It is just me or is cB's image uploads not working - none of the images in the layouts section works. What's going on..
edit: For more clarification - I'm not talking about member uploads, I'm talking strctily skin uploads - none of the images for the cB layouts are working. This post has been edited by digital.fragrance: Dec 27 2005, 12:27 AM |

Oooo. Thank you so much for asking this and for the answer! I was beginning to think that something was wrong with my IE settings.

is it really that hard just to use imageshack or photobucket?
you cant expect everything to work perfectly and complaining about it 15 billion times isnt going to help. we all know that sometimes the cB servers arent reliable especially with the amount of bandwidth that the 100,000+ users use and the space that all the image hosting eats up. if you're going to complain, dont use it. upload your things elsewhere and then theyll be no problem. |

Members can upload to the img server? I think that they are saddened at the fact that the images for the layouts are not working, not their own image uploads?

It's not that - it's the layouts. People can't upload the cB images on imageshack if they won't display. Personally, I just use imageshack myself. |

^ for better understanding - once a layout gets accepted, we upload the images to the cB server. So if the server is down, all the layout images will not work.

well the thing about cB is that they upload the images to their server because photobucket, and etc. not long ago weren't very reliable, but now its the other way around. cB was more reliable, but now that cB hosts hundreds of images, bandwidth is the problem. and yeah, but dont worry, moderators are doing all they can to help us and our issues, so try not to give them a hard time.

I would kinda hope that in the case that bandwidth gets exceeded they would resort to OUR hosting areas instead of theres. That way at least some of the images would still work. |

That means if we were to go back to your original hosting we would have to go through ALL the skins and change ALL the links. That's way too much work for something that will be fixed come January anyway. If you all are so desperate to fix the problem, I dunno.. buy a t-shirt or something, maybe the profit will be used to buy more bandwidth for next month.

Thats why if people want this to happen, they might want a better host, like http://www.blogupload.com, or something else. |

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the server goes down and we all have to wait. We have so many users using our layouts. There's not much we can do to speed it up. As well, using ImageShack and Photobucket will not help at all; their bandwidth increases faster than createBlog. And isn't there some rule where the image can't be seen after 75 views for ImageShack? Well, whatever.
Anyhoo, layouts are working again. Topic closed. |
