>>20904tl;dr we were tinkering with the way images are saved and loaded from the server to try and make it more efficient and there was a slight problem we had to fix, one of them was that a few recent-ish images were broken and we didn't want to restore a backup cause it'd delete a few posts
so the techies fixed it on the fly and to stop the issue from continually happening until we fixed it all we had to disable image-posting for a little while
