Hello World,

we've just updated our tooling that scans uploaded images for illegal content.

We don't expect this to cause any issues. If you do experience any issues with uploads or media in general please let us know.

This will hopefully improve the current situation where sometimes previews, thumbnails or entire images have gone missing after they were posted.

Uploads will now be scanned at the time they are created, which should result in immediate feedback when uploads are rejected.

Voyager isn't uploading anything for me, saying it failed external validation. I wonder if that's just some sort of bug, since surely an image of Superman isn't illegal. Meanwhile, on the site front-end, trying to upload an image is extremely slow and just cuts it off halfway.

Edit: it's working now. Strange.
