I'm trying to add a new photo (a simple stupid meme to be honest) via the + button "Add a new photo" but it doesn't work. Please redirect me to a better magazine if this not the appropriate one.

I haven't had any trouble uploading photos clicking '+' 'Add new photo'.

If you have I can't help you, and perhaps it is a recent thing related to

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.

I did however find how to repost photos already uploaded here (and presumably elsewhere) as photos without downloading and reuploading them by clicking '+' 'Add new photo', then manually changing '/photo' at the end of the URL to '/video' and pasting the URL of the image in the top box.

If uploading has hiccups at present the above may allow you to circumnavigate via as you say imgur or such.

Ok thanks, I'll try that, however the image I'm trying to upload is from reddit, I don't want to give them more traffic. I will try via imgur or such for just a while until they solve their server transition.

edit: yeah now I get this message:
