Is it just me or are most of the card images not working?

It's not just you. I figured it was just my computer, since the similar effect on the Wizards main site is actually not working for me, either.

Same here for me. I thought I had a issue with my comp. but now I am not so sure. the Wizards site and here now are giving me issues to look at cards. I wonder if it could be the Browser I am using. I am using Google Chrome. Anyone else have this issue with Google Chrome?

I just sent a message about it. From what you're describing MagnorCriol my guess is that the main wizards site where the card images are linked from have either been moved, reformatted, or their site is under maintenance.

I'm on Chrome too. But dj, I think you're right...and I didn't even think about that. In my mind this site just had all the images loaded up itself or something. =p I think you're right, if T/O gets its images from the Wizards site then I imagine that it's connected.

Having all the images themselves would take up a lot of server room. Not that they don't have it, I don't know, but my guess is they are linked to their site, it makes for a lot less storage, but sucks when they undergo maintenance cuz there's nothing you can do to fix it. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I hope they fix it and its not Google Chrome. I like Google Chrome.

Hello everyone.
Terribly sorry about the problem. I had moved the images onto another server and forgot to update the reference.
Reading your speculations is interesting. =)
No, the images are uploaded everytime a set is released by very handy volunteers and its all entirely served on TappedOut's mighty server, which your upgrades pay for. Thank you all, its fixed!

Hey, speculation is half of what Magic players do, right? =p

Seems alright here. Strangely though, on my deck page - all the card images for the deck list work fine, but any links to cards in the comments are still broken.

card links in comments in the past few hours will remain broke. speculate away.

I use both Chrome and Firefox and also have the problem on both. At first I though there was a browser incompatibility with firefox 4 but Chrome which never gave me a problem did the same thing.
This problem is not with the browsers

No that has recently started for me also, so far the exceptions have been basic lands.
