Yeah, I’ve had the same problem too. I bet they know about it and are already on it, though :)

They are working on it. Expect a response very soon.

Remember, WordPress.com is cutting-edge blogging technology. It also serves as the “test” site for future WordPress versions, so you get to try it out and put it through the paces before full version WordPress users get a chance. There are sometimes glitches along the way, but they are few and work goes on round the clock.

Mark – thank you indeed. You all do such a wonderful job here, and we often forget to say thank you for that. :)

It seems that suddenly the server that hosts the image files is not visible anymore: if you try to view an image, the URL is something like myblog.files.wordpress.com and the browser says the server cannot be found. I can’t ping the server either, DNS says the name cannot be resolved.

If you still can’t see them, please do a forced reload of the page that you’re looking at. CTRL-F5 on a PC.

I can’t seem to upload a new image: I just get a big red X instead. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. And of course it had to happen when my Photobucket account is down as well.

My images that I’ve uploaded through my blog are not showing up though the ones hosted from Flickr and Photobucket are. All the little avatar pictures on this page are just white squares with a little symbol in the upper left corner, except for the top one. Forced reloading isn’t working.

Thanks for working on the case, Mark — I’m hoping it will be fixed by tomorrow.

Please submit feedback with these problems (upper right hand corner of your blog’s dashboard). We cannot get enough information from your posts in the forums to either diagnose or fix the problem. Thanks!
