That's very not good. I've sent a message to Drew and Langdon to see if they can figure out what's going on.

Hopefully it's just a database corruption and not lost images.

I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't get one of my portfolio shots to come up.

At first glance it appears to be a folder permissions issue. Trying to browse directly to any filename in the directory for the affected challenges returns an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error. Trying to browse to a nonexistent image in another challenge folder returns an HTTP 404 (Not Found) error.

The affected challenges are:

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (Challenge 226)
Choices (Challenge 227)
Selective Desaturation (Challenge 228)

I see no reason to believe the images themselves are missing, but since I don't have direct access to the server I can't guarantee that. Looks like we'll have to wait until morning.
