Missing images

I spent several hours cropping and editing two logos for aesthetic use in an article, uploading them to the LoK wiki for use. Secure and confident in my experience that images on Wikia generally stick around for a long time unless someone decides to destroy them, I got rid of my original copies to allow a HDD reformat. Now, a while later, I come back to find that, out of all the others in the entire database, these two have somehow become glitched out and completely inaccessible, leading to broken links.

Nobody deleted them, nobody touched them, nobody tinkered with them. They've just vanished and can't be retrieved. Somebody PLEASE help me recover these files - they took me hours to crop and polish properly. I swear to you, I'll never make this mistake again. --Dubiel 18:25, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
- The first one looks fine. The second one doesn't exist though. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:31, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Did you mean SR1 instead of SR2? Crucially 18:39, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
- D'oh: indeed, I meant SR1. Fixed.
I get 404 for both, but if some people can view the BO1 one then this is encouraging. If anyone can, can you please reupload them under a new filename to that wiki, and I can take it from there? --Dubiel 18:58, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

- Fixed, sorry about this. Basically we had a minor glitch during the time period you uploaded them, and 22 images in total where caught between two different servers. We recovered the images from the backup and they are now available. Again, sorry for the mess. Crucially 19:09, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, they're now working perfectly! Lesson learned: keep backups unless you're prepared to complain :P --Dubiel 20:18, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
