Well not all of them. I have 13 left in my gallery. 240 have disappeared. The posts are all there, but no image. I feel I might be the target of some kind of attack. I have reported it to DA, and I hope it can be rectified soon. * Does anyone have a similar experience? * And can I ask someone to check if the pictures are also gone for them or I have a local problem.

The day before yesterday I discovered that someone on BDSMLR posted a doctored version of this picture, Contemplation. I contacted the poster and proposed that he post the original picture and underlined that I wanted a clear credit on his post. I even provided a link to the original. If he or she was not willing to do that I demanded that the picture be taken down. The next day the doctored picture was reposted - again with no credit. On that basis I posted a complaint to BDSMLR and today the blog is banned. Now that was not really what I wanted to achieve. I just wanted the offending picture dealt with. I understand that posting pictures on Deviant Art or other places opens for people reposting them. I am OK with that. What I am not OK with is doctoring pictures and posting them without attribution. I am sorry it came to the banning of the blog, but I am fully convinced that I made a fair offer to the BDSMLR blogger.

Eclipse has a bug in the group administration. The window we normally open to approve submissions to the gallery does not work anymore. Instead it sends us to our 'Watch' page. Until now We have simply switched Eclipse off to do this, but that possibility is gone now. I have submitted a bug-report ticket, but nothing has changed and I have not heard anything back This means that we cannot approve pictures at the moment. Hopefully the issue will be solved or we will find a workaround. Until then, Please have patience with us!
