Hi,
Recently we decoupled the forums from the BackBlaze CDN.
The adjustment caused images found in older posts to suddenly stop loading.
Initially it was uncertain whether we would be able to recover these images as they were previously being served by BackBlaze and we had the account terminated due to a techical issue.
@MattyRob and I spent some time investigating the matter this evening, and discovered that at least some, perhaps all images were also being stored locally, but the posts themselves were simply referencing the CDN version.
A potential solution is being put together over the coming days, time permitting to restore images in the forums that presently appear broken.
I’d like to thank those who brought the issue to our attention, and appreciate everyone’s patience while we work to fix things.
As the primary SysAdmin my goal is to continue refining the infrastructure design, while also reducing unnecessary costs and overhead.
When things go wrong, while there may not always be an immediate solution, I hope by working with others in the core team, along with the community to devise a solution that resolves at least, and at most prevents future issues.
Thanks again everyone!
