[Derek Harris [:DerekH] - Dont need info. Last day 6/5/15]

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:

This is extremely confusing for a user who is not familiar with imgur. If the user tries to upload any file other than an image file, they will be brought back to the device select screen without any notification of whether or not the file was uploaded.

Triage: not window management issue. remove nom.

Same in Chrome - fails silently without giving the user any information that there was a problem.

I'm not entirely sure this is Tech Evangelism material - it's more about the UI choices Imgur made.
