Some of you might find that a portion of your older photographs aren't showing up. We're aware of the issue and are currently working on getting it fixed.

All of the files are safe, and will be restored as soon as we get this fixed.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks to everyone who reported this in the forum!

Update: We've identified the issue and are currently bringing the photos back up. All loading issues should be fixed soon.

Update 2: The missing images issue is not a result of data loss or deletion, but rather some problems we experienced in moving our hosting over to Amazon. The issue affects a portion of images on our i2 image server, and the reason it's taking longer than we expected to bring them back up is because data transfer to Amazon's S3 service is very slow, and there is a massive amount of data we need to send over. We are continuing to transfer the images, and the images will gradually be brought back online in the coming days. Thanks for your patience, and sorry again for the inconvenience.

Thanks Mike, glad to hear it can be fixed

Mike I cannot see my new photos, which I have just published look like another photography!

@reinalda:

I cannot see what you're saying. I see all your photos fine right now...

I cannot understand, only I see a few white spots ... equal those who try to see my photoblog. I talk about my last entries, Holy fryday in April 2

I was going to report this 'non-showing' images but as you're aware I'll not, except to state that the period I have missing is part way through December 2009 to Jan / Feb / March 2010. Everything I uploaded in April 2010 is now showing.

Any chance we can be notified when things are sorted? Thanks for a great service. Are 'paid members' also getting this non-showing problem? I was thinking of going pro...

This post don't show up images:

Good luck!

@reinaldo:

Are you talking about this entry? http://www.photoblog.com/reinaldo/2010/04/02/viernes-santo-holy-friday.html

If so, I see images... they just look like there's not much in those images, like you took pictures of cloth or something.

Exactly!!! these are not my images! on having published, I see the original ones but on having seen the entry, that appears...

We'll look into this. Thanks for reporting it.

The problem is likely that your watermark is too large. Can you try removing your watermark and reuploading those photos?

I could not see photos of this post

@reinaldo

Your watermark image was way too big. I fixed it

All,

Photos are in the process of being migrated to S3.. in that process there were some edge cases from changes in code that caused some images not to show up. Your images are still there.. I just need to migrate them correctly. They will show up slowly over the next week or so

I was just about to report on my missing photos! Lucky you've identified the issue.. hope to have the pics up soon!

cheers!

i could not see photos of this post :http://www.photoblog.com/Michka43/2008/05/07/

Hi Michael

please can you say to me why I cant see some of my photos?

thank you so much

storytaylor

Hi storytaylor,

The photographs are still in the process of being transferred. We are transferring those images to the more secure Amazon storage system, but in the process we discovered that database records were being changed while the actual files weren't going through.

Thus, we're retransferring the files from that image server, and some of them are still inaccessible. They should show up very soon though.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience.

thank you so much.

hi, one of my pictures is still missing: http://www.photoblog.com/marcinescu/2010/01/22/broken-mirror.html

is it connected to your problems?

all the missing images are connected.. they will be fixed in time.. there are so many images to fix and its not a quick easy process.. takes time for the scripts to do their job

great news. thanks

thx mike ;)

We have about 1/3 of the images done

That's good. Just realised a load of my images from January and February have disappeared too. Looking forward to seeing them agan soon! Thanks to the Michaels for their work to fix this problem.

Thank you,Mike!

Appreciate your support in fixing them

Regards,

the problems with my pictures still go one. why? thanks

Yes, it happened to me, too. I hope, you are trying to fix it as soon as possible. Thx.

This is a slow process.. its on amazon..

The pictures will be restored.. just give it some time. We are sorry this has taken a lot longer then planned but it takes a long time to move 1.5TB of images

Thanks
I am waiting......

Thank you and your team !
You do great job!

no problem. thanks for info!

pra pra che che nhe nhe !

now they disappear during the uploading process Michael`s. This is f....disappointing

Are we unable to upload NEW photos at this time? My older images are showing fine. Thank you.

Give this Amazon a strong virtual beating Michael !!
Unable to upload photo's, old pics missing. They do this a first time?
But thanks for your updates! And keep up the good work on this site, thanks for all your work and efforts!

We're looking into this new issue. Thanks for reporting it guys.

I have been trying to post all day and everytime it looks like it is going and then just before the save they don't show, is this part of the problem that has been happening with the older images not showing?

still some of my pictures are not visible....

I am here to join the chorus: as of May 3rd 2010, some of my pictures are still missing, too.(You probably know, right?)

Hullo.
I had a few pictures not showing up. They're all back now with the exception of my Feb' 2nd one (http://www.photoblog.com/lifeofmike/2010/02/02/02-02-840am-home.html) . I've tried deleting and re-uploading it numerous times but to no avail. Thought I'd let you know.
Otherwise no problems with the site.
Mike

uploaded my 3 pix today a few times... nothing shown... not the 1st time but thought you might want to check into it. thanks.

Hi!
we (Vil0443 and niiaf) have experienced problems: profile photos aren't show up. Does this issue have to do with this post "Certain images cannot show up"? Thanks! F.

We'll take a look forehorsecri.

If anyone else is still having issues, email me the urls directly at michael@photoblog.com and we'll take care of it.

My recent photos are all gone I just have a few for May and June but the ones before..gone..
