Forum showing "tinypic" warnings

[ApolloSZ]

So... CS is loading a ton of "TinyPic. This picture or video is not available" for the backgrounds and icons. But its intermittent. I can force a refresh of the page, and that one will work, then the next page has issues - Raps - Your just too popular!


Edit - Meant to be "picture OR video" not Picture of video. Doh.

Investigating. Got any screencaps?

Not at the moment sorry. If I get a chance I'll take one.

It seems to be right at the mo,
Maybe a temp surge in bandwidth usage where the pics are held/hosted?

Any of the images used for the forum software itself are hosted on the same server as the forum. That wouldn't be it.

I'd be most interested to see screencaps of this failure, to put it mildly.

Pedersen - I had a feeling they wouldn't be externally hosted.
If i see it again I'll try get a screen cap.

It was similar to the picture Photobucket has when a user has gone over bandwidth/removed images but had "TinyPic" as the logo in it. It was tiled in the background behind the forum, and seemed to repalce most emoticons/indicators beside forum names.
Did a ctrl-F5 (IE8) and the main page seemed to load, but when I opened a subforum it happened again.

I am using a history link to get to forums, I don't come in via the main page as yet.

Have you cleared your Internet browsing history ever?

Yup, not recently though. I've never been to "tinypic" before tho
Forum is loading fine today aswell.
