Images won't load to Campaign Forum posts

In the last month or so (perhaps even longer), I have been unable to add images to campaign forum posts, whether by drag-and-drop or selecting the "picture" icon and hunting them down on my hard drive. I get the "thinking" animation forever and ever instead and have to reload the page. I am on a Mac using Chrome v  72.0.3626.119 .
They don't want to load here on the forums either.

In the effort to reduce frustration with the image uploading process, I do have a workaround with a so far 100% success rate. The bug seems to be related to uploading from your local hard drive. Using an image URL has yet to fail me. I have a dump folder on Imgur. If I need to upload an image to the forum, I drop it in that folder, click on it to get the direct URL (it's a button you can press), and use that instead of choosing a file. Yes, it's a tedious addition of several steps, but it does save time in the long run because it beats multiple click-waiting-failing cycles. I also have an  extension for Chrome  (and a  different one for Firefox ) that will either send any online image to Imgur and fill your clipboard with the URL with a single right click, or allow you to do the same with a screen capture.

;-P Seems like someone reports the "Image Upload Bug" at least once a week since the text editor was updated/replaced in June... ;-( We have lots of beta-testers willing to help. May I suggest adding a bug report to this post?  Images won't upload on Game forum  It already has a couple logs posted and has a Moderator's response.
Hi Mike, We're sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with this.  This is a known issue and we are still working towards a fix at this time.
