Flickr and Broken Links

Postby Trethowan » Mon Sep 08, 2014 7:39 pm

So... I put up my next photostory and noticed that half the links weren't working. I checked and the images aren't even ON flickr. Even the old stories have half their pics missing.

Does anyone know how I could fix this? Should I try to reload and re-link the pictures or does this sort of thing resolve itself? The Flickr help questions are rather... ah, unhelpful. About 20 pictures are missing or showing as the little broken image icon.

/sigh. SO frustrating. It is really hard to find the time to do a photostory. I certainly don't have time to fix the broken ones. There are days I just want to hang up my photostory hat and be done with it. Though since I buy dolls specifically for the stories it would mean depopulating a horde of characters that otherwise have zero purpose. That would be depressing.

Edit: GAR. I just uploaded a batch to see what happened and now OTHER pictures are missing. Perhaps I should just give it some time. Maybe they're having difficulties.

You may have exceeded the limit. Do you have an unlimited account or just the regular one?

I agree with the limited account thing, it only keeps so many of your newest pictures. As annoying as it can be I've used a free Photobucket account for a good long time now and I link from my free blog.

My account should be unlimited. I pay a yearly fee for the service. I could probably cull some of the older pictures though, there are over 4000 in the Flickr now.

Edit. Yay!!! Whatever was causing the problems seems to have been fixed. Everything is working. I noticed on their help section someone had posted that they were experiencing server problems. I had a dramatic freak-out for nothing.
