True, i really doubt that it is a browser problem because everything else loads properly even the ads (AdChoices etc.) on oz Bargain.
note: if you really want to see the pic, its pretty obvious to just click on the box as people link to uploaded pics of bargains.
Yeah, nothing is loading on OzB today. Is it the same as Reddit with their "no pic" day? xD
The last bargain that doesn't have "Picture Coming Soon" was 20 hours 22 min ago (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/48397) for me. Everything since doesn't want to load.
same -> that is the last bargain for me with pic… suggests a server, program etc. problem, rules out browser problem.
I've notified Moocher as Scott's away. Foxshot may need a Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Scotty's jumped in and fixed this, foxshot is now working through the backlog.
Same here since yesterday.
Working now :)
Yep. Working for me too.
Thanks for reporting and testing!
Still seems a little sluggish though. Taking 2-4 minutes to pop the image up for new deals.
i believe that is normal, i think
Seem broke again today.
Thanks. I'll notify Scotty.
I know the deal link image is not working again…

The image files (as well as the snapshot generator) are hosted on a VPS at Linode in HE.net's Fremont CA data centre, and it has been going up and down like yoyos over the last couple of months. I am now serving the images from a backup resource (also somewhere in San Jose), but no new images are generated (for now).
I'll be shopping for a new US west-coast server today to migrate over. Hopefully something cheap :)
Do you know the way to San Jose
I’ve been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose
I’m goin’ back to find
Some peace of mind in San Jose
Okay. Now
media.ozbargain.com.aupoints to a server in LA. DNS resolution might take a while so those thumbnail images might be a bit flaky for a while.yep, working now… thanks…
It's BROKEN again :(
hehe needs another Ctrl Alt Del
…or another trip to San Jose….
Still waiting for the cheap tickets to come up on OzBargain…
Actually if for you
media.ozbargain.com.auresolves to173.255.243.176, it's still the old Linode server that is still having connectivity issues (data centre wide, which also took down quite a large number of sites). It should resolve to the new IP address soon…
I cannot access: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/cat/toys-games anymore I keep getting "404 Not Found Page that you are trying to request cannot be found" when I attempt to go to the page.
Yeah there was a split. We are getting a lot of gaming related deals (which I would prefer them to be tagged for specific platforms, like "PC Game", "iOS Game", "Xbox Game", etc) — however people often have no idea which category to put them under. Sometimes under computing, sometimes under entertainment, etc.
Thus a split to make things clearer.
If there's any new category request, please post them in the Announcement/Feedback forum…
Ah that actually works now. Yesterday I typed out the url with just gaming and it also gave me the 404 error but now it doesn't…cool :)
True, says Picture Coming Soon
