Thank you very much for looking into this. It's weird because it's clearly not happening to everyone. Maybe it's just some accounts. I joined fairly recently.

It DID happen to everyone when the site came back up. I can only guess those that fell thru the cracks haven't been around much or something. Otherwise, I have no idea.

i can not upload pics... come on.. :mad: :(

I have been trying to upload the entire time, every day, seeing if it will work. I have tried all the suggestions too. I submitted a new account app as "dancontrinosclone". I'm hoping it will get activated and I can upload through that. People need to see my poor quality shots, Graham! :D

Around 90% of the pictures still won't load for me, so I apologise to anyone who's great pic I haven't commented on. Can't see it, can't comment! :(

Sounds like I need to talk to Death about things. lol

Graham...my new account works perfectly! I do one thing, which Marcos recommended, which is resizing on Flickr to "medium". Thankyou guys for the new account. :)

Here's what Sean, our server admin, had to say:

"FWIW, I am able to upload images and I also logged into the server and chmod'd all the files and folders in /dioramas/files/ +777, so there shouldn't be any problems creating new files or folders. If some users have problems with specific folders, we can check if there are permission issues with those folders.

As for some people not seeing images, I believe there may be two different issues:
1) People using proxies to get around firewalls (china, etc.?) will likely never have great success because the thing that's blocking their access is probably also doing deep packet inspection to block specific content.

2) "Smart" caching proxies may have cached page content while the server was missing images and are not updating for some reason. That's the only explanation I have for some users seeing everything and others only 75% of the images."

I'am experiencing problems just for getting into this site with google chrome. Some months ago, I entered this site without any problem. Recently, I had to go to the link of some topic, the main site wasn't available. And now I can only enter via Internet Explorer, which is a lot slower. With Firefox I have mixed results, sometimes good some others the same as chrome. This isn't a critical problem but is very annoying, any hint of what to do?

Makes sense. Would that mean this particular issue can be solved by "touching" all images that were created on the server during the problem period, thus forcing those proxies to update their caches ?
