Is this a temporary thing or did I miss the memo?

This is the thread:

I believe (and I hope!) that this is a temporary issue... as images uploaded in a 2015 thread of mine were there just a couple of days ago, but they're missing today.

When I go into my PIP History folder, none of my images with URL dates from 2012 or 2015 are available. I'm not going to panic, just yet.

When the image below reappears, all is well.

Those are all images hosted on "isthiswhereiputausername"'s server. I will send him a PM and ask him if there's a problem. I was planning to move all images to my own server (since I have more than enough storage space now) so I hope I can still access them...

Thank you Cliff, hoping for the best.

It's been a couple more days... and still nothing. Now I'm getting worried.

https://hostkansas.com/
has private registration at Godaddy.com
It is now parked but same name servers.
ns1.hostkansas.com
My guess is that moving servers is likely the problem resolving wrong ip address.

Actually, no they're not. I was just able to find about 24,000 of them. Still missing about 100,000...

No. Some images.fiero.nl/2012/ works and other don't. Example: Go look at both Patrick links above.
right click image then Properties or Inspect

images.fieroforum.com/2015/ , images.fiero.nl/2015/ and others are not fix.
Like from https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/138175.html


but now I edited posts w/ images to "Upload Media" method in that thread but not editing hundreds of other posts just for active threads. Users Can't edit Archive Threads even if still have copies.

Even if Cliff copied pictures, Others have to authorize and "Rerout" DNS name to new server IP and wait hours to days for all DNS resolvers and local caches to catch up.

Windows has "ipconfig /flushdns" but many use DNS over HTTPS and such that flushing like that won't help.

If Cliff have edited all posts to new server w/ new name, hasn't done that yet. Plus Cliff said he didn't copy images from there...

While Cliff may own Fiero.nl... a server can be anywhere and that when image.Fiero.nl or image.Fiero.nl/anyfoldername/ matters because on the other server. Other servers or Parts of it is "down..." Like Server have several "Drives" and some "drives" are not mounted for whatever reason so some images work, others don't. (Even Images on a RAID Disk pack, RAID data can timeout for a web connection for having a Drive "Dead" or Rebuilding.)

E2A--> Cliff posted while I posted why some images works but what said above often still is true too.
