Amazon S3 outage affected Everywhere

Posted by Jason Schupp on July 20, 2008 5:14 PM

Today at 9:05 am PDT, Amazon started reporting an outage with S3, the online storage service we use to host images on Everywhere. Because of this, all photos were unavailable, and uploading new images would also be problematic. This lasted until some time around 4:40 pm.

We're sorry about this unexpected outage! As of this time, Amazon still hasn't reported back how the problem got started. The good news is that all your uploaded images from before are fine. If you tried uploading an image during the outage, and it's not showing up on the site, uploading should now work and you can have at it again.
