Topic's shouldn't be publishable while uploading content

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to not run into a post where someone has tried to upload a video or image and then clicked the “Create Topic” button without realizing the video or image is still uploading.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience using the forum because there would be less topics like this:

Uploading: image.png…

Or this:

I would suggest the “Create Topic” button be greyed out while the content is being uploaded, and the “Uploading: <Percentage>” next to it be made more prominent.

Agreed, I sometimes make posts by accident and these images just put it like

Uploading: image.png…

They seem to already do this somewhat but the system they have in place is iffy.

This is still occuring as of 9th December, 2024:

Idk why but create.roblox.com and the devforum have been weirdly slow for me as of late. I figured all of the media would upload immediately. I am trying to edit the post to fix this :pray:
