I searched and browsed the site feedback forum topics but could not find another post related to this problem. Hard to believe I am the first one to post this question…
I frequently search for project ideas and especially lately it seems like a large number of the older project posts seem to have broken image links or at least a problem pulling them up. The project thumbnail images are sometimes visible but sometimes not. Clicking the zoom button, you are not able to move past the image that is missing which most often seems to be the first image. Sometimes the thumbnails seem to work okay but usually the thumbnail image is missing too. I don't know if I am just looking more at older posts lately or what but I seem to be seeing this more frequently lately.
Is there a known cause for this? I know that photobucket was an issue for a while at least. Other than sending a note to Cricket each time, I was hoping that someone might have an easy fix? Even better would be for LJ to ID the problem or problem images and implement a site-wide fix or at least display an image saying that the original image is not available if it can't be fixed.
EDIT: Adding an example. First thumbnail is missing the first image never loads. Interesting thing about this one is that if you go to the poster's project page, you can see the first image.
