Is it just me, or are many of the thumbnails missing in the Fractal gallery today? Also the banner and emoticons from the forum pages. I have reuploaded those of mine that appeared to have gone walkabout, which seems to have worked ok, but I am wondering what happened to them. Tina

Mine too. The first seven thumbs in my gallery are missing - as well as the larger images :-( Looks like I need to fire up UF and re-render them.

Some of mine incl. large versions are gone too... Is there any admin online?

I realised that the large images of mine were missing too, as well as the thumbnails. Again I have reuploaded. Maybe this is something to do with the new server "arthur" being put in place - I guess something for admin to look at.

A bunch of mine are missing, too. Both Thumbnails and large images. But I'm sneaking a quick peek at work & and going away for the weekend, so I won't be able to re-upload until Sunday or Monday. Hopefully, it (and a few other pending issues) will have been corrected by then..

I "spoke" with an Admin at Renderosity who stated that they were going through some "server upgrades" and that these and other "problems" were at their end and not "ours". ...was given no "get well" date, or what to otherwise do, etc... ...not only are thumbnails missing, but images as well ;-(

With the Edit feature I could restore my jpgs, I have found only three missing so far, they all came from the recent time (my newest page here)... Does anybody know whether older images are missing or not? I lost some image in Aug, 26 and 24, but not all from these two days...

Please don't panic :) Renderosity is upgrading and adding new servers. This task involves moving all the data (pictures etc.) and is probably going to take another week, possibly two to complete. The thumbnails and images are not lost or AWALL, they are just in transition. There is also a thread in the Forum News forum that fur himself (renderosity programmer) has commented on. I know the folks behind the scenes are all working as hard and as fast as they can to restore AND improve everything. I'm already noticing a huge difference in how fast the forum pages load :) I hope you all are too!

I haven't noticed any improvement in speed on the main url or the arthur url. In fact it seems worse now than before. Hopefully when the upgrades are completed things will improve.

I'm also missing several thumbnails in my gallery..I hope they'll be returned soon. I'm still experiencing some very slow navigation. I thought it improved for a day or two, but now (except for very late or very early hours, I'm back to the snail's pace.
