Image problems ... again

Hello there,

we have a sort of annoying malfunction that bothers us for a week by now:

  • Uploading new image versions is locked by internal error (original file cannot be moved to archive folder)
  • Several images "vanish" right after being uploaded - [1] (there is a image description page but no image)
  • Several old image versions cannot be erased.

I've already informed the German wikia fork but there's no reaction for three days by now. : [ defchris ] : [ leave-a-message ] : 13:38, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

  • [2] is such a case where an old image version cannot be deleted. (Internal Error: „oldimage“=„“.) : [ defchris ] : [ leave-a-message ] : 16:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Defchris, thanks for this note. We're taking care! --rieke@Wikia 06:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
It's fixed now. --rieke@Wikia 15:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Great - thank you. : [ defchris ] : [ leave-a-message ] : 16:16, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] File history broken

Look where points the old revision link of that image: [3]. And it seems to happen randomly to some wikias. Look as example: [4], [5], [6]. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -@WikiDex 13:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a bundle, Ciencia Al Poder. This is a known problem for some time now, but it's very good to have more examples on different wikis (to track down the issue). As far as I can say, the old images themselves are not lost, only the path is broken for some reason. Further reports regarding other images are welcome, of course. --rieke@Wikia 19:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
