cover images disappearing

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this, but roughly half of all my book cover images are showing broken links tonight (11/22/2024, 8:45 pm CST). I started tagging with "LT imagehack" but there are so many I gave up. Any suggestions or is something bigger going on? Thanks, Rachel

I'm seeing it too. I'm sure it's a system issue.

I was coming to look and see whether this issue has been reported. It seems to be affecting member uploaded covers, which in some cases are much better than the Amazon defaults

My gallery/junk drawer is also missing all of the images. The descriptions are still there, but the images are not available.

Will they let us know when the image server is back up? I want to fix mine, but I don't want to take the time if the cover images won't "stick".

>8 Easttexfarmer: This is not the bug reporting group. And the message before yours is from November last year. And the problem was fixed long ago as far as I know. So just go ahead and fix yours. And if you encounter any problems please open a new bug report.

You are looking at a thread that is nearly a year old. It's been back for yonks.

>10 lilithcat: Thank you for letting me know. I didn't notice the date. Most of my images suddenly disappeared.
