Forum:Disappearing images

As of now, most of my images aren't showing up either on pages or in the Images category. Any info or fix appreciated.

 * Got the same issue over at OgreLair.org Wiki. Is there a backup going on or something else taxing to the servers? 17:25, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

I just put up a Site Notice at my wiki so everyone who reads there will know it's not them; you might want to do the same thing at yours.

Happening on the Cyber Nations Wiki as well, seems to be random for the most part; one day an image is there, the next it isn't, and it's back in another. ~Azu-nyan - 19:35, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

May as well put in my report too. Happening at InfoDepot Wiki too.WifiShadow 19:53, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just received e-mail from Wikia re: the problem and they are working on repairing the servers causing this to happen.

 * There's a known problem at the moment with image serving and Wikia's working to fix it as soon as they can. Just stay patient and it should all be over soon :) Joey (talk) 20:02, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to all who worked on it. It working again.WifiShadow 10:25, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Here we go again - Disappearing images - Take 2
It's happening again at InfoDepot Wiki WifiShadow 23:57, August 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like it - mine are also taking ages / not showing or no thumbnail again on loading then not displaying in article - BulldozerD11 00:30, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * We're adding more servers to help spread the load around and speed them up. --Uberfuzzy 00:52, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am having the same problems. Thanks for trying to fix this, I was on wikipedia for 5 years before this, although the people are nicer here, there are a lot more technical problems constantly :( I guess that is the price you pay for a little bit more freedom.

 * Aye, we're experiencing this at Zeldapedia, MySims, Dead Rising and I Am Alive Wikis! Hope it'll be taken care of soon. --Mistertrouble189 08:26, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there some kind of timeline or status update? WifiShadow 11:32, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

The problem starts to become annoying. Pictures that got a new thumbnail before the newest problem are fine, but the ones that didn't are a huge problem. It's also a huge problem at the Codex of Editable Wisdom, where many of the articles now have broken thumbnails.

I really hope they manage to fix this.--Tribun 13:01, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have a Site Notice up at Canine Diabetes Wiki. If you click the blank or empty spot where the image is normally displayed, the image can be viewed. This is what I've included in the Site Notice for Canine Diabetes Wiki.

 * That's does do any good when a page depends on the thumbnail size to display properly. Looks like I will be trying to learn some fixed width techniques. WifiShadow 14:29, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Do we know if newly uploaded images will work once the issues have been resolved or will they need to be re-uploaded? I've got a lot of stuff needs putting on the WikiGardener site. Thanks. OllieMartin 17:27, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Site Notice

 * moved to Forum:Sitenotice questions and issues
