Twitter won't let me tweet a photo

I first tried to do it from my Photos right after taking a photo with my iPhone 4 but after a few seconds I get an error message "....cannot be sent because the connection to Twitter failed." I then tried it from the integrated Twitter app and again after a few seconds I got an error message but this time saying "Error posting message. There was an error posting your tweet. It has been saved as a draft, please try resending later. (Error: bad gateway. A technical error occured on the Twitter service. (Error 502).)


Anyone know what's going on? I can get on twitter and see everything else just fine this only happens when I try to tweet a photo.


Thanks in advance.

I can still tweet photos from the Twitter app after upgrading to iOS 5, but it's now published under the Twitter image service. I wanted to revert to using yFrog, but after I changed it (account > settings > advanced > image service) it won't publish any photo and saves the message as a draft instead ("Error uploading attachment..."). When I changed the image service back to Twitter, it works fine.


Anybody else having the same problem? Anyone found a fix for this?

I'm having the exact same issue after the iOS5 upgrade.

I successfully posted/tweeted a picture to the default Picture service that the Twitter app uses when you install it. (Twitter).

However I have more than one device and I need to be able to post to TwitPic.

When I try to post/tweet a pitcure I get the following error:

Error uploading attachment. There was an error posting your tweet. It has been saved as a draft, please try resending later. (Error: unauthorized).

I've uninstalled/reinstalled the Twitter app, also deleted the account off my iDevice.

No such luck. I'm still getting the error.

Of course any Tweet without an image has no issues.

Any help would be welcomed.

Thanks

I'm having a similar problem, but as well as twitpic not uploading pictures, my twitter app randomly stops letting me tweet. I'm not on tweet limit because I can tweet off mobile twitter, it just seems to be the app. It seems to fix itself randomly but doesn't follow a pattern. I'm really confused. Any help would be much appreciated :) Thanks!
