Are all the pictures gone?

[Matt Kirsch]

Almost certainly a server-side problem. All you can do is ride it out and wait until it gets fixed.

Hopefully the side admins are aware of it now.

So teach an old man a new trick,

 

What exactly is a cache, where is it accessible, how do i clear it once i find it???????

What @CRVB91 said 

IDK what device you use, but for apple-

settings-safari-clear history and website data- select timeframe, as in the last 10 minutes or all data.

Having the same issues here too. Cleared cache and logged out/in and that just made it worse 🙃 

Same here....

[John Rowehl]

Signing out, clearing history and website data and signing back in didn’t change things for me either.

[vtfireman85]

There does seem to be something going on. BJ always said clear cache and sign out/in. Has @Farmall_51weighed in?

Yep the IT people tell you that 1st so they can log a response on your it ticket. Keeps their response time "world class" on the charts.

They don't do that to the big wigs.

I just know about wire nuts..

That’s a bs solution… if only 1 person was having issues that might be appropriate but when everyone is having issues it’s not the individual but the sites issue

That would like you telling a customer to reset the breaker and call me back if it trips again

I was just relaying what I had been told by BJ, it seemed to help a lot of the time, I wasn’t trying to be a know it all .

THANK YOU

[jeffym42]

Just want to make everyone aware that we are working towards resolving the issues with the pictures.  We have actually been working on this for the past 2 months with Amazon where the storage is. We will continue to work diligently on this. 

[acem]

Thank You!

Ah Amazon.  Now I know where the problem lies.  Before I retired I was the Software release/IT Operations/Patch Management/Cloud Transfer officer for the US Army's Safety Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama.  Amazon and their Commercial Data Center buds went to the Department of Defense (DOD), Chief Information Officer and convinced the minions that the Commercial entities could save DOD millions of dollars if it would just let them manage all the DOD Data Centers in the Commercial Cloud.  It wasn't true but the snake oil salesmen made up incredible savings numbers, so the move was on.

For the better part of 6 years before I retired, the Safety Center tried to negotiate with the approved DOD Cloud Providers, a sticking point was always response time versus cost.  There was always tap dancing about what the provider considered acceptable response time.  When we tried to get them to agree to the standard that the Safety Center had with our existing contract things would always go South.  Our fear was we would just be a small part of their business and be one of the last to get attention.

But, even with out the "Joy" of dealing with an unresponsive Cloud provider the Safety Center had to deal with "Big Army", who manages all Army Systems access to the WWW.  With our own application releases we had three networks, two internal ( Development and Test) and our Production network.  Application development and updates are created and tested thoroughly on the Internal networks and/and only then is it considered for release to Production.  It is scheduled/released and tested one last time to be sure all is good.  Now I laid all this out because that is the procedures that DOD says are to mandated for all software that is released on it's networks.

Want to know how many times we came in early in the morning to find the Safety Center's access to the WWW down or one of our applications would be off line?  After a check of our side we would call "Big Army", normal response was like your 5 year old, "It isn't/wasn't us".  But the system logs would indicate that a change took place on the network at a certain time and bang no access.  Sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour everything would miraculously start working.  Imagine that!  More often than not a system file was updated or a setting was changed, without any controls being in place to document what change was made and/or who made the change.  If the Center operated like that "Big Army" would pull our system accreditation.

If this has been going on for several months and this site's software and hardware has not had any undocumented changes, then some one changed a setting/file on Amazon's site.  Good Luck finding the issue.  I don't envy you.
