Images not showing

If anyone knows how to ping the CW artists, almost none of their new works are showing, maybe postpone releasing for a few (hours? days?! whenever staff will wake up...?)
I'm trying to update my forum group picture. I've messed with size and image quality. Still won't show.
Wanted to update as my previous one wasn't showing at all.
I initially thought it was just random Cdubs but it's random EVERYTHING.
Really annoying, since I first noticed it the other day, or maybe yesterday and no one's (staff) acknowledged it at a high traffic time of year for Subeta.
[edit] Just noticed in the wardrobe - images that show "brokd" when trying them on will actually show when you save the outfit.
And for the "clearing the cache crap, I just had MS updates installed and had to reboot so cache is definitely cleared.
If it's the same issue again with the image host that Subeta uses then it's not something that they can control when it happens and clearing your personal cache won't fix anything.
I'm also getting a bit annoyed with it happening so frequently, but from the past when this has happened there isn't much they can do except wait for the image host to fix it on their end. Maybe switching to a different host could be considered if this keeps being an issue, but Idk.
Hey everyone! I posted what is going on in the news, and I'll give a little more technical explanation here as well.
When you make a request to Subeta, it goes through multiple actors before it makes it's way to our servers. It goes like this
Your request → DNS servers → Cloudflare (CDN) → Load Balancer → Subeta Web Server
And for images
Your request → DNS servers → Cloudflare (CDN) → Amazon AWS S3
That CDN stage (and soon we'll be switching out Cloudflare for another provider) caches all of the content that isn't unique, so things like images and CSS files. It caches that to its servers around the world, so if you're looking at an image that has been cached on that server before (and the chances are high!) you'll see the cached version so the request doesn't need to go any further.
So in this situation when S3 is no longer available, the cache still has most images on the site. Over time (they're only set to cache for a limited amount of time) more and more will fall out of the cache, and you'll start to see more broken images. Fingers crossed this time Amazon responds faster :(

Really informative update, Keith. Very appreciated.
Will do my part to support the site to help the transition to a new service and will also do my best to be patient by keeping my mouth shut. :P
Thank you Keith for that update. I'll try to be patient lol
Give a flower!

Yup, this seems to be happening again. Let's hope that it can be resolved quickly ❤️
I've just stumbled over my first broken image again...!!! It's only Friday morning, so maybe we don't have to go for a full weekend without images this time?
More and more Broken images here too.

This is to let users know staff are aware of the broken images. Keith is looking into the matter.
