The TERA images I uploaded on April 11 are returning the error message, "Error: Invalid Board." I can see the images in the following album, but cannot click to enlarge them:

I can see the preview of the images in the album, but the link to the image does not work and returns the aforementioned message. It seems to only affect the set of TERA images I recently uploaded, as the April 8 photos from PAX are coming up fine.

I'd really like to use those images to preview TERA in a blog, shortly, particularly with the open-Beta coming April 20.

Happy gaming,

Boz

My wild guess is that there's a problem with the comment stream that was to be associated with those images. My further wild guess is that once in this state, there isn't likely to be any fixing it, unless you just upload the images again and the comment streams are properly attached. It seems the images themselves are actually accessible, although you'll have to fish out the links (and remove the _3), and the originals are fairly large. The error is obviously disconcerting though, and makes it less convenient to find the hosted original.

The _2 versions appear to exist for the images as well, so it is only the comment stream on the page that could really be missing (the links are all perfectly valid as well), that said, I imagine it can be fixed just by just correcting/reassigning/replacing the comment streams (they're basically just the same as a forum topic, just displayed in a specific way - they even use the same set of board IDs and can be displayed (pointless to do so though) in the UCB forum layout if you know the ID, which is pretty easy to find in the source when the page actually loads) connected to the images, but as you can just as easily reupload the images I can't imagine the staff members that could do that would consider it a particularly worthwhile use of time with the amount of other bugs they're probably dealing with atm (though it might be worth a try all the same, most staff can create boards, just not necessary one that'd be connected to an already existing user image comment stream). You uploaded all of those images with broken streams around the same time so I'm guessing it was caused by a bug in the system that's already fixed and this is just the remnants of it in a sense, the boards for the comment streams likely simply don't exist.
