[locked] Phantom Photos -- My photos have been replaced with those of another

Sister Merry Elephant says:

Different photos are appearing on my site in place of others that I have posted. Is anyone else experiencing the same problems? When I click on them it shows the right ones, but it is weird to look at my pics and see a random man where I was expecting a shrub!


------------------

17 Feb 7:20 PST -- Staff are aware that there's an issue are working to resolve it - Heather

7:55 PST: Normalcy should be returning. You can Shift + Reload the view of your photostream to force it, but we're also flushing the system from this end. It seems that one of our caching image servers was polluted during a network outage in the wee hours. I just want to reiterate, the site was not hacked! It was a bum image caching server.

If SHIFT + RELOAD isn't doing it here's more help:

From Neofob:
"If shift+reload is not enough try instructing the browser to empty the entire cache.

In Internet Explorer you do it by selecting Internet Options from the Tools-menu and then clicking on the button Delete Files and then the Button OK.

In Firefox (2.0) you look up the Clear Private Data and select the cache and then click on the button Clear Private Data Now. "

From jack.d.ripper:
"For those folks on IE, as someone mentioned, you could try and clear your cache too: Internet Explorer 6: How and Why to Clear Your Cache"
www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/...

From Mr. Last Minute:
If SHIFT+RELOAD doesn't work, try CTRL+RELOAD or ALT+RELOAD first. Depends on which browser and OS you use.

19 Feb 6:34 PST: We're aware there's a problem with some images showing up in unexpected places (again). We're looking into it right now - George

------------------

THE LATEST
19 Feb 9:00pm PST: The site went back online at around 8:30pm PST. We're aware that some people are still seeing photos they don't recognise, and that a SHIFT + RELOAD resolves the issue in most cases.

If you're still having trouble, you can let us know specific URLs to problematic photos in the thread below. Thanks, again, for your patience - George

Tidalist  Pro User  says:

This morning from home everything looked fine but checking flickr at an internet cafe I'm getting other people's thumbnails which by and large are opening onto photos of my own. But there are some which are opening on to an entirely different photo again...not my own.
I'm looking at them on an internet cafe computer so surely the cache remedy isn't going to work. Any suggestions please.

Amen to that! I just started having this problem in the last hour! Didn't have a problem all weekend, and I pop in to check a couple of things about 15 minutes ago, and I'm seeing pictures that are not mine as well! Did everything that everyone else has done, and no change, except perhaps some other pictures that belong other people. Not cool! I just transferred the funds over to go to a pro account, and now I'm wondering at the wisdom of that decision! When is this going to get fixed!

fallsroad  Pro User  says:

This is NOT a browser issue.

I didn't experience this the entire time it has been happening until a little while ago.

It happens with 3 different browsers and it is the same photos on each page of my stream that are showing up incorrectly. Clearing the cache and reloading just loads a different, still incorrect image in place of the older incorrect one. Clicking the incorrect image is still leading to the correct photo, at least for now.

This is a major malfunction and needs to be corrected ASAP.

I have been waiting two days for a response from flickr regarding this issue. If they refuse to address this issue officially, I am prepared to demand a refund for the year and cancel my account. This not only looks horrible, some of these pictures could be potentially damaging to one's reputation.

.m for matthijs  Pro User  says:

I think there's something wrong with the server-routing or something .. one image might have a similar ID as an other on yet the other one is located on a different server .. so same image name, different server .. I guess nothing is really lost ..

if so .. this is a baaaad day for Flickr/Yahoo ..

mstori says:

Yes, Flickr - it is time to put an announcement on the main page. This is not just a matter where only people who notice a problem and go looking in help or bugs should have details. Everyone should know they might be looking at incorrect photos. When they visit the site. Those under 18 should be warned away for the duration.

Also a request should be posted that people not take photos of their incorrect pages and post those photos. They might actually be taking photos of images that are set to private and are being displayed because of this bug. No need to be letting this bug make them permanently public in a strangers stream even after the bug is fixed.

Brian Madden  Pro User  says:

So they said that it was resolved, but it sure isn't for me. The SHIFT+RELOAD doesn't fix it either. And now we have porn photos in our company photostream. Does anyone have any contact info for a real person at Flickr? Or is there some way to take our whole album offline?

I'm getting this problem as well, same pictures on both IE and FIrefox, even after clearing both caches.

After each time the pictures are still there, some of them change to random new ones, some stay the same. Only difference seems to be that *more* are now wrong pictures.

Surely it's not a browser issue if it's showing new pictures that I've never accessed before.

Yahoo. Do something about this. First, you forced me to merge my old skool account. I did. And now this is the standard of service I get in return.

So, what are you doing about it? As bmljenny said, you really should declare this problem on the flickr blog or somewhere else prominent (e.g. Flickr News). So ironic that Yahoo talks about "efforts to Make Flickr Better".

Fix Flickr First.

One more thing Yahoo, you'd better find a way to compensate all these irate users. Especially the paying customers. This certainly isn't what we paid for.

No word from the powers that be? Oh well I'm not renewing my pro account then (due in three days). I was considering that anyway. If they can't keep private picture private (and given the content I'm sure some of the substitute pictures must be private...!) I can't rely on Flickr anymore... I'll have to dust off my own webpage, which is a bore, but there you are.
