BUG: ui##.gamespot.com user image servers refusing connections / timing out

None of the images I have hosted on Gamespot are displaying, including my avatar.

Happy gaming,

Boz

I guess you are right Dracula. But it's just frustrating.I'm sure all will be fixed in due time.

Got the same problem too

I'm experiencing this problem too... All uploaded images to Gamespot servers are invisible for me... Tested on my two PCs and all three sugested browsers.

Mine are absolutely messed up--along with a bunch of other things. I've been feeling like sailing a ghost ship here lately... :shock:

Any luck that they'll fix it sometime this week? It's quite annoying. I had this whole Catherine theme going while I was playing Catherine, and well, I'm on to other games so it defeats the point now.JustPlainLucas

Wait...so we have an additional problem? You can't even change it at all? I can remove it manually and see if it will let you add a new one.

The only image I have I do believe is hosted by GS and is not showing.

I am having the same problem as others as well. None of my images that i have had posted are not showing.

All my images decided to Fly Away. And yes I had to use that meme, it's a new one but, catchy. All of my glorified sigs and avatars have been eaten by darkness.

All of my uploaded images do not display but my icon and banner still display fine.

Question for Gmax - if a glitch occurs that lasts as long as this one, why don't they fall back to the previous software version where images displayed? Then they can work on the code offline. In my military experience managing a mainframe, we had to fall back if new software introduced a glitch.topsemag55

We don't know why GS staff do the things they do or don't do, and in some cases like this one, the problem isn't necessarily caused by a change, so there's nothing to roll back to.

Yup having the problem too. Can't see anything in my image section.

I don't know why you keep targetting questions like that at gmax ;) dab198

I hope this resolves very soon. If not, I hope there is a wau to recover some of my images I. I need them yesterday.

ao now we all know it wont be fixed that quick.

but im seeing a domino effect here.

in around ljuly all the feedback bar,now playing list,and the updates bar werent appearing till around the late of the month in which most was fixed then it started another bug when you clock for the game updates near the inbox it redrects to GS Fuse.and now we have this image problem.so eyah like a domino effect probaly if i can say that.

but my question is sure you dotn know the count of the servers used to operate the site.but is it only like 1 group of servers or its more complex.and second how come when one problem fixed then how does a new one surfaces like im goin to be al weird but lke if the "bug" is moving to another place.is there like virus in the servers.

sory if i got off topic abit im jsut wondering.

so in saying in the main offices of GameSpot has exclusive acess to the servers and can se anything while most mods and other non essential memeberss cna have acess on.

to say we just cant get to a server that ben afected while the site s running and "quarantive"the server from any bugs and glitches.but it migth sound risky just to get to it.

well thats a good asnwer though butt o say jsut have to see if the engineers can solve it.

I'm kind of thinking this might be for maintenance or something and that it might clear up quickly, but no one else has mentioned it, so I'll put this up just in case. I noticed this in a number of ways, but the images in my own user image area are not showing, and neither are anyone else's. As near as I can tell the ui##.gamespot.com servers are either refusing connections and/or timing out on connection attempts. Curiously, the userimage.gamespot.com servers still seem to be working as usual. I'm skeptical that this is just affecting me, but you never know... So I'll pin this, but if it's over quickly or it's really just me someone else can take care of it when it all becomes clear. Good morning GameSpot.

I'm actually having this same issue as well and found this thread when attempting to complain about it.

Yep, looks to be pointing to the correct place nowchicknfeet

YES! Thank you. *returns*

Images are back up: Both in my albums, linked in my blogs, and linked via my avatar.

For all intents and purposes it appears the problem has been resolved.

Thank you, Gamespot Tech folks!

Boz
