Hi! As some people noticed, the backgrounds pages on our wiki sometimes load with a number of the last images missing.
This was already part of the reason for the default/abstract/photo split, but now it reached a point, where I never get to see everything on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Backgrounds/Extra_Photo This is due to the wiki's "surge protection". You will even be told so if you try to open one of the full size images directly after (incomplete) loading of the page. We even lost a contributor because he wanted to use one of those image hosters and I didn't allow that because there shall be no holes in the wiki in a few months or even a few years. It's a known issue and I already talked with Kenneth and Matthew Nuzum, but I want to make this new statement official: It seems there is no easy fix, but sheesh, is that ever ridiculous and annoying. I did set up the background pages and kept an eye on them, but I will not continue to do so and not lift a finger in this area for the next cycle, unless this issue is resolved. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
