Posts with pic8 links work like this:

If I tap on the icon to open it within poal, it only gives a spinning icon on a slightly larger post preview. Nothing else. If I just go on to the next post and try that one, I get another spinning icon. Usually, if I get five or six going at once, then eventually (30-90 seconds) they will all open at once. Trying to directly open the picture in a new tab usually will time out, although if I go through the process of opening five or six and waiting, then eventually new tabs will open the pictures. Mostly I've started skipping pic 8 posts entirely if I am paying attention.

The times I've tried posting pictures there, all I ever get is a green bar and a message that says "uploading picture." Never anything else. I've tried uploading multiple images, thinking that it behaves the same way - 5 or 6 at once to wake up their server and get the hard drive spinning, but I don't think I've ever succeeded. (Quick check in my history... turns out I succeeded twice 3 months ago.)

Browsers: Brave, Opera, Chrome, Edge

Platforms: Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04, a couple of Android phones and tablets, and just for kicks a raspberry pi running raspbian and whatever the default browser that uses.

Hard wired, wifi, cell data, at home or work or anywhere else.

Any thoughts on a better hosting service?
