Broken image in IOTD

I posted a new IOTD some days ago but the front image in the gallery seems to be broken. A bug somewhere?
When I browsed through the gallery I found that some other postings also had broken images.

I used preview functionality and then updated the posting a few times if this helps debugging the cause.

The posting i'm refering to is http://www.gamedev.net/page/community/iotd/index.html/_/demorize-digital-signage-particle-system-r323

Looks fine in Google Chrome.
It seems to look fine in Seamonkey; I get the same results as in the above image.
The thumbnail doesn't load here with Opera either:

It doesn't work under IE9 either, and a proxy doesn't help, however clicking on the IOTD shows the image properly, so apparently I have a different bug than you... Where are you located, Kjell?

Weird, [s]it looked fine on my iPhone[/s], but is busted on my Win7 Chrome
[edit]no, actually, it's broken on my iPhone too[/edit]

Ah. mine also looks like Hodgman's image - I thought he meant the page linked to.
The image that's being linked to doesn't exist, I'm guessing something went wrong with the upload.
I tried both Firefox and IE and it looks like the above images. Yes, it seems like the thumbnail image is not available on the server.
I tried editing the post to re-upload the image but that didn't help.

I don't know if the image showed at the beginning when I first posted the message since I edited it once after my initial post to correct a few spelling errors before I actually noticed that the front image was broken.
Could it be that the original image is removed when you edit a post and the new image is not uploaded as a thumb?
Just a wild guess...
