[updated 1 June] THE SITE'S ACTING WEIRD!!! "Ooops!" Bad link - non-contacts showing up

view profile

xdrei [柏林] says:

From Staff:

10:00 PST 1 June: Most major issues have been taken care of but if you noticed there was something overlooked, go ahead and post in the forum.

15:40 PST, May 25: The bad news. We've had to permanently deactivate some of the accounts that were created between 12:45 - 4:45 PST on Tuesday May 23rd, 2006. If you can't sign in anymore and you created your account around then, chances are this means you. If you want to go ahead and open a new account, please do so and contact us via the help form.

Never fear! If you can still sign in to your account, you have nothing to worry about except the other few bits and pieces that we're still working on.


10:00 PST, May 25: We've taken the header message off every Flickr page, but we know there are still some existing problems for some of you, and we want you to know that we are working on them still. Our dev team is on it today, we are still listening to you and watching this space.

06:30 PST, May 25: It appears that there still may be some weirdness for our members who created their Flickr accounts during the four hour window on May 23rd. The dev team is looking into this.

17:30 PST, May 24: It may seem quiet, but the dev team continues to clean up after yesterday's hinkelbonk. We're currently running scripts to resolve the remaining issues. Never fear, we will return with updates when there's poop to share.

14:35 PST, May 24: Did we say few hours? The missing photo issue should be resolved. If your photos were displaying as the replacement "photo is unavailable" graphic, please shift + reload to ensure that you're seeing the photos. Dev team efforts continue to resolve the outstanding issues.

14:02 PST, May 24: An update on the missing photos -- 50% of photos are back in the saddle and we expect that this part of the recovery will be completed in a few hours.

12:25 PST, May 24: While we don't have any further information on when the current weirdness will be over, we wanted to give a little background into why Flickr currently is so "interesting".

Post Gamma launch, we'd scheduled an upgrade of some server software that went awry (that's the polite word for it). This effected activity on the site for a window of about 4 hours (roughly between 12:45 & 4:45 pm PST). If you see any seemingly related bugs resulting from activity not in this time period, please let us know.

The dev team began unravelling the damage yesterday afternoon and their efforts continue.

09:50 PST, May 24: There is a glitch in the matrix, which we're working on now. It will be some time before all is right in the world again.


Things you might see:

- Photos not appearing in your stream when you know you've uploaded them - in which case, just wait, they'll pop up when we're done
- Photos that you upload yesterday now replaced with a "this photo is unavailable" placeholder
- Searching for tagged photos from a certain person may be weird
- Contacts showing up in your contact list, who aren't your contacts. The new Explore?
- Photos showing up in groups that don't belong in that group
- Recent Comments on photos that aren't yours
- Some unconfirmed batch editing issues

Sorry everyone! We know this is totally weird. We're on it, and will resolve it asap.

Original Post:

on this:
www.flickr.com/photos/xdrei/152157356/

i can see the small size in my stream preview,
if i start searching for tags the thumbnail it is shown correctly,
but as soon as i click on it:

"Oops! Looks like you followed a bad link."

?
where is it?

Me too. I just uploaded a photo to Flickr ... it was there for about 5 minutes, then it disappeared.

Three sizes of the photo are still there:
static.flickr.com/50/152158040_f9fa9a3bcc_s.jpg
static.flickr.com/50/152158040_f9fa9a3bcc_m.jpg
static.flickr.com/50/152158040_f9fa9a3bcc_o.jpg

And my photos page shows it:
flickr.com/photos/lancewebel

But the large size and the page are gone:
static.flickr.com/50/152158040_f9fa9a3bcc_l.jpg
www.flickr.com/photos/lancewebel/152158040/

The error happened when I was submitting the photo to the JPG Magazine group (http://flickr.com/groups/jpgmag). I can see on this group and on the FlickrCentral group (where I also submitted the photo) that several other photos around the mine have also disappeared. I also sent Flickr an email ... thanks for checking it out, Dathan!

