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.

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...

@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...

michaelczhang
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?

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

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.

is it connected to your problems?

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.

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.
