Same problem here on the West coast, only full screen pix are visible. Patrick, I really hope you have your pix saved on your computer or other photo hosting websites such as photobucket.com. I saved mine few months ago, just in case.
Cheers...

Within my account I can see the thumbnails, but when I try to open one I see no photo just the vessel details.
When I try a Ship Photo Search I get no photo just a list of photographers against the ship's name.

It seems to me, the problem has been observed and reported to the technical person responsible for investigating and/or fixing it.
So what value to the whole thing is added by more and more people adding their complaints?
None! Just let the man get on with it and I am sure all will be well when he finds the root cause.
And, if I was he, I would be taking my weekend time off with family etc seriously and would begin looking at it tomorrow. For him, it is work.

@Kelvin Davies
The man at work could have given a short message to all that he is going to fix the problem.

Kelvin is absolutely right, I guess most people should realise that it is not their divine right that the site is always functioning as intended. That the reaction from IT is slow is not uncommon, but please remember that this is a free site where you do not have to pay a penny to get access to a lot of high res photographs. I am sure the problem will be solved eventually, but may be not immediately. Until that time, go out and shoot ships.... :)

In all fairness to the IT man and I should know, I had almost four years of dealing with him so am well aware of the difficulties in communication, this happened on a SUNDAY and he does have a Family and life beyond this Website.

I know it is frustrating when these things happen but I am confident it will shortly be sorted out and all back to normal.

Regards
Ken

Hi all,

Sorry for the lack of information. We've been working on getting the site properly visible again.

It should all work fine now. We removed a faulty server. Nothing old is lost, but can't speak for the last 24 hours in case uploads were timing out. The site may appear a bit slower as we're replacing this.  

Regards,
Henrik
