The upload error message now contains additional information about the kind of the error:

an error occured on the server – that means the error occured on our server; in other words, it's a LOLcat in disguise. Highly unlikely, because we don't produce bugs.
couldn't reach imgur – somewhere between our server and imgur's servers there's a connection problem. The intertubez are clogged, imgur is down, or the like.
an error occured at imgur – the request got through, but imgur returned a 500 Internal Server Error or 503 Service Unavailable. Highly unlikely, because they also don't produce bugs.
the format is not supported – imgur returned a 400 Bad Request; the by far most likely cause of this is that the image you uploaded has an unsupported format or is corrupt.
imgur is rejecting the request – imgur returned anything other than 200, 400, or 500, or 503. Highly unlikely, because most stuff that needs to be wrong to cause this is hardcoded and thus would always fail.

The error message is also bold, red, ~~flashing, beeping, and dancing~~.
