Thumbsnap

[mybrainhurts]

Pics keep going on and off recently.

Is this a PH problem, or is Thumbsnap screwing up?

[Mr Will]

It's going to be at thumbsnap's end, do they appear when you refresh or are they permanently gone?

Do you have a link to an example?

[NiceCupOfTea]

I've noticed this a lot. Sometimes they take ages or just don't appear.

Current example is here:

Refreshing doesn't help.

One of our main web servers is down.
We are currently working as fast as possible to restore service.
Thanks for your patience.

Just noticed above on twitter, as was wondering where thumbsnap had gone.

[NiceCupOfTea]

It's been doing a few times over the last few days I think.

Due to a database failure, we are installing a new (faster) server to replace the old one. We expect service to resume in the next few hours.

Oops! might be down a bit longer, so expect timeout on images from thumbsnap.

I was away to ask this,
was trying to upload a picture and i just get "Not found" when I click on "upload an image (beta)".

Have noticed this a lot as well. Would recommend using any other image host really.

I've had this a lot lately, thought it was my computer but it's doing it with two different PC's at different locations. Have tried IE8, Chrome and Opera. All delay the load to some extent or sometimes just get a small box with'image' in it!

[Mr Will]

Thumbsnap seem to have fixed their server, so if anyone is still having problems then please let me know.

OK...

Can't upload either:

That happened to me once, but recovered after about ten minutes.

[Mr Will]

thumbsnap seems to be down again, hopefully they will get their server issues sorted shortly.

Can we take the option of thumbsnap off the posting window? Seriously, it is still shagged as far as I can see - I have a window open in the bad parking thread that I refresh every couple of days so that I can finish it, but the thumbsnap pics don't work.

Everybody has a bit of downtime now and again, but this has been several days.
