We have migrated to new image server since last 2 releases of both Surfer and Mobile in anticipation of sunsetting one of our image hosting servers. Some cleaning up and maintenance of servers was necessary to plan for future scalable solutions.
From 25th of March, 2020, images hosted on img.esteem.ws will be unavailable. We have migrated over from esteem.ws to esteem.app more than a year ago, it is about time to sunset old servers. Our current/new host img.esteem.app will continue to function and serve our users.
All your images from img.esteem.ws is still cached on steemitimages.com servers as well, it will likely continue to be served unless Steemit Inc. removes them.
We recommend you backup, download your images and move them into new host. Your images are accessible in your Gallery. You can find Gallery page with all your images both on Surfer and Mobile.
After server offline, you can only access them with: steemitimages.com/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/imagelink.png
If you are using latest version of eSteem or joined recently, you don't need to take any actions, because latest versions already using new servers for hosting your images. We are also exploring more decentralized approach for image hosting. More on that later...
Steem on!
