Missing images at Meta.discourse.org

Thank you. I was looking at the correct spot, then. :woman_shrugging:. I have waved my :magic_wand: in that general direction, is the image in the top left corner loading for you now?

I was going to delete it but I pressed undelete, then tried deleting again but it said the action was performed too many times. I had to wait it out.

:thinking: That one has me stumped. I canā€™t find the images on the server to restore them.

Edited to add:
Iā€™m told there was an incident in the past that made some uploads from 2017 and before irrecoverable. :disappointed:

These ongoing issues should be resolved now, we switched off hybrid secure uploads on meta which is a custom configuration we only used on meta.

'Updating Last Seen' and 'hijack topics timings' and 'Track Visit' is still running after 90 seconds

The missing images in that topic are linked from a third-party site. They were not uploaded to Meta.

Discourse downloads remote images to local, right?

Yes.

In this case, the urls are returning a 403, and when I look up the post from the rails console, the image_upload_id associated with that post is nil.

The Wayback Machine has one snapshot of that topic from 2020, and thereā€™s no image nor ā€œbroken imageā€ icon in those two spots like there is in places where images were successfully uploaded.

I suspect the urls were returning a 403 from the time they were posted, so we could never store the images on our own servers.

In any case, thereā€™s no image ID pointing to an image on our servers that would allow me to restore the missing images to the topic.
