Sometimes when I upload a link it doesn't load properly, it happens no big deal, but then I can't delete these buggy posts and then I end up unintentionally spamming a bunch of duplicates as I try to post again

Here is an example of one of these attempts

The error I get when trying to delete is

We are working on resolving the issues
Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure. Temporary problems with the website's functionality may occur during this time.

Any suggestions?

Generally your posts will be successful despite the error, but they'll also end up buried in the default "hot" view. If you switch to "newest" you should see it. Upvoting your own post should make it show up correctly in hot. No idea about the deletion thing though.

Thanks, I can still see the posts, but when I tried opening the link right after posting it wouldn't load, but it is now, but the posts still have no thmbnail and I don't know if it loads for others so I just assume not.. All very strange..

Ok, so trying to post THIS op I got that same error, refreshed and tried again and again the error but on my profile it showed as posted twice but somehow I had no problem deleting THAT duplicate so why can't I delete those on my own magazine? Strange

I'm not sure if this is a good suggestion, are you able to delete it via moderation as you're the magazine owner? Someone mentioned having issues deleting their own posts but still could via moderation recently, but I'm not actually sure what that difference means as I haven't moderated any magazines myself.

Nope, still the same error. Good suggestion though!

Interesting! Let me try

I don't see anything wrong with your example post. It loads just fine.

Ok thanks, but that's not really what I was asking about
