Hi there

Update 8:30 PM PST
Recent posts on remaining image processing issues are being looked at.

Update: 2:45PM PST
The issues on the server side that have been causing problems should be winding down. We believe that the problems should be getting better if you haven't noticed already, but we are keeping a close watch on things.

Something to look out for- there are a lot of files uploaded that are backed up, waiting to process. Our image daemons are working hard to crunch them all and you may see them taking a bit longer, still.

But the other issues like hiccup messages, missing the contacts or everyone's photos in your main display should be better.



Thanks!


______
We have some problems on the site we are working through right now. Some of the things you might see are:

o Uploads do not finish processing
o Link to your contacts is not showing them (or a couple)
o Everyone's photos is not showing content (or a couple)
o You can't edit new uploads
o "hiccup" error messages


We are having some network problems that connect our databases together. We're working on restoring it right now. It's taken a bit longer to put it all together than we hoped, but our developers are busy on it.

We are sorry for the inconvenience!

Is this something we can expect to be taken care of quickly (ie under an hour) or something that might take a day or so?
Either way, I'm sorry you guys have to deal with a problem, it would just be nice to know for those of us who plan on using their flickr account for work related situations.

Mobog.com  Pro User  says:

When I click on my most recent photos, Flickr says "This is not the page you were looking for."

Also Flickr won't let me delete new pictures ("Sorry, that could not be deleted") or change the privacy settings of new pics ("Oops! Looks like you followed a bad link.")

Is this related to the "various site issues" of which you speak, or is my account somehow otherwise broken?

Edit- Looking at the posts above me (which weren't there when i started typing this, honest!), looks like we're in the same boat. :)

It's kind of infuriating, but since it keeps telling me "This is not the page you're looking for," it seems that Flickr thinks it's a Jedi knight and this makes it marginally less infuriating.

Arty Smokes  Pro User  says:

I'm a bit worried that I'll end up with three copies of the same image in my stream as it kept getting stuck at the processing stage. I'll obviously delete the dupes manually if they ever show up, but the warning might be better labelled as "Photos won't process correctly, please don't keep uploading".
