I prepared 5 jpgs of no more than 150kb at 400 px wide for my new post.

I present them full size / no link in the post.

2 of the images show fine

3 of the images dont show. Not in the post, nor in the "browse" section

I then changed the dpi of the pictures to 72 (it was in 300 before) uploaded one of them, forgot to change from Thumbnail to Full Size. I check the page, it shows as a thumbnail.

I proceed to edit the image to change from thumbnail to full size. The images shows in the "browse" section.

I make the changes. I check the page. The image don't show.

I have tried changing and uploading images several times... those 3 images will not show.

Any body any idea, this is my second post and is becoming very anoying to loose so much time in such a minor thing. Please help.

Thanks

Jorge

If I click the thumbnail, the full image appears. Not too terribly annoying, but randomly irritating.

(1) here are the instructions which are illustrated http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/16/how-do-i-upload-pictures/
(2) we do not have a resizer so you must size your photos in microsoft paint or in photoshop, etc. before uploading them. Here are the size limitations for the themes http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/

How can I make a photo appear in my posting (not as a link)?
I have tried everything and read the postings here and on FAQ. They just keep appearing in DOUBLE postings, although I push "publish" once. And it does not show on the "dashboard" that I would have two of the postings. But on the website it is still double! I can`t figure it out!

Could someone post a step-by-step guide to someone as stupid as mee as to what to do in order to have normal photo posts here? :)

I'm following the standard process, and there's nothing unusual about the picture, but it's like the capability is suddenly broken. I'll take your advice timetheir and use feedback to let them know.

There's no picture in the post because I can't get the picture to load with a thumbnail. Here's the post, FWIW:

I'm getting pretty annoyed because it seems almost every photo I have to go back in and upload and re link... anyone have any suggestions on how i get around this problem? I give up for now because i just spent 2 hours on this and every pic i uploaded except two has a broken thumbnail.

1) I'm editing a post
2) I upload images
3) I select the images as "Linked to image" and drag them into the post.
4) I hit "Save and Continue Editing". Everything is fine.

Now then: I'll be editing the post, hitting "Save and Continue Editing" occasionally, and randonly when the page refreshes, ALL the thumbs are broken. The pop-up says "no thumbnail" with a line through it, and the linked pref will be reverted to "No Link"

What the heck is going on here? It's making me crazy. The only fix I have found is to re-upload the images and hope for the best, but something is VERY flaky with the thumbnailing system at wp.com.

I note that you are currently coming in via Comcast. They have a history of using broken proxy servers that we've covered previously here in the forums. All I can suggest since Comcast won't fix their issue (Been ongoing for years) is clearing out your own local browser cache and trying to do a forced reload of the page.

Good luck,

strange too is when i click on the empty picture it still takes me to the 404 page.

ok, i launched firefox and it seemed to display things fine. next i shut down my IE and reopened another and now it seems fine too. i wonder if occasionally if IE fails to render pictures for whatever reason wrt looking at a wordpress blog. memory leak maybe?

What isn't fine is that occasionally (randomly) the thumbnails will appear as if the image can't be found.

Can't help you without an example of this.

]]> simontam on "Photos not showing up" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/photos-not-showing-up#post-23098 Tue, 22 Aug 2006 16:04:40 +0000 simontam 23098@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ I have to agree with a bunch of posts above. Authoring the posts and adding pictures even with small thumbnails appears to be working fine. What isn't fine is that occasionally (randomly) the thumbnails will appear as if the image can't be found. Clicking on the thumbnail takes you to the Page Not Found. If you wait a while and revisit the post everything is fine again, or if you're really sick you can repost everything and all will be well again.

This is very strange. I'm not sure if it's to do with the WordPress servers not properly serving up images or something. Are the pictures stored on a different server that is separate from the text? My pictures and thumbnails are not that big, all less than 100k and I see this problem a fair bit. My bet is that others do as well.

My original post specifically addressed drmike's advice when I wrote, "This is not a URL problem, the url is still correctly 'foo.thumbnail.jpg' WP.COM has simply suddenly decided that the thumbnail that was there a MOMENT ago is now missing."

To restate it, I will upload an image and it will have a thumbnail generated properly. After editing the post a bit, and hitting "save and continue editing", some images will suddenly lose the thumbnail. It seems completely random. Only by deleting and re-uploading the images is the problem fixed.

This is the same exact problem that bsleys is having.

On the below linked page I have 5 pictures all with thumbnails. They all looked fine when I first posted the page but now when I've gone back to look at the page again the thumbnails are gone. If I go and edit the page and click the pictures in the picutre browser and bring up the menu the top option in No Thumbnail in strike thru font. If I delete the pictures and reupload them the post will fix itself since the thumbnails will now be there again with all the full size picutres but a couple minutes later the tumbnails go poof again.
