I am facing exactly the same problem as you describe in your post the last 7-10 days. It happens to every post i publish this period. I thought that it was something temporary but seems to be not. I can verify that in the last post i made a few hours ago the problem continued.

The problem appeared after the period that steemit.com was down and started to function again and also after the new design applied. Thanks for posting about it with the hope that somebody of the steemit techs will fix it soon.
