added a cover to get rid of the amazon one. The amazon cover disappeared but my freshly scanned didn't. (I've added a few others this morning and they appeared in fine shape, but the last three didn't.) Did LT staff break something just know or am I just impatient?

I don't think so. I don't get any errors as far as I can see, not on the page, not in the console. Just no cover :-(

Same thing here while uploading a cover for a book that didn't have any.

I think there's a bit more broken too. If I go to one of the affected works, like:
http://www.librarything.com/work/187654/book/51559448
and press "See all 33 covers" the member uploaded covers all come up blank.

> 3: Yeah, experiencing it now too and understand the difference.

> 5: Yuck. This is bad.

http://www.librarything.com/work/45369/details/85839939 I'm fairly sure this one was OK when I uploaded it (May 21).

Yeah, this doesn't concern only recently uploaded covers. Covers don't show up even in (my) books which have been added some years ago. Funnily enough, many of them show up nicely in the catalogue view (while some don't - cannot fathom the logic though) but if you click to the book page, there's no cover.

Same as 4 and 7 for me too.

Hey all,
I am looking into an issue with the cache directory where we generate all the different sizes from the original images. Covers might flicker in and out while I'm looking at them, but just wanted to let you all know that I'm poking around.

ETA: basically our cache directory is full, which causes issues generating new sizes

Brian fixed it. As he wrote, the cache file filled up—as regards file count anyway.

Not "recently added", but a lot of covers not showing.

See: http://www.librarything.com/work/7096/covers/796408, for example. Again, the cover is showing in my catalogue, but not on the book page.

Yeah. I became aware about ten minutes ago. The damn server is full again, it seems. Unfortunately, Brian wrote he's at a wedding. It's also affecting bug fixes on code. I'm going to give it a half-hour, then try to get another engineer involved. This is the sort of thing I'm liable to screw up, as I have limited systems administration abilities.
