Problem with the Galleries

[leigh.bess.toad]

I've purposely stayed away from the galleries for the last month to give myself a bit of space after posting so many for the last 6 months. But I just tried to look at the "Which Guy" picture for today and was unable to. I got a blank space. So I cut and pasted the address directly into a browser window. And got a message that said "Tumblr servers were over capacity and some pages would not be viewable". I've gotten this message when looking at pics on Tumblr, but never on the Galleries. Has anyone else had this problem or ever noticed it. It'll be interesting to see if it settles down later.

Yes LBT same problem with me...some pics I am unable to view, just assumed it was on my end. And when they do load, it is very slow going, Twice as slow as previously.

Perhaps they are becoming too popular and they are getting overloaded?

I did think at one time that I had too many stored, so I deleted about half of them yesterday just to see if it would help speed up the downloads, but it didn't...

Tumblr is doing an upgrade so the dashboard function (the control panel used to post pics to your account) is very slow and the ability of the gallery to call the URL for the pic is compromised. They're working on it. In the mean time, if pics don't show and you see a red x just keep trying.

Thanks -- I too had the same problem and thought it was my overeagerness to catch up with all the delightful and exciting photos you post, Justaguy, after being on the road for a few weeks and with vey limited access to a computer and time to download the photos then... glad to see it is just a small glitch and not my computer or libido.

I got the infamous X a few times, but simply trying a second time always corrected the situation... and it was usually worth the bit of extra effort
