Echinacea purpurea, Lucky Star

One of my favourite flowers is Echinacea. Love these beautiful white ones that were growing in the garden at the Calgary Zoo on 9 August 2012.

Are any of you having the same problem on Flickr as I've had for the last three days? When I click on one of my photos to open that photo page, no other photos show up at the right hand side of the page, where usually several thumbnails of my most recent photos show up (below the map area). At first, instead of thumbnail photos, all I could see were squares with a tiny green icon iside. Now all I get is an empty square for my most recently posted photo, followed by empty space where the other photos should be. If I click on the right arrow, I eventually come to a thumbnail that is actually a photo. Exactly the same thing happens when I open other people's photo pages - their most recent photos do not show up on the right hand side of a photo page. I don't even know if my photos are showing up anywhere - maybe people are only seeing "blanks"? This has been mentioned in the Help Forum by a few other people, but nothing has been done to fix it - yet. Really beginning to annoy me, as well as making me feel very unmotivated.

Message, below, just received about this problem. However, it still isn't fixed for my photostream!

"On Thursday, we made some infrastructure changes to parts of our Farm3 which caused these broken thumbnails. Farm3 was running on some hardware and storage that's no longer up to standard. The new setup is faster and all around better but we made a mistake with some of the configuration. We have since fixed the thumbnail problem.

If anyone is still experiencing this problem, please post in this thread the link to the Flickr page that shows the problem. Please include your physical location - country or USA state is enough detail.

Flickr is growing and we're trying to stay ahead of the technical demands on our infrastructure. We'll continue to upgrade parts of our farms and threads like this one keep us honest.

We apologize for this mistake and are thankful for your help.