I am sure this is related - I uploaded over 1000 photos today and am trying to do batch operations using Organizr such as change perms, add to sets, etc. Getting file not found errors. Also if I double click some photos in Organizr I actually see other people's photos. I understand you're working on solving some problems, hopefully this is related and you can use it for more information.

evilcoffee  Pro User  says:

I think this may be related - I just uploaded some photos via the Uploadr. I was already logged into Flickr. When the uploadr completed I clicked the button to view my photos.

I got this page claiming I'd uploaded my photos under another user name:

www.flickr.com/photos/evilcoffee/152108685/

I don't know that Flickr user and my copy of the Uploadr states it is connected as me (evilcoffee).

Fortunately, when I went to my homepage my photos were there, which was a relief.

I have one or two that are stuck in the same situation. This problem appeared to happen when I decided to edit a previously entered caption/description. I am able to delete the set that this picture is in, but cannot create a new set containing the picture (which kind of makes sense, as it's not 'there' :)

Well, not sure I'm adding anything of value here.

I just uploaded some photos, and both time, after they uploaded and Flickr sent me to the screen asking for photo name/description/tag, there was an extra photo there that wasn't mine. But when I hit save on that screen, only my five photos showed on my main page.

*edit - I uploaded a third batch and there were no problems.

Okay, this was my topic that was locked in Flickr Central and was redirected to this thread.

I created a new set this afternoon, called Metal Night Fight. If you will go to my sets page (or my photostream page where the sets are listed)
www.flickr.com/photos/alisa_in_memphis/sets/
you will find a photo as the primary photo that is NOT MY PHOTO, and is NOT IN THE SET!

What's up with this? Has someone hacked my sets? Where did this photo come from? I cannot give you a link to it because it is not in the set!!

I don't know if this is part of the same problem but I created a flickr account, uploaded photos and when I login again, the account doesn't exist anymore. When I recreate the account and try to recreate my set, it tells me that I have reached the maximum number of sets and need to get a pro account. I will wait because I don't want to use up any more space with impossible sets of invisible photos.

FWIW, after a bit more poking around, I discovered that of the three pics I uploaded today (and whose pages I successfully opened an hour or so ago), two are giving me the "bad link" error when I try to open their pages from my photostream, while one is still accessible from the photostream.

None of the pics I uploaded before today are displaying the problem (yet?).

The problematic set with the little red x instead of the representative image on my photostream page contains one of the "dead link" pics.

Hope this info helps solve the problem.

Dr. Tao,

Thank you for bringing up the issue of the bad link with my red bird. I am so dismayed that you could not view it. I appreciate your trying though, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

I noticed this problem with the photos of many of my Contacts. I just hope that this is temporary issue with Flickr and not a case of some database corruption.

For now, I guess it is best to let FlickTech work out the wrinkles.

Didn't read the whole thread but the same thing just happend to me. It doesn't happen right away. I uploaded a photo,marked it private, sent it to a group, there was one view then the problem came up. In the group pool it is no longer visable but there is a question mark there and I can't delete it from the pool. I can still see it on my page. I uploaded it again and it worked BUT now the one beside it on the right won't open. That one is public, hasn't been viewed or sent to any groups. It was uploaded at about the same time and worked at first. So now I have two I can't open.

Also, flickr has been acting weird about my upload limit, sometimes it says I've exceeded it but in fact I've only used about 2%.

LOL...ok, you guys are killin' me! I finally get the nerve to post a self-portrait and now it's got a bug on it?

To make matters worse, it shows up as some guy singing in other people's "keeping an eye on things" page. Good grief. ;-)

yup tracking down all the problems. This is hit for a few photos (order of 10s of K) uploaded during a small window of time. It's not a problem that is on-going. Note I will fix the existing weirdness. Once the fix runs, I'll update this thread to let you all know when it's done.

Sorry for the probs.

Problems with one group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/feelme/):

- a photo from a member was replaced from a non-member
- comments are missing

Personal problems:

- Some contacts appeared without being my contacts (http://www.flickr.com/photos/friends/)

Thanks!

My uploads (one) are disappearing to be be replaced by other peop-les (one). I cannot delete the one sent by mistake, and I have not attempted to replace mine. I will delete it instead.
