Maybe this will work. It might be just happening on my laptop.

My header image was working fine until after I changed my wordpress url name. I now have two blogs under one email account with the new url as the primary. Everything transfered over to the new url except suddenly the header image was gone and it seems to come and go. A widget image was missing but fixed when I manually changed the url to the new one. I don't know if changing the url of the blog had anything to do with the header image disappearing off and on or not.
The new url is applyingcriticalanalysis.wordpress.com. I have it set to private because I'm not ready to go public yet. Did I mess something up by ending up with two blogs under one email account or just a coincidence?

The blog linked to your username is a free hosted WordPress.com blog that has no blogger created content at all in it. Please post an active link starting twith http:// to the blog you are having issues with.

Have you made sure the image is the correct size required by the theme and that the image is an accepted file type? The dimensions for the header on the Twenty Ten theme are 940 in width and 198 in height. See: troublehooting images

Hi there,
I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

I'm trying to put a custom header in place (standard 2011 template) and it forgets it every couple of minutes (the image is listed in media but is 'null'). In fact it seems to keep forgetting changes I've made generally on the site - so I'll upload a header and then it just says 'updated' without going to the crop stage. (Disk problems???)
There are also times when I have clicked on update, it say things are updated, I check the live page, the change hasn't happened. I thought finger trouble at first but it has happened way too often for that, although I can't prove it. Maybe it's true what the others are saying about me being paranoid :)
Hope you manage to sort it our soon because it means WordPress.com isn't really usable - very odd. Thanks.

My guess is that something's up with image hosting.

We cannot use header images that are hosted elsehwre. We must upload them into our Media Library.

Myself, I've already tried uploading it again, and it disappeared for the 2nd time as well.

My guess is that something's up with image hosting. Don't know for sure, though.

I would suggest that you delete that image and then upload it again and see what happens.
