Missing image? Try this:

Looks like the problem we may have with some missing images is that the content provider is case sensitive. Changing from "image.jpg" to "image.JPG" may be the fix for most images, since that all-caps file extension is something that Windows will do to you.

Assuming that this is open for posting, is this a temporary problem, or a durable feature?

What Eddie told us is that the system from the upgrade that looks up image URLs is case sensitive. So you have to match the case of the upload exactly when you link it, including the case of the file extension.

Not too sure if it is a feature. It is durable, though.

Oh yeah: If you need to look up the original capitalisation for an image URL, go to the image list and use the filename search to enter the filename of the image you're dealing with. (The search isn't case-sensitive so it should find it.) The URL it comes up with there will have the original capitalisation so you can correct it on the page.

This really doesn't help much for the missing WMG smilies and flame bait banner icons.

That's a cache issue. I see them fine. This particular feature/whatever only concerns images uploaded by the Image Uploader.

Images in Wiki Pages will need an update for this.

Is there a fix for images like [1]◊ this where rewriting them to JPG doesn't work except for pulling them through Wayback and reuploading them after renaming them (Because the uploader says that the file is already in use despite neither the image list nor the image itself showing that)?
