Images disappeared?

I just uploaded a post, which included two images, one is this:

It all worked fine for a few minutes, then the image started giving a 404.

I re-uploaded the images via BlogDesk, and it added “-1” to the end, like this:

Which makes me think the original images are still there – so why do they give 404s? I’ve updated the original image tags to use the second set, but it seems a little weird!

Last time I checked, parenthesis marks were restricted from URLs. At the very least, they are encoded and changed to their escaped codes (& # 4 0 ; and & # 4 1 ; [You need to remove the spaces to see what I’m talking about]). We covered this in another thread.

Hope this helps,

I know, the urls were encoded in my html, but when I copied & pasted them, it evaluated them :)

It wouldn’t have explained the second one working though!

Anyway, both sets work now – so whatever was the problem has been fixed! :D

I spoke too soon – the second set don’t work now! WTF?

I’ll change the urls back to point at the first set, but now I’m really confused!

Also, some images didn’t have parentheses, just the one I used as an example :(

This is madness! The first set all just “disappeared” again, but the second set work. I’ve just made another post, so I’ll keep an eye on that one too – looks like something’s really screwy atm!

Check out my blog’s homepage:

All the images from my new post have disappeared too. They *were* there earlier, it wasn’t that the publish failed, something has caused the images to disappear (or corrupted them or change permissions or something) :-((

Danny I see pics on your blog in this post

Danny, you need to read my two posts in this thread. I can tell you haven’t. You’re still nameing the pictures incorrectly and I have pointed out to you that the pictures are visible. I have also asked you specifically for the post where you do not see the pictures but you have not answered.

Danny, please pay attention to the asistance being offered to you. It bothers me that your spamming the forum asking for help but have failed to accept the help offered to you.

Podz, see the second post in this thread.

/drmike throws his hands in the air.

I give up.

drmike – I agree with you but equally I didn’t know what the original filenames were. I’m assuming that a name really was
gxineandxineinpackagemanager.png
for instance…..

As mentioned, images without brackets had the same problem, and *all* images worked up until a point. I know how to html-encode urls, and this definately wasn’t the problem.

I can now see all images on my blog, but I don’t know if it’s been “fixed” (as there’s been no response), or if the problem is only on some of the servers?

Is there a list of IP addresses for the servers that I can connect to, to see if it’s particular boxes causing problems?

Sorry to keep posting, but I really need to know if anyone can look into this – the images are quite important to my blog, and there’s definately an issue with the different servers here, because throughout the day my images will/won’t work randomly.

No items found.
