I've been trying all day. Nothing happens, it just says "loading". I've uploaded many pictures on Giant Bomb before, so it's not that I don't know what I'm doing. I've tried many times throughout the day and never had any luck. Occasionally, it'll jump up to 10% loaded and then just freeze. That's as far as it's gotten. So umm... PLEASE HELP!!!

The same thing was happening to me yesterday - it would upload a certain percentage of an image, then get stuck. It may not be the same problem exactly, but I came back to it later on and it seemed to be working fine after that. 
Edit: I've also been getting a few Internal Error messages today - might have something to do with that?

Yep same problem for me yesterday. Although it was actually saying 100% uploaded, but it never left that screen. When I refreshed the page the image hadn't been uploaded.

I thought the same thing was happening to me just then but it went through after hanging for ages.

Well hopefully they can fix this soon before my interest in improving the wiki fades...

Please get this bug fixed soon, Top Men. It's quite an important one! I haven't been able to upload for nearly a week now! Please...?

@Mistress_Redhead: Yeah, that's a good point. I was just going with what Mike Horn said, but there were definitely a lot of engineers around for the Live Show.

I don;t mean to be rude to them about it, but its an across sites issue and its important for wiki!

It worked for me, but the 100% loading screen just hung there for at least a minute. Which it never did previously.

And it uploaded two of the same image, one of which has a broken image icon and leads to a 404 error when I click on it.

Chrome and Windows XP btw.

@Mistress_Redhead: And the image problems has actually been going on for two weeks now which has greatly diminished a lot of people's wiki inputs and slowed me to a very slow crawl as I've grown weary of trying to keep track of what files I need to get back to so they don't look terrible whenever we're able to upload images again.

That would be really irritating! Have the staff come back to anyone on this?

If you hit the "x" to stop loading, and pick to add the picture again it will load. It's not a proper fix, but it's better than nothing.
