That One Pone 584 August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 Since yesterday (after the forums migrated to a new server), I can't see the pictures posted by members anymore. I see this instead: etc. They are missing, so I would guess it may have been posted after a backup or however the staff migrated to the new VM. Perhaps they are still there, no idea. It might just be that they were lost in the migration. (derpy, we blame you) 1 Zeusking19 - Poniverse Developer and SysAdmin "No DDR machines were harmed in the making of this post."

Jeric 46,851 August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 Hey Blobulle, I caught this last night and actually submitted a Support Ticket. Its board wide, and impacting even partner threads.Attachments work, but off site images will not display after a certain period. EDIT Some details. Broken images appear throughout the board from approximately 17:00 EST 8/21/2014 on.Signature image files are unaffected as far as I can tell. Images linked on other secondary sire pages (like the Support page) appear to be unaffectedImage attachments are not affected as indicated above. (as they are hosted on site)Avatar images are likewise unaffected (as they are hosted on site) Emoticons are unaffected (as they are hosted on site)The issue appears to start shortly after the VM migration, but I don't want to make assumptions regarding cause and solution.The issue is universal to all browsers obviously Basically, it looks like anything stored in an assets folder is fine. Anything temporarily cached isn't stored. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 August 23, 2014 Author Share August 23, 2014 So, will this bug get fixed soon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennabun 1,579 August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Will this be being fixed? I believe I've posted literally every picture message through a third party image hosting site. I'll be sad if now no one can see those ever again. 2 pleasant pegasister ✿ fluttershy fangirl ✿ cupcake connoisseur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayzer 1,418 August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 Seems fixed to me unless it's for a specific site that doesn't work. I just posted a picture in a topic which worked just fine. Also I don't know if it's unnafected too but images posted on about me descriptions in profiles work fine too. 1 Aaamazing signature made by the awesome Nectar! Thank you so much bud!

When you link in an image it will show temporarily ... but break within minutes. This is why when it happened the first ones that noticed were the fan club heavy posters, since they are image heavy threads with users constantly in there. The average user will post and see their image fine, but not revisit unless quoted, mentioned, etc and even then ... they may not see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babymoondust 223 August 30, 2014 Share August 30, 2014 Any picture I put up in posts keep disappearing. *_* It's very strange - they'll last a limited period of time before "breaking". I can post an image, and it'll show up. Then I'll check back a couple hours later and it'll be broken. 1 ~ But it's what my cutie mark is telling me... ♬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurpleK 71 August 30, 2014 Share August 30, 2014 @Lavo will probably fix this. I've assigned a task to him. Hopefully, our saviour Lavo will attend to this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,851 August 30, 2014 Share August 30, 2014 Good to hear. At one point I thought it may be related to the 8/5 release of nginx or just a simple file permissions issue, but I couldn't duplicate it myself in a stage environment I made. Here's hoping it's an easy diag and fix for Lavo. *crosses fingers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,860 September 4, 2014 Share September 4, 2014 Why haven't any staff replied to this thread? I'd kind of like to know what's happening with this It's getting really frustrating to deal with.

yayayayayala 1,668 September 6, 2014 Share September 6, 2014 Let's hope this is an easy fix, it's been really annoying. I must link the bouncing llama gif in the Forum Lounge or all is lost!

Jeric 46,851 September 6, 2014 Share September 6, 2014 Yes, the image issue is indeed open and being reviewed by the Technical Admin group. Since this is an issue that many of us have concerns about I will try and put routine updates in this thread on any progress. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubbed user 3,416 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 I have found that if you put the image in spoiler tags, you will be able to see the image when you "unspoiler" it. I think that should be done until the issue with posting pictures is fixed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeric 46,851 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 Unfortunately that workaround is not valid. I will tell you that one valid workaround is imgur ... Upload via link to imgur and post the new imgur link on MLPF. Actually this process should work for any image hosting site that doesn't require 'http://www.' to view the image. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubbed user 3,416 September 8, 2014 Share September 8, 2014 Putting it in spoiler tags worked for me, so I kinda thought it was a site-wide temporary solution. :/ I suppose an alternative would be to have a thread in the testing forum and hosting an image there and just copying the URL. I'll try that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeric 46,851 September 23, 2014 Share September 23, 2014 Feld0 spent some quality time with MLP Forums and it looks like the image linking is resolved. Before we officially call it fixed though, I'll keep this thread up for a bit longer in case the problem resurfaces.
