Has anyone else had their flickr images being replaced with other crap just in the past few hours?? Several of my photos have other people's crappy images in their place (and by crappy I mean low-res, though some are ugly, too). When I refreshed the front page, more were gone. Some of them, when clicked on, still go to my original image, but not all. I deleted one altogether without thinking. I haven't checked everything, but several sets are affected. Even a photo that is the front "page" of one of my sets. I feel ill.

I'm going to go figure out how to contact flickr, but thought I'd ask here. Jesus.

...the 4th one on the front page - that ugly red thing, also the "cover" of the "Blue Ridge Mountains" set, and several photos within that set have been effed with.

 

YESS (within the last half hour)

WTF!???

Now Flickr says "its having a massage" and won't load so im assuming they are fixing something.

 

When I click on "help by email," or "report abuse" I get sent to a page that says "Flickr is having a massage." That's so helpful.


Sorry Crazy88, you beat me to it. Hopefully this glitch in the matrix will be fixed with no permanent damage.

 

wow sounds like some hackers fuxx0red Flickr... :<

 

If were all having problems something probably got hacked or went wrong. I think by "having a massage" they mean gettin all the kinks and recent problems out. I was sooo confused.

 

Flickr seems to have a lot of these moments. I just signed up a few days ago and this is like the 3 or 4 time I've seen this.

 

Hopefully everything is there when it gets back to normal....

 

Really? I haven't had any trouble. I'm actually glad I can't even get to my page anymore. It was disturbing!

 

Seriously.

 

this has happened more than a few times, it'll be resolved when they come back.

 

Glad to hear it. I'm thinking I'm wound up from a crummy day today. Time to go work off some steam. Thanks for the quick responses!

 

any site hosting that many hi res pictures that is constantly being hit by users/web surfers I would think to have problems.

 

^^^ Good point. I also think Yahoo is changing things over to there way of doing things. It looks like log-ins and password are to be changed.

 

all fixed, btw.

 

You can get on now? Mine's still being massaged. I want one.

 

It was up for a little bit, now its not.

 

the blog is a good thing..

 

I've run into update stuff happening in the wee hours of the morning, but never anything like this.

The biggest problem I ever had was I couldn't, and still can't, delete two of my pictures. They exist only as thumbnails. I have asked flicker about it a couple times and they "kicked the servers" to no avail. Now I like my spooky ghost pictures.

 

It's 11:20pm central time here and my stuff his still hosed desptie Flcikr being back online after its "massage."

 

Mine was still messed up this am, too. Their help blog recommends a shift+refresh, which they say works for most. It that doesn't work, clear your cache, then try it again. Mine's good to go now.

Mine was fine when I checked it this morning. I did have to do the forced refresh though. No big deal considering what happened.
