
Have a look at this post by @halo which has the same issue:
https://steemit.com/halo/@halo/steemit-girl-halo-watch-with-techno-background
If you take the link from this Steemit post (which would normally work on its own):
and strip the first bit "https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/" out leaving just the following bare link it works fine:
http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj537/steemitgirlhalo/68_zpsmescuwtw.jpg
Anyway. For the time being rather than trying in vain to keep switching hosts around I have edited my post to add direct working links to the images. They still don't show in the posts but people can look at them after clicking.
The TLDR - wait until the problem is resolved before changing your image host/links because it won't make any difference and you will just waste your time.
Apologies if this is less than coherent but it is 3 am here and I am exhausted. I just didn't want people getting frustrated or wasting their time so thought I should post.
All the best and goodnight,
Only just saw this thread... The problem is definately with the image proxy server, it cuts the connection at 31.75kb . Images smaller then that will work, and progressive loading jpg's sort of work but look bad. Hope it gets fixed soon

Thanks for the info. It will at least give a workaround for people who aren't doing image posts so that will help. For those of us with photography or art posts it is too small a file size to be viable without heavy compression or size reduction.
Also we would have to go back through our posts and resize every single image, re-upload them and change all the links. If you only have the odd image in a mainly text post it is not a lot of work but for a post with 10 images it is a lot to do.
Lets hope we get a fix soon.

Excellent hopefully it is sorted or in the process of being sorted.

You're welcome. I kept seeing people repeatedly putting their posts up and taking them down and putting them up again - all to try to fix the images. I was about to go to bed but thought I had to do something to stop the wasted effort.

thanks for the info. My buddy was having problems yesterday and I haven't seen him post since.
His issue was a little different. I included his link here so maybe others can figure it out of maybe its the same thing.

His pics have some clip art appear he has no idea why.

It seems to relate to the image file size as some others have said - anything above 31.75k is not being loaded.

Thanks yes. It seems to relate to the file size. Obviously for photography posts it isn't viable to limit your files to 37K in size as they would have to be tiny or compressed to the point of having abysmal quality.

The picturesare now showing on steemit, But for me any pictures i want to copy on the internet the copy thing wont even come up! At all! I tried to get a steemit photo and i cant, so itried other photos from google and the copy thing with the 3 dots wont even come up! Its weird! Any ideas! ? Thanks

Seems to relate to file size. For primarily written posts you can use images that are smaller than 375K but obviously that is not viable for posts depicting visual art as the quality and size would be terrible.

I didn't know the issue at first. I just tried to correct many times in an hour. As a result, I reduced the size of the pictures, Those were displayed as usual. It was a tired work :)

look at my post... I figured out a solution. Shrink the picture...
https://steemit.com/steemithelp/@d3nv3r/simple-image-issue-solution
This proves the issue isnt the hosts but a steemit issue with pictures larger then the frame showing the post :)
Edit: Pictures smaller then 37.5 KB will work

Thanks. The image does eventually load but it's tiny. I'm going to wait for this to be fixed because it's really late/early morning here and also my photography posts would be useless with thumbnail images only.

yeah I chose a different image with a fresh post on the issue. You don't have to shrink it that much just smaller then the frame.

Not sure what you mean by the frame. Mine are always 800 pixels wide which is fine normally. Lets just see what the actual reason is for this happening first before changing anything. I'm going to go to bed though.

Still not working for me in California. Furthermore, the tools tab isn't available to change the font. Thanks for the post! You'd think they'd send a message to users letting them know. I spent like 30 minutes last night trying to figure out why some images that I'd used before weren't working.

Yes it seems to relate to image file size as @ausbitbank and @d3nv3r have suggested. If you can reduce your file size to below 31.75k they might work.

I think that is due to browser caching. If you try any of the posts with a fresh clean browser the images don't show up or they take so long to show up that the browser gives up.

I thought so too after looking at a few more of mine and only the latest works but I didn't want to start clearing cache at mid-morning. Hope this issue is fixed soon. Previously, I provide like to selective images of my post. May have to consider providing link to all images.

Yes or if you can get by with really small images it seems to be a temporary workaround but it is not really viable for a photography post.
