I'm very mad right now. Why? Well, last night, I'd tried to replace the old thumbnail (Atalanta Valentine) for the Green Room Story: Happy Valentine's Day Date with the new one that I'd scanned last night. Well, when I'd finished the upload, I'd took a look at it, and discovered, to my shock, that while the picture seems to appear inside the gallery, when I looked at the story itself, I get an image not found prompt instead of the picture. I'd tried to upload it several times, but I keep getting the image not found prompt. Well, I'd did a search to find out what was going on, and discovered that it is a bug that has been around for at least two years via the FA Forum, and it suggest that a trouble ticket be sent, explaining what is going on, showing them the file in question and the page where the new scan was uploaded.
Well, I haven't yet heard anything from the FA admins, but when I'd opened up irfanview 64 on the computer that my brother and I use, after I'd first scanned another of the pieces that I'd commission from  drakefenwick I'd found the folder which contained all of his art that I'd downloaded over the years had somehow been corrupted as well as his folder inside the Germania folder seemed to have two pieces corrupted as well. Well, the first thing I'd did upon finding that out was to first put all of the uncorrupted pieces into a new folder, then I went back to re-scan the three Alex and Atalanta pieces that I'd scanned yesterday, as well as finish scanning the Helena Sheepadopolous piece (Helenapasture) that he had done for me as a commission back in about 2001, before getting out of my brother's side of the computer and go to mine. After using cccleaner and then defragger to clean out the c: drive, I went online and then went to see what the problem was. Well, I found out that the e: drive (the external hard drive) had been corrupted, or rather the Brian Burke file was, before showing my how I can fix the drive. Well, I'd followed the instructions and waited for it to do it job. And, sigh, while I was able to recover the two pictures, the Brian Burke folder itself, which had over 15 years worth of art inside it, had been removed. It is gone. Grrrr. After getting a bit ticked, I did what I had planned to do when I thought something like that might happen, I went to this page and started to save all of the Brian Burke commission pieces that I'd uploaded here over the years and put copies of them into a new folder. As for the rest, I'd already left a message to my friend and expect a call from him later today. I recall him telling me that after the last time he had to fix the external hard drive that he had held onto the previous one, just in case the drive got borked again. I hope he still has it and the folder is still there so that he can just come over with the file and upload it onto the drive. Keep fingers crossed. As for the thumbnail, I'd made another attempt to replace it, and, well, I'm still getting the image not found prompt! Grrrrr!! Well, guess I'll just have to wait until someone from FA contacts me and tells me if they can resolve the problem, as I do not want to re-upload the story and the picture. It might not be one of my popular stories, but I refused to do an upload just because of a glitch that FA have knows about and should've fixed long before now.
